Ongoing Support

The primary responsibility of every franchisor should be to support their owners in developing a successful franchise. Minuteman Press has been doing just that for over 45 years. We are consistently using our power in numbers to obtain more mass purchasing power, assist in lowering costs for our owners, and continually developing and improving our programs.

 

How do we support our owners?


 

✔ Local Support
Something that makes Minuteman Press very unique in franchising is the continuing local support that we provide to our owners. We have established one of the largest support teams in franchising. Setting up regional offices strategically located across the United States. Each one of our regional offices is staffed with a Regional Vice President and field staff to assist our owners on a local level. Their goal is to provide assistance in virtually all aspects of running a successful business and show our owners how to build their franchise. We believe in building a relationship with our owners and our local support team is always available to offer advice and lend a helping hand. Our goal is to make you as successful as possible, as quickly as possible, and to strive to work together with you to grow your business.

✔ In-house IT Support
Our corporate headquarters has in-house staff to provide our owners with support for our management software. They provide assistance & guidance for our websites, our Internet marketing campaigns, file backup systems and more. In addition, they evaluate feedback from owners to improve and update our proprietary management & marketing software.
 
 

✔ Choice Vendors & Mass Purchasing Power

We continue to research suppliers to find the best vendors for our locations. Because of our system size with nearly 1,000 locations, we are able to use our mass purchasing power to negotiate some of the best discounts and rebates available from industry leaders. Unlike most franchises, you are not required to utilize our suppliers or purchase products through our vendors.

✔ Talk Minuteman
Talk Minuteman is our online social platform where owners can seek our advice and help from other owners as well as corporate office support staff on topics like computers & software, equipment, vendors, staffing, best practices and more.

✔ Research & Development

Our research and development staff attends all major industry expos and trade shows and keeps our owners up to date. They continue to advise our owners on industry trends, equipment updates and vendors. This enables our owners to focus their time and effort on running their business and saves them from the expenses associated with continuously attending these events.

 
 

✔ World Expo & Regional Meetings

Every two years we have the Minuteman Press International World Expo. This is a 4-day business event specifically for our owners that features guest speakers and seminars on everything from management & marketing to customer service and employee management. There is also a vendor show, which over 100 companies attend. This gives our owners the chance to meet their suppliers, find new products or services & learn about industry trends. We also conduct regional meetings with the owners in their local markets.

Testimonial

The support from Minuteman Press has been exceptional.  The training was very comprehensive, and we felt like we were well-prepared for starting up and getting straight to work.  We also know exactly who to call when we have a question or issue to manage.  The network of Minuteman Press is amazing in the way that everyone is there for you at any time and in any capacity that you need. The expertise of the training and the continual mentoring are the powerful tools we need to succeed.
