Success Attributed to Company's Acquisitions and Marketing Solutions Services
AlphaGraphics, Inc. - a print, graphics and marketing communications provider - reports that it experienced significant business growth in 2008 and continues to show positive results for this year. It reports that acquisition assistance programs have increased revenues and its business centers have provided attractive marketing services to help local businesses boost their results.
AlphaGraphics reports that it experienced total gross sales of over $300 million for fiscal year 2008. The average gross sales for an AlphaGraphics location open for one year or more is $1,108,585; the average gross for a location open for three years or more is $1,140,670, the company reports. In addition, Vice President of Global Development Art Coley says that this year, AlphaGraphics had the highest number of locations it has had in five years, with 265 centers worldwide. And, the number of new franchises grew more than 30 percent from last year.
"People joining AlphaGraphics are leaving corporations to have more control over their lives, to be their own bosses, and to be part of a successful network," Coley said. "Plus, we offer an acquisition assistance program that has helped current franchise owners acquire close to $10 million in revenues this year. The program helps franchisees identify and purchase other print facilities so that they can then be converted into the AlphaGraphics network."
The attraction towards AlphaGraphics' full-service marketing and communication services is also a contributing factor to the company's success, Coley says. "We're not just a print provider; we offer marketing solutions to businesses, including design, consultation, marketing strategy, targeted marketing with personalized URLs and more," Coley said. "Our centers also offer traditional printing services such as color, large format, offset and digital printing, as well as copying, finishing, binding and kitting."
Clare Meehan, owner of an AlphaGraphics business center in Pittsburgh, Pa., for example, attributes her eight years of double-digit sales growth to unique marketing and communication services, as well as to her aggressive sales department and strong graphics department, which position the location with top-notch marketing solutions for their customers.
