Dhawade Vadewale had genuine local love but no system to convert that affection into franchise expansion. Interested investors had nowhere to go and nothing to read.
The constraints
- A regional brand stepping onto a bigger stage.
- A trust-heavy, high-consideration decision for investors.
- A modest marketing budget.
The strategy
Productise the franchise story. Build an inquiry-to-onboarding funnel and prove the operating system, not just the food.
The execution
- 01Built a franchise microsite with a clear investor narrative.
- 02Produced an investor deck and unit-economics one-pager.
- 03Ran story-led local content and PR to build credibility.
- 04Wired an inquiry funnel from form to onboarding call.
The results
| KPI | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outlets | 7 | 19 | +171% |
| Franchise inquiries / qtr | ~8 | 60+ | +650% |
| Inquiry → signed | 5% | 15% | 3x |
| Brand search volume | Base | +90% | +90% |
How this was measured:figures come from the client's own analytics — Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console, and the relevant ad-platform dashboards — tracked over 12 months. Before/after windows are like-for-like.
Key learnings
Investors buy a proven, repeatable system — not nostalgia. The unit-economics one-pager closed more conversations than any ad.
We had the product and the love. Shubham gave us the system that made expansion inevitable.
