With new stores opening at a rate of three or four each month, Instant Imprints offers rewarding franchise opportunities to independent-minded entrepreneurs who want to start and operate their own business. Instant Imprints-the first company to combine five multi-billion dollar imprinting industries into one retail business-has over 60 franchises across the U.S. either open or under development, with plans to expand franchising opportunities around the world.

In the three years since Instant Imprints opened its first franchise, the San Diego-based company has established a strong business presence in major markets in 13 states. Instant Imprints offers a unique opportunity for business-minded people to enter the $50 billion imprinted apparel and promotional products industry.
A pioneer in one-stop shopping, Instant Imprints combines embroidery, screen-printing, banners, signs, and heat transfers into one business that caters to both corporate and consumer markets. Products range from personalized gifts such as embroidered baby blankets, photo t-shirts and mugs to screen-printed shirts for sports teams and 1,000+ orders for businesses.

"We are offering exclusive franchise territories across the U.S.," says Leo Kats, president of Instant Imprints. "And we are looking for interested franchise owners in Canada, Central America, and Western Europe."

"Over the past 14 years," says Kats, "Instant Imprints has expanded its products and services to offer the widest selection of wearables and premium promotional items in the industry. Our unique showrooms and turn-key production facilities are duplicated in every Instant Imprints franchise, giving local owners the opportunity for immediate sales."

Kats stresses that exclusive franchise territories offer a customer base that is virtually limitless. "Nearly every company, school, organization, sports team and a growing number of individual consumers buy and use our services and products every day. Overall, our industry has not seen a significant decline," says Kats.

Instant Imprints offers each new franchise owner two weeks of comprehensive training by experienced staff, including all aspects of production, business management, sales and marketing, hiring, and sourcing. The company also provides one week of additional on-site training to assist with opening and marketing.

Ongoing support for Instant Imprints franchises is just a toll-free phone call or e-mail away. Regular newsletters, meetings, and field evaluations are also part of the support network. Instant Imprints also provides ready-to-use marketing and advertising materials, preferred pricing on equipment and supplies, and much more.
A professionally designed showroom that gives customers the opportunity to browse and touch the merchandise is included in each franchise package. Complete production facilities are designed to fit each location. "We are determined to be the number one brand in our industry," says Kats. "Just as Kinko's has been able to dominate its market, and McDonald's and Subway prosper in just about every location they open, we expect to do the same in the imprinted specialty industry."
