Fully Promoted, a global branded apparel and promotional products franchise, concluded its 25th year with notable systemwide sales growth, international development, and increased franchise activity. The company reported an increase in global systemwide sales year-over-year, attributed to higher-value orders and expanding enterprise relationships across key industry verticals.
In 2025, the company signed 57 new franchise agreements and launched 34 new locations worldwide, including 20 in the United States, 12 in Australia, and one each in Canada and Mexico. The brand extended its global reach by welcoming three new master franchise partners: Deepika Suresh Kumar in India, Prakash Inani in Ireland, and Aldaric Ndeffo in Cameroon, establishing a presence across Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Several franchise owners achieved significant sales milestones, with Fully Promoted Cleveland East, Fully Promoted Cleveland West in Ohio, and Fully Promoted Grand Rapids in Michigan surpassing $1 million in annual sales for the first time. Additionally, Fully Promoted of Southern New Hampshire in Bedford and Fully Promoted Albuquerque in New Mexico exceeded $2 million in annual sales.
"Our franchisees delivered exceptional work this year, and it's creating real momentum across our system," said Andrew Titus, President of Fully Promoted. "Businesses are thinking differently about branded merchandise; it's not just about swag or giveaways but about selecting the right product for the right audience to influence engagement, retention, or loyalty. The conversation has been shifting from transactions to impact and outcomes, and that's where our model thrives."
The company notes that younger professionals increasingly hold purchasing authority, influencing both preferences and buying behavior. This demographic shift has fueled demand for premium, longer-lasting products in areas such as employee onboarding, recognition programs, and corporate gifting. To support continued network growth, Fully Promoted added two new team members: Nick Machemehl as Business Advisor and Heidy Llorens as Marketing & Technology Coordinator. The company also elevated Tyler Sherwood to Director of Marketing & Technology, focusing on streamlining digital efficiencies and processes that optimize customer loyalty and franchisee profitability.
"The foundation of Fully Promoted has always centered around supporting franchisees in a growing and evolving category," said Ray Titus, Chairman and CEO of United Franchise Group. "What we saw in 2025 reinforces that our franchise system is positioned for the next phase of expansion. The demand for more thoughtful branded merchandise is rising, and Fully Promoted is meeting that demand through a modern, consultative approach that resonates with today's buyers."
Fully Promoted's performance is particularly significant as many distributors navigated a challenging environment in 2025, characterized by macroeconomic pressures, shifting purchasing cycles, and tariff-related cost fluctuations. The brand's ability to grow during this period reflects both its franchise model and strategic focus on value creation over commoditized transactions. The company is part of the United Franchise Group family of affiliated brands, providing franchise owners access to a global network and over three decades of franchising experience.
