Description
AlphaGraphics, the global print and marketing communications franchise, has boosted its expansion strategy with an innovative business model. The ‘digital centre’ model focuses on added value, technology based services. As a result, initial investment requirements are low, creating attractive franchise solutions for dynamic individuals with sales and marketing backgrounds, who are looking to be part of the fast growing visual communications market.

“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.” Jason Simpson, Managing Director, AlphaGraphics UK.

The majority of our franchisees come to AlphaGraphics with no prior experience in the printing industry. That's why our comprehensive training program takes you through every facet of the business.

The AlphaGraphics franchise scheme provides support and advice during every stage of the start-up process. Site selection is always a key decision. Once a suitable site has been agreed, we will arrange architects drawings and shopfitting quotes. Equipment and stock are installed and suitable staff recruited. New franchise training is arranged at US headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah. This last 4 weeks followed by two weeks of training in the UK at one of our stores, where valuable day to day operating experience will be gained.

During your first year of operation we will regularly appraise your business performance with you as your store develops. Marketing programmes and sales promotion schemes are available to help you increase market share and profits. Training courses are available from AlphaGraphics staff and independent trainers.

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.

Franchisees with diverse experience comprise our network with little in common other than the desire for entrepreneurial excellence, the willingness to make it happen for the financial rewards, and an interest in an intellectually challenging future.

Your own experience in working with other people is a primary consideration in becoming an AlphaGraphics franchisee. 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.
