AlphaGraphics, the global print and marketing communications franchise opportunity, is expanding its innovative business model.
With low initial investment requirements, the company offers attractive franchise solutions for dynamic individuals with sales and marketing backgrounds, who are looking to be part of the fast growing visual communications market.
If you can manage others effectively, are customer focused and want to be rewarded on the basis of your own efforts, then an AlphaGraphics franchise may be the right opportunity for you.
THE CREDENTIALS
Established in 1970 in Tucson, USA, the AlphaGraphics network is comprised of nearly 300 business centres across the world. AlphaGraphics is committed to the highest quality standards and as a result is the only global visual communications franchisor to have attained ISO 9001 certification.
AlphaGraphics has a pedigree for growing successful businesses; in fact the average turnover of AlphaGraphics centres is over double the average turnover in the UK franchise print market. Recently, one of the UK’s AlphaGraphics centres achieved 1st rank in the entire global network making it possibly the biggest franchised print business in the world!
THE SERVICE
With a focus on quality and service, the AlphaGraphics digital centre’s core offering includes design and digital printing for promotional materials such as point of sale material, direct mail pieces, exhibition graphics and newsletters. Also offered are products such as training materials and operational documents.
As an AlphaGraphics franchisee you will work with people to plan, produce and manage visual communications, enabling customers to achieve their goals more effectively and confidently.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS – INCREASED MARKETING EFFECTIVENESS
New technologies enable the businesses to offer 'variable information' printing which makes it possible for each printed piece to be customised specifically for its recipient. Driven by the client’s database, the printed piece’s text and images can be varied for each individual contact. With this kind of technology, marketers have a powerful tool enabling them to tailor their marketing campaigns to appeal to their intended target: more appropriate message, more effective result.
Not only can this ‘variable’ printing make dramatic improvements in marketing effectiveness, it also makes sense as customers can print 'on demand', rather than printing thousands of items and being left with surplus stock. It’s really taking off, and it’s here to stay.
TERRITORIES
AlphaGraphics have territories available in most areas of the UK, as well as resale opportunities from time to time.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Franchise fee £24k. Personal investment required is £45k - with the total investment of £135k funded (includes the required working capital). Typically banks will lend on a ratio of two to one on our business model.
WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for ambitious candidates who have held senior sales and/or marketing positions and enjoy the challenge of leading and motivating their team.
AlphaGraphics’ digital centres have evolved from our intensive growth strategy which is set to take the UK network to 30 franchised units by 2010, and we’re well on track with 2 new franchisees opened in the last 4 months. This digital business model appeals to investors of all levels who have the drive and enthusiasm to build a profitable business based on technology, quality and customer service.
We’re set to grow…are you?
