The majority of our owners didn't have prior industry experience, and many have not owned a business before. Our owners will focus their efforts on managing & marketing their business, not doing the production work. We've developed a detailed two week training program conducted by our professional training staff, some of whom were with Minuteman Press since its beginning. In training we assume two items, you don't have any previous background in printing and you've never run your own business before.
Our school covers all aspects of our business model from marketing to pricing and management. We have also developed proprietary business management, pricing & marketing software that is one of the best in the industry. It makes operating a Minuteman Press center simpler and much more efficient. This user-friendly software, called FLEX, lets you monitor all your marketing campaigns, customer spending habits, workflow, pricing and more.
After the training program is completed and the renovations to your location are finished, your local support team will work with you and continue your training on-site. This will help reinforce and implement what you've learned and help get your business up and running.
- Once renovations are completed, we will assist in the set-up of your location.
- We will help install and implement the work flow systems.
- We will assist you in finding both of your staff members.
- Both national and local vendors will be set up for purchasing products and supplies.
- We will start your marketing programs with you and show you how they work.
We chose to franchise with Minuteman Press because they are highly ranked in the printing industry and have a proven track record of success. We were very impressed with the ongoing training and support and the ability to have a local field representative assist us as we grow our business.
