Allegra offers a way for independent print shop and small business owners to join a strong, proven franchise brand.
If you own a local print shop, it can be a challenge to stay profitable. Allegra, however, offers programs to help you convert your existing print business into an Allegra Center so you can take advantage of our proven business model and support programs.
The Allegra Advantage
It’s a great way to reinvigorate your business growth if you’ve been stagnant – or even losing ground. Our Allegra Advantage Program recognizes that you already have an established customer base and experience serving your community. We let you decide whether to retain your existing staff, and we can provide consultative support if you hire new team members.
The Allegra Advantage Program is also a smart way to build equity in your business as you plan your retirement or exit, with terms as few as five years. Our experienced mergers and acquisitions representatives work with many independent printers to help them sell their businesses, and then they help the new owners succeed. They can do the same for local print shop owners who wish to stay around, whether for a long time or a short while.
More Services, Better Systems
One of the biggest advantages of owning an Allegra Marketing Print Mail Center is the multiple ways we can help you achieve the success you’ve always dreamed of. Our entire company is built on helping business owners succeed, so we have established and honed the perfect business systems over the years.
We can help you ramp up your service offerings to include direct mail, marketing, promotional products and/or wide-format printing. If you’re already offering these services, we have technology, tools and systems that will help you refine your service line and reach the most affluent demographic in need of your business.
From Independence To Freedom and Flexibility
A better-run business is all it really takes to convince most local print shop owners that joining an established franchise is the way to go.
“Being part of Alliance Franchise Brands, the parent company of Allegra, has given me immediate access to more than 200 industry vendors or partners – which is much greater access than I ever had as an independent printer,” says Eugene Montanez, who owns an Allegra Center in Corona, CA. “This allows me the opportunity to offer a much wider variety of services and at competitive prices, too, while maintaining a significant margin.”
We have experts to help you assess your business, put a plan in place, diversify your service offerings to capture a broader customer base, utilize our updated technology, and leverage our world-class marketing expertise.
Yes, we have a business blueprint for you to follow, but you’re still your own boss. We’re interested in helping you reach your full potential as a printing business owner, because your success equals our success.
