FULLY PROMOTED - Franchise

Fully Promoted is a leading global franchise in the branded apparel and promotional products industry.

Our franchise owners work with businesses and organizations of every size to create branded solutions that help them attract customers, engage employees, recognize achievement, promote events and strengthen their brands.  But Fully Promoted is about much more than putting a logo on a product. Our owners become trusted promotional partners to their customers—helping them find the right apparel, promotional products, uniforms, corporate gifts, awards, event merchandise and branded programs for their needs.

That consultative approach creates something every business owner wants: long-term B2B relationships and repeat business.

B2B Business Built Around Relationships

Fully Promoted franchise owners aren’t simply waiting for customers to walk through the door. They are building relationships within their communities.  A single customer relationship might begin with embroidered polos and grow into employee uniforms, new-hire kits, tradeshow giveaways, recognition programs, corporate gifts, event merchandise or a private online company store.

That is the power of the Fully Promoted model.

Our owners have access to thousands of products and an extensive network of suppliers, allowing them to solve a wide range of customer needs without carrying large amounts of inventory.

Build the Business That Fits You

There isn’t just one way to operate a successful Fully Promoted business. Some owners build businesses centered around a professional showroom and consultative sales while utilizing our supplier network for production and fulfillment. Others develop substantial in-house decoration capabilities including embroidery, heat printing and other production methods.  As their businesses grow, owners can build sales teams, expand production capabilities and develop larger local, regional and even national accounts.

The goal isn’t simply to own a shop. It’s to build a scalable B2B sales organization.

You Don’t Need Industry Experience

Some of our strongest owners came to Fully Promoted without experience in promotional products, apparel decoration or printing. What matters more is the desire to build relationships, develop customers, lead a business and follow a proven system.  Our training introduces new owners to the products, suppliers, technology, sales processes and operating systems they’ll need to launch their business. Support continues after opening through business advisors, ongoing education, peer relationships, vendor resources and systemwide events.

Who Makes a Strong Fully Promoted Owner?

There isn’t one perfect background. We look for entrepreneurs who are comfortable meeting people, developing relationships and asking for business. Strong candidates are interested in sales and business development, willing to be active in their communities, able to lead people as the business grows and excited about building something larger than a job for themselves.

You don’t have to know how to embroider a shirt. You do need to want to build a business.

From Local Relationships to Significant Accounts

Fully Promoted businesses can start with relatively simple orders and develop those relationships into much larger opportunities. A local business may need uniforms. A university may need thousands of welcome items for incoming students. A healthcare organization may need an employee recognition program. A corporation may want an online store serving employees across multiple locations.

Different customers. Different products.

The common denominator is a Fully Promoted owner who understands the customer’s need, develops the solution and earns the relationship.

Training & Support

We firmly believe that if you have a sound business model and plan, you’ll succeed as a franchisee. That’s why we put utmost importance on supporting our franchisees in every way we can, from providing initial information to ongoing resources after the location is open. Our franchisees own their own business but will never be alone throughout their franchising journey.

Initial Training

The initial training that franchisees receive is a key indicator in how successful they can be. All Fully Promoted franchisees will receive our four-week training process to show them our proven systems and processes, as well as provide guidelines and tips for achieving the highest level of franchising success. Our four-week training program features specialized phases, including:

• A hybrid two-week introductory training program. Franchisees will learn the business in terms of sales, advertising, marketing, bookkeeping, scheduling, and more.
• After the initial two-week training, franchisees will receive an additional two weeks of training at their location. Our operations and marketing experts will advise and assist franchisees with setting up their location, as well as how to implement Fully Promoted’s proven marketing program.

Start-Up Support

Our experts will help you during all aspects of the startup process, such as selecting your new location. In fact, while you’re at your initial training at our corporate headquarters, we’ll be hard at work helping to set up your location for its launch. We provide start-up support that includes:

• Demographic studies to choose the best possible location
• Lease negotiations
• Location design and setup
• Actionable recommendations to keep your location running at its best

Ongoing Support

Fully Promoted’s support doesn’t stop after training is over and your office is up and running. We’ve developed a top-notch ongoing support program that’s dedicated to helping you succeed in the marketing industry. As a Fully Promoted franchisee, you’ll have access to ongoing support programs including:

• Regional meeting & training sessions
• Regional support staff
• Franchise owner conventions
• Technical assistance
• Franchisee mentor program
