WHY TRADEMARK?
Trademarking is indeed a crucial step for protecting the Steri-Clean brand identities. By obtaining trademarks for the brands, Steri-Clean gains legal protection against competitors attempting to imitate or copy the brand. This protection serves not only to prevent customer poaching but also to safeguard the reputation of the Steri-Clean brands.
In the competitive business landscape, it's not uncommon to face challenges from competitors using names, logos, or taglines that are too close to Steri-Clean's own. However, the efforts to maintain the uniqueness of the Steri-Clean brands involve fighting against such imitations. Trademarks play a vital role in helping Steri-Clean establish and defend its distinct identity in the market. They provide the legal foundation to protect the brand's intellectual property, ensuring that the Steri-Clean brands remain identifiable, reputable, and exclusive.
Territory
The division of territories in a franchise system is a strategic approach to provide franchise owners with the best possible results and ample business opportunities. In the context of Steri-Clean franchises, each territory is designed to have a minimum population of 1,000,000 and often more. This is a substantial and advantageous population size compared to many other franchise territories.
​
Having a designated territory means that as a franchise owner, you have exclusive rights to operate within that specific geographic area. No other franchise of the same brand can operate in your territory without your permission. This exclusivity allows franchise owners to focus their marketing efforts and build relationships within their designated area without direct competition from other franchisees.
​
The larger population and extensive coverage of Steri-Clean territories offer significant business potential. Franchise owners can target various entities, including residential homes, apartment buildings, hotels, police departments, fire departments, mortuaries, coroners, insurance companies, and businesses. The goal is to establish connections and partnerships within the community to drive new and repeat business.
​
Combined with the support of Steri-Clean's nationwide sales and marketing efforts, franchise owners have a powerful force to help them succeed in their territory. Success in a Steri-Clean franchise relies on the franchise owner's ability to actively engage with the community, make contacts, and leverage the broader marketing initiatives to drive business growth.
