Retailing differs from marketing in the sense that it refers to only those activities, which are related to marketing goods
and/or services to final consumers for personal, family or household use. Whereas marketing, according to American
Marketing Association, refers to the process of planning and executing the conception, pricing, promotion and
distribution of ideas, goods and services to create exchanges that satisfy individual and organizational objectives.

With the increase of fierce competition, marketing is an important tool to run every business successfully.
The process of marketing in franchising is another area which if planned strategically is sure to give an
edge over other competitors in the market.
Marketing is a strategic tool to develop every business. A strong marketing strategy is the need of the hour,
without which a business cannot run successfully in the market. A franchising business is a twofold
marketing strategy, in one way it boosts the sales of the parent company and in another way it also takes
care of the franchised outlets. A franchisor is involved in the promotion of the brand at the national level
while its franchisees at the local level.
