Local Business is Part of a National Company Winning Coveted Award

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. - Dec. 6, 2016 - EntSun -- The end-of-year rankings are out: Of the 10 best advertising franchises, FranchiseRankings.com, an independent franchise analysis firm, has named Top Ten Percent number 1.

The rankings are determined by a number of criteria to include the types of industries served, how long the company has been in operation, total number of existing franchises, and most importantly, how the business concept is currently trending.

Top Ten Percent (TTP) provides consumers who own a smartphone or computer details of top-ranked local businesses nominated for inclusion by their own customers. Businesses that pass certain criteria then have the opportunity to be featured, enabling them to provide special digital coupons to the member consumer base.

"Top Ten Percent provides a three-way win," said Karen Scholz, the Emerald Coast's Top Ten Percent representative. "Consumers want instant information about top businesses right at their time of need. Today, with smartphones being the primary way people access information on-the-go, this platform is an easy way for consumers to get the information and discounts they want. Additionally, top small businesses in over 300 industry categories get in front of their target market when these consumers are looking for what the business provides."

When asked how it was a three-way win, Scholz went on to say that cooperative advertising was the answer. Any advertising that is done to create awareness about the platform itself provides exposure to all of the businesses featured. Therefore, the consumers, businesses and TTP all realize benefits.

Initially, the Emerald Coast's Top Ten Percent franchise has been focused on the Niceville area, but will expand through Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Crestview, Defuniak Springs, and eventually west through Pensacola. As this national franchise continues to grow, consumer members will be able to search for top businesses and their special digital coupons in any city in the US where Top Ten Percent is located.
