VIDEO TESTIMONIALS

Jason Anderson
Chief Technology officer, United Franchise Group

I spent months vetting essentially every well-known franchise focused marketing company. After receiving detailed proposals and speaking with dozens of vendors it was clear that Steve, Joe and the team at IDS were the best choices. Not only was their pricing the best, the IDS team were unequivocally the easiest and best to deal with on such a large project. Most importantly after completing the projects, we needed to see a quick ROI. Bottom line, within 6 months of launching all sites and marketing plans we had closed deals and positive ROI.

Vice President of Marketing & Operations, U.S. Lawns, Inc.

Working with IDS has been a positive and refreshing experience. They understand the value of establishing a true partnership. Too many digital solution companies offer cookie-cutter services with little effort put into understanding the values of the customers they serve. From the start, Steve, Joe, and the rest of the IDS team took the time to learn our business. They deeply understood our values and goals, and have helped us better communicate our story to our target market. Equally important, they have produced tangible results for our website. Not only is our site one of the best-looking sites in the industry, it’s creating a high level of user engagement and lead generation for our franchisees. If you are looking for a results-driven digital team with personality, IDS is the company for you.

Founder & CEO, Apricot Lane Boutique

We engaged IDS to design a new franchise sales website with content focused on SEO optimization. They also created and managed ongoing blog content. IDS created franchise-targeted personas and marketed to those personas through Google Ads and Facebook while tracking stats and ROI. Lastly, they developed a Facebook strategy to attract leads for resale opportunities. We could not be more pleased with how IDS has wrapped their arms around us through each process to satisfy our needs. Their communication is beyond expectation and they’ve introduced us to other resources which we’ve also engaged with. IDS is a true partner investing in our success which makes for a sustained long term relationship.

Todd Chapman
Director of Franchise Recruiting, U.S. Lawns, Inc.

We have been very satisfied with the results IDS has delivered. I researched multiple companies when looking to revamp our franchise development website. From the start, Steve, Joe, and his team shared the radical personalization our team believes in. They really took the time to understand our culture and brand which showed in the final product. In addition, our lead flow increased 91% in less than a year. I highly recommend IDS!
