1. Creative Financing –Financing trends are continuing to expand in 2016.  While some entrepreneurs are again looking for traditional loans from banks and credit unions,  many modern business men and women are looking for more creative ways, such as crowdfunding, angel investors and venture capitalist. 
2. Mobile Marketing – Mobile visitors will continue to have a huge impact on franchises, so smart franchisees are optimizing their websites for mobile devices. With the increase in smartphone and tablet usage, it is imperative that your business’s website can be easily seen via a smartphone’s browser. 
3. Online Retargeting - You may have noticed ads online that show products you recently searched for. Retargeting is the practice of displaying ads on popular websites, like Google and Facebook, to people who have already visited your website. Marketing that relates to what a customer is interested in is always more effective, and retargeting is taking the place of older online marketing practices like email newsletters.  
4. Multigenerational Partnerships – The trend of pairing baby boomers with younger millennials is leading to many successful partnerships within business.  The fresh, passionate and technological savvy millennial who is eager to completely ditch the corporate ladder is often the perfect counterpart to the baby boomer who wants to be their own boss and has the experience and financial stability to manage a business. 
5. International Selections - The internet has assisted in opening up a new global market. Consumers, especially located in developing markets, often see international brands as symbols of superior quality and status, unlike the more common, local domestic brands. International companies are utilizing this status and starting new companies abroad.
