Fresh Coat Painters Empowers Franchisees With Unmatched Support and Community

The national painting franchise offers a robust support system, including operational guidance, ongoing support, and specialized communication channels and educational platforms.

CINCINNATI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — For aspiring entrepreneurs, the decision to invest in a franchise often hinges on the support system provided by the franchisor. Fresh Coat Painters, a national painting franchise, stands out with its comprehensive and multifaceted approach to franchisee support, fostering a collaborative environment where business owners can thrive.

“Many people can open a business on their own,” said Jeffrey Deraway, vice president of operations and education. “But having the unique support of a franchisor and a franchise community is what makes Fresh Coat stand out. Currently, we have a combined hundreds of years of experience just on our leadership team, and franchisees get to lean on.”

Fresh Coat cultivates a strong sense of community among its franchisees, encouraging them to share their experiences, knowledge and challenges.

This collaborative spirit provides a safety net for new business owners who might otherwise face the uncertainties of entrepreneurship alone.

“Think of it as community support,” Deraway said. “You can go, you can get answers, you can get different ways to think about it.”

Comprehensive Resources and Tools
The support system begins well before launch, with a structured pre-launch process using a tool called Process Street. This step-by-step guide ensures franchisees meet critical milestones and are well-prepared for training.

Fresh Coat Academy, an online learning platform, provides a wealth of resources at franchisees’ fingertips.
“There are thousands of resources available, from articles and business forms to videos,” Deraway said. “I recently created about 50 videos on using our primary software, and it reinforced just how essential repetition is for mastery. We prioritize accessible learning, and providing this resource ensures our franchisees can practice and refine their skills anytime, anywhere.”

Personalized Coaching and Mentorship
Franchisees are not left to navigate the challenges of business ownership alone. They are assigned coaches who provide guidance and support through weekly calls and monthly milestones.

“As soon as a franchisee joins, they’re paired with a dedicated coach,” Deraway said. “First, they work with a ‘get-to-training’ coach who guides them through Process Street, assists with administrative tasks, and helps them access key resources. After training, they transition to an onboarding coach who supports them for three to six months, holding weekly calls to track launch progress or explore growth opportunities for those already in business. The journey continues with a Business Coach that works with you bi-weekly to continue to help you scale your business, grow your revenue and prioritize your profitability.”

This personalized approach ensures franchisees stay on track and have access to expert advice.

Open Communication and Collaboration
Fresh Coat fosters a culture of open communication and collaboration among its franchisees. Through group meetings and a dedicated platform called The Circle, franchisees can connect, share experiences, and seek advice from peers.

“We have multiple channels for communication,” Deraway said. “The Circle allows franchisees to ask questions, seek advice, and discuss challenges. Owners from across the country, with varying levels of experience, can share insights and offer solutions.”

Additionally, Fresh Coat’s Franchise Advisory Committee provides franchisees with a voice in shaping the system’s future. This collaborative approach ensures the franchisor remains responsive to the needs and concerns of its owners.

Beyond the Basics: Commercial Support and Strategic Partnerships
Fresh Coat’s support extends beyond the typical areas of marketing, operations and technology. A dedicated commercial department focuses on securing national accounts, providing franchisees with access to lucrative commercial painting projects.

The company also boasts a strategic partnership with Sherwin-Williams, offering franchisees access to advanced training, technical support and resources at the local level. This relationship not only enhances their professional development but also helps franchisees establish themselves in their local markets.

Continuous Learning and Development
Recognizing that learning is an ongoing process, Fresh Coat provides continuous training and development opportunities. Site Visits, webinars and a national convention keep franchisees up-to-date on industry trends and best practices.

The comprehensive support system at Fresh Coat is more than just a collection of resources; it’s a strategic framework designed to empower franchisees to build thriving businesses. By providing access to tools, training, a supportive community and ongoing development opportunities, Fresh Coat helps franchisees navigate the complexities of business ownership and achieve their goals.

Saledock Gives Celerant ONE Retailers One Place to Market, Message and Manage Every Customer Conversation

CES gives UK retailers a central marketing hub connected to live sales data.

KINGSTON UPON HULL, England, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Saledock, a Celerant company, today launched Customer Engagement Suite (CES) for Celerant ONE, giving UK retailers a central hub for email marketing, SMS, social media, reputation management and every customer conversation, from website live chat to WhatsApp messages.

Because CES connects in real time to Celerant ONE’s ePOS and eCommerce, retailers can automate targeted, personalised messages based on what customers do in-store and online, using the customer, sales, and product information already in their system.

Marketing That Knows What Your Customers Bought

Most independent retailers manage customer communication across a patchwork of tools: one for email, another for text messages, a social media scheduler, review sites, a WhatsApp inbox and a separate live chat on their website. None of those tools know what a customer bought last week, so campaigns stay generic and staff waste time exporting lists and copying product details between systems.

CES closes that gap. It sits inside Celerant ONE and draws directly on the data retailers already have, including customer records, in-store and online sales history, and product images and information. The result is marketing that reflects real buying behaviour, built and sent from the same platform the retailer uses to run the shop.

How It Works

Retailers can set up automated workflows triggered by what happens at the till or on their website, and get as creative as they like. A workflow might thank a customer after their first purchase, follow up with shoppers who bought a particular brand or category, or win back customers who haven’t visited in a while, by email or SMS. Once it’s set, it runs in the background.

For retailers who don’t want to build workflows from scratch, a built-in AI agent can create them, so even a small team can put automated marketing to work.

Building a campaign is faster too. Product images and descriptions come straight from Celerant ONE, so there’s no need to recreate content that already exists in the catalogue.

With CES, Celerant ONE retailers can:

Automate email and SMS campaigns based on in-store and online purchase activityLet the built-in AI agent build workflows for themAnswer website live chat and WhatsApp messages from a single inboxSchedule posts and engage with followers across Facebook, Instagram, and their other social channelsMonitor and respond to customer reviews to protect their reputationReduce the number of separate marketing and messaging tools they pay for and manage

“Retailers already own their most valuable marketing asset, which is their customer and sales data,” said Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant Technology. “The problem is that data usually sits in one system while their email, texts, reviews, and social media live somewhere else. CES puts all of it in one place and connects it to every sale, so a retailer can send a message that’s actually relevant to that customer without exporting a list or logging into a handful of different tools.”

“Running a shop leaves very little time for marketing, and jumping between different apps to do it doesn’t help,” said Layla Gladwin, Managing Director of Saledock. “With CES, everything a retailer needs to talk to their customers is inside Celerant ONE and connected to what’s happening at the till and online. Set up a workflow once, or let the AI agent build it for you, and it keeps working while you get on with serving customers.”

Availability

Customer Engagement Suite is available now as an optional add-on for Celerant ONE retailers. Existing Celerant ONE retailers can contact their Saledock account representative to get started. Retailers considering new ePOS and eCommerce software can request a Celerant ONE demonstration to see CES and the complete platform at [https://www.saledock.com/customer-enagagement-suite/]
