4.3. Franchise Advocacy

Franchise Advocacy

Franchise Advocacy – A new concept introduced by Aristotle is Franchise Advocacy. This permits the targeting of legislators based on the relationship between an individual and his/her linked organization for legislator matching purposes. Standard advocacy is dependent on the individuals home or work address that is matched to the legislator.

 

To enable Franchise Advocacy it is necessary to setup your data in 360 to establish a Franchise Relationship between your individuals to organizations. Once set, you simply need to set your alert to "Franchise" within Advocacy Model within the Action Alert Wizard.This will set your alert to recognize the Legislators linked to an individual's organization record as targets.All other targeting setup in the Alert Wizard will be enforced including Jurisdiction, State and Chamber.

Setting up your Data:

Franchise Advocacy is dependent on structuring your data in two areas:

1. Organization – The organization must be marked as a Franchise in the check box.  This can be done via manual entry, standard import or through a tech services request.
2. Individual Record – The individual must be linked to organization(s). You may link an individual to multiple organization to reflect the business interests. Multiple individuals may also be linked to multiple organizations. Process to set Franchisor (individual) to Franchise (Organization) Relationship​
