It is the licensor’s responsibility to ensure that they provide the licensee with the information they need to be successful. With over 30 years in the business, I can tell you that conducting a formal orientation with a particular emphasis on the approval process is critical to the success of a long-lasting licensing program.
You wouldn’t build a house without a blueprint yet every year I see brand extensions built without one. There are significant pitfalls to licensing and if you don’t develop a plan to address all of them you are doomed to failure.
