  2. When a new franchise is opened, the Edible Arrangements headquarters offers a two week on site training as well as a one week web-based training using NXSTEP. Other training courses are offered, but the internet based training is the most cost effective.
    Other forms of technology used with new franchise owners are web-based resources and internet based meetings in real time.

  3. In addition to the technology mentioned above by Michael and Candace, Edible Arrangements aggressively uses social networking to market and sell their products and franchises. Currently you can find Edible Arrangements on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, and Pinterest. These social networking sites allow viewers to not only see the company’s various products but also share the company’s “happiness” through “word of networking”.
