Introduction

SaniGLAZE has been making waves in facilities management since 1995 with an ingenious solution for hard surface and tile restoration. With state-of-the-art technology and processes, SaniGLAZE makes floors look new again without all the hassle and expense of full-scale replacement.

SaniGLAZE has partnered with Station Four (S4) on digital strategy for X years, covering marketing efforts (traditional and digital), the migration of SaniGLAZE.com to the Hubspot CMS platform, and most recently the design of the SaniGLAZE Franchise website.

The Challenge

SaniGLAZE serves two different purposes with its digital efforts. First, SaniGLAZE educates facility managers on the benefit of their innovative tile and hard surface solution that requires less time and a lower price than replacement. The seven processes serve markets from healthcare to education. 

Secondly, SaniGLAZE is growing its fractional franchise program with franchisees throughout North America. Training and developing these relationships allows SaniGLAZE to expand its reach to serve facility managers with a cost-effective alternative.

The Build

SaniGLAZE has two websites serving the two needs. SaniGLAZE.com serves as an educational resource for facility managers, including process breakdowns, market features, blog posts, and the history of the company. This website serves as a lead generator for the franchisees. Franchise.SaniGLAZE.com features resources for potential franchisees. This page provides additional details on what it means to be a fractional franchisee and how it can benefit someone who is currently in the space. 

Both websites use the HubSpot CMS platform, allowing all the information to be shared across one CRM. Workflows have been created to keep things organized and assign leads accordingly.
