Adding Current Promotional Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

To stay current, Minuteman Press has become more of a marketing service provider<\/a> rather than a printing business.<\/p>\n

Nick Titus, the company\u2019s Chief Marketing Officer and the founder’s grandson, says \u201cMany clients want their logos on pens, mugs and other promotional products \u2013 a service Minuteman has embraced, as part of the company\u2019s evolution from printing to helping customers with overall brand development.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Jutt, executive vice president and director of training says, the common items such as shirts, USB \u201cthumb\u201d or \u201cjump\u201d drives, calculators, Koozies (bottle or can insulators) and candy are making room for newer items including flat LED flashlights, mints, and ear bud storage devices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of the addition of promotional products, we believe we stand a very good chance of growing our entire business over the next five years by 50 percent,\u201d Jutt says.<\/p>\n

Online Shopping Presence<\/strong><\/p>\n

The company solidified a supplier list of five or six companies and has marketed their promotional products by incorporating them onto a \u201cconsumer\u201d page at both the corporate website and individual store sites.<\/p>\n

Cross Media Application Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to printing, digital printing and promotional items, Minuteman Press can provide \u201ccross-media applications\u201d such as building simplified websites, producing movies and posting them to video hosting sites like YouTube or designing rolling PowerPoint presentations that clients can loop on TV monitors.<\/p>\n

Titus says the changes the digital print technology has brought about have helped Minuteman Press franchisees extensively because they can do more work with less overhead and staff.<\/p>\n

Targeted Direct Mail Programs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minuteman Press also works with the U.S. Postal Service\u2019s \u201cEvery Door Direct Mail\u201d program, which allows businesses to target (or micro-target) potential customers in a given neighborhood or ZIP code with up to 5,000 pieces per day.<\/p>\n

Award Winning Franchise<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minuteman Press International was rated the #1 Printing Franchise in the printing industry by Entrepreneur Magazine in January, 2014. Impressively, this is the 22nd<\/sup> time overall they have achieved this ranking.<\/p>\n
