We will provide guidance in resolving the operating problems encountered by the franchisee as needed from time to time. Please refer to Franchise Agreement, Section 11. (4) ADVERTISING PROGRAM FOR THE FRANCHISE SYSTEM. We expect advertising for the franchise system to consist of, among other things, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, newspaper and/or radio advertisements, co -marketing with organizations focused on the performing arts, co -marketing with elementary schools that do not compete with us, establishing a membership with local chambers of commerce, networking, updates to the Building Kidz website, and more. We expect advertising and media coverage to be local and regional. We plan to prepare o ur advertising materials in -house, through our own advertising department. We are not required to spend any amount on advertising in the area or territory where any franchisee is located. We do have a budget for corporate advertising, however, which we wil l spend on regions that we expect to benefit the most from the marketing and advertising efforts. Local Advertising . You will engage in local advertising as required by Franchise Agreement and the Operations Manual, at your sole expense. You will submit to us evidence of the completion of your advertising requirements within 30 days after expiration of the applicable advertising period. You may not advertise or use our trademarks in any fashion on the internet or via other means of advertising without our express written consent. You may use your own advertising and marketing material, but only after receiving written approval from us, however you do not need to request approval for previously -approved materials in which you are only changing such variables as dates or prices. We w ill use our best efforts to approve or disapprove of materials submitted by you within 30 days after receipt. Even if we have approved specified materials, we may later withdraw our approval if we believe it necessary to make the advertising conform to ch anges in the franchise system or to correct unacceptable features of the advertising. Until such time as your school achieves 85% of its FTE capacity (as defined in the Operations Manual), you must spend a minimum of $1,500 per month on approved marketing efforts. Upon achieving 85% of FTE capacity, your required spend will be $500 per mont h. We may allow you to reduce your local minimum ad spend to the cost of a basic Yelp (or similar page or electronic review service as defined in the Operations Manual) paid account when and for as long as enrollment is 90% of capacity or greater and at least 10% of capacity on Waitlist.
