Opportunity

Our products: The personalization industry is broad. Very broad. Our franchises offer several different techniques to personalize items (embroidery, vinyl, heat vinyl, sublimation, and laser engraving) and based upon demand, the franchises can add other equipment to offer additional products. The products that can be made with the equipment cover most items. Embroidery: hats, shirts, quilts, bags, etc. Vinyl: wine glasses, jewelry, car decals, etc. Heat vinyl: pillows, flags, etc. Sublimation: license plates, phone cases, etc. Laser Engraving: Cutting Boards, Stainless Steel Water Bottles, etc. Most items sell for an average of $35-$45.

Our market: Our model is designed for fast turnaround with most items delivered within one to two hours from when they are purchased. Customers love to buy something personalized and with fast turnaround makes it even better. People are more likely to spend if they know that they can bring their items home after a short time.

Our store: Having a storefront is a tremendous asset in this industry. Although the internet provides a huge customer base, consumers love to actually see and feel the quality of the products, the sizes, and the colors all while being able to obtain their personalized item the same day. One of the advantages that Presents of Mine has over other similar online stores is our brand name recognition. We offer name­ brand, quality products that other online retailers do not.

Advantages of franchising: Besides the normal advantages that all franchise systems have – proven systems, training and support programs, purchasing power, branding and more – there are additional advantages in this industry. With the sharing of new designs and patterns, discoveries of new techniques, and the sharing of new hot trends, there is a wealth of information and ideas at your fingertips instead of wasting time and energy looking for that next new pattern.

• Proven System: You begin ahead of the learning curve.
• Training and Support: No need to figure everything out for yourself.
• Purchasing Power and Relationships: Start right away with relationships of suppliers and lower pricing.
• Marketing and Branding: Have access to already developed brand name, materials, ads, etc., and as more franchises come in the system there will be multiple new ideas and materials.
