Long ago Ghostbusters Inc. and Ghostbusters International® use to hold franchise seminars. I'm sure they were pretty serious with the exception of how Dr. Venkman and Louis "conned," er convinced the right people (we hope) to start a franchise. After the seminars became somewhat less serious, (from what I've heard as "urban legend") the guys had the forsight to market the idea of franchises to more people then they ever could hope to in a lifetime. No, not by putting the franchise seminar on the internet, but by extending licensing agreements and helping business partner, Universal Studios revamp The Spooktacular. Many of Ghostbusters International® employees today have never been able to visit the second Spooktacular, including myself.
I've always wanted to see the "franchise seminar" show and since last year have wished for a copy to share with our employees, clients, and fans. I still don't have a copy to upload, at least not yet. (*edit* I have a copy, would like to convert it to something besides flash video. Plus I would like to get permission to host the video.) Thanks to Dr Beaudoin and You Tube, you can see the franchise seminar Spooktacular
here. We hope in the future to offer this excellent video through our site.
