What is a Franchise Kit?
Franchise kits are essentially franchisee start-up materials in a box
The franchisors who sell certain rights of their business third party franchisees, often mandate that franchisees use an approved franchise kit.
Generally, items in these kits include training and marketing materials. Items often include training manuals, business cards, flyers, and displays.
Franchise Kit Printing
When you order a custom franchise kit from a printing company, you will receive a group of products that will help market and promote your business. However, it’s important you find the right printing company to create and ship your franchise kit.
Why?
You need a printing expert who can create every product you need, ship the entire kit when promised, and give you the highest quality at the best price. Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy finding a franchise kit printing company with amazing service.
For example, perhaps you already have a web to print deal you’re not happy with. They are late on delivery, items seem to be different than what you ordered or missing completely, and the service isn’t what you expected. Unfortunately, many franchise printing companies don’t offer the best quality. That’s why it’s vital you partner with a printing company that can offer you the best!
On the other hand, perhaps your company’s home office has been putting kits together, sitting at a copier all day and sending the kits out to the different locations. That’s a lot of work that requires time and energy that could be spent in other ways.
Let’s take a look at some examples of what you can include in your franchise kits and where you can print them.
