FASTSIGNS®: Design your future with signs & graphics
Starting a business of your own is an important decision that will affect you and your family for many years to come. We fully appreciate the importance of this decision and we encourage you to weigh all your options carefully. Our corporate staff is committed to helping you get all the information you need as you evaluate the FASTSIGNS®franchise and determine whether it's the right match for you.
At FASTSIGNS®, we understand that your success is our success. Our primary goal is to help our franchisees build successful stores that achieve and maintain high sales volumes and maximum profits, year after year. As a FASTSIGNS® franchisee, you'll have the benefit of one of the most respected names in the sign business and in franchising as a whole. Additionally, you'll have the support of the industry's most thoroughly researched and proven systems for operations, marketing, finance and overall business management.
Unlike many franchisers who derive profit not only from their royalty base but also from the sale of equipment and supplies to their franchisees, we depend solely on the royalties from FASTSIGNS® stores for our corporate revenue stream. When you succeed, we succeed.
As a FASTSIGNS® franchisee, you'll have our direct and active support from the very beginning:
Professional expertise to guide you through the site selection and build-out process
Four weeks of intensive training on business components
On-site support and guidance during your store's Grand Opening
Active, ongoing personal support in every aspect of your business
The FASTSIGNS® Franchise Opportunity
FASTSIGNS® uses a computer-aided sign-making system to create effective, high-impact signs and graphics. Our experts can choose from a library of typestyles and graphic elements to create unique designs or use digital technology to precisely reproduce a customer's own artwork.
FASTSIGNS® centers have instant access to a library of thousands of company logos - many times we are able to tell new customers that we already have their logos in our system. In addition to the endless variety of signs and graphics made on premises, FASTSIGNS® stores often subcontract services through selected specialty sign manufacturers. The franchisor facilitates this process by pre-qualifying suppliers and providing detailed guidance in how to work with them effectively. Operating a FASTSIGNS® store is not only interesting and challenging, it's a different experience every day.
In addition to the endless variety of signs and graphics made on the premises, FASTSIGNS® stores often support their customers' other graphic needs, including subcontracting services through selected specialty sign manufacturers. The franchisor facilitates this process by pre-qualifying suppliers and providing detailed guidance in how to work with them effectively. Operating a FASTSIGNS® store is creative, interesting and challenging...and different every day.
When we introduced the quick-sign concept in 1985, we believed that the opportunities were endless. The first FASTSIGNS® store opened its doors that summer and quickly exceeded all expectations.
Since then, we've continued to refine the FASTSIGNS® concept by optimizing our systems and expanding the scope of our products and services by adding full-color digital printing (inkjet, and EDGE outputs), safety and identification products and trade show displays and graphics. Today, FASTSIGNS® is the acknowledged leader in one of the world's most dynamic franchised industries with a growing store network that spans the globe. Virtually every authority in franchising, and in the sign and graphics industry, has confirmed our leadership position.
We believe the most important factor in our success is the fact that we treat our franchisees as strategic business partners. We are absolutely committed to giving them every possible competitive advantage.
