Stop franchise sales brochures after an inquiry
If a franchisor keeps mailing brochures after your inquiry, write to its franchise development contact and ask it to stop printed recruitment materials. State that the request is about marketing mail only and does not change any agreement or payment.
Close the inquiry in writing
- Find the franchise name and your inquiry date or reference number on the latest brochure or email.
- Check whether you signed anything with the franchisor, such as a confidentiality agreement or a deposit receipt. Those documents have their own terms and stay outside this request.
- Confirm the development or recruitment contact through the company's official website instead of relying on the brochure.
- Ask to stop printed recruitment materials and say whether your interest has ended or paused.
- Keep a copy of the wording and the date you sent it.
Marketing mail versus the deal itself
Asking a franchisor to stop brochures does not withdraw an application, return a deposit or release you from a signed document, so do not word it as though it does. Questions about those terms belong with the document and the person who gave it to you.
If a mailer asks for payment or looks like an invoice, compare it with records of what you actually approved before doing anything with it.

Choose between a pause and a stop
If you might revisit this franchise, ask only to pause printed brochures and say which contact method you still accept. If you are finished, say that. When the next piece arrives, compare it with your saved wording and send one short follow-up quoting your original request and date.
