We then recommend appropriate franchise concepts for them to investigate, and coach them through the research and decision process. We are solely focused on getting the client what they desire, with affordability and safety. FranNet is the ONLY group of franchise consultants who operate exclusively in their own protected territories, uniquely qualifying us to serve the people of our communities.

FlockTAG puts THE BIG in Small Business by helping local businesses know and grow their customer base. FlockTAG has created a mobile marketing and loyalty platform that helps restaurants and cafés better compete with big chains by offering a more desirable solution to attract new customers and earn more from existing patrons.

FlockTAG has uniquely combined the benefits of a high-tech universal loyalty card, plus personalized deals delivered through a mobile app, to create the first truly collaborative neighborhood network that grows local businesses. FlockTAG is a universal program that consolidates multiple loyalty programs and eliminates the need to carry an individual loyalty card for each business you frequent.

David Lin (the owner of Bubble Island) and tech entrepreneur, Adrian Fortino, created FlockTAG in 2011 to help alleviate the sizable disadvantage that small businesses have compared to large chains.

FlockTAG is a rapidly growing Ann Arbor based start-up now operating in 6 Midwest cities and was recently featured in a Forbes magazine article among other Detroit area tech startups that are helping to create an innovation center in southeastern Michigan.
