Fully Promoted concluded its 25th year with notable systemwide sales growth, international development, and increased franchise activity. The company reported a year-over-year increase in global systemwide sales, driven by 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 locations in Canada and Mexico. Fully Promoted also established three new master franchise partnerships with Deepika Suresh Kumar in India, Prakash Inani in Ireland, and Aldaric Ndeffo in Cameroon, extending the brand's presence across Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Several franchise locations achieved significant sales milestones during the year. Fully Promoted Cleveland East and Fully Promoted Cleveland West in Ohio, along with Fully Promoted Grand Rapids in Michigan, surpassed $1 million in annual sales for the first time. Meanwhile, 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 company noted that younger professionals increasingly hold purchasing authority, influencing both preferences and buying behavior. This has fueled a shift toward premium, longer-lasting products in areas such as onboarding, recognition programs, and corporate gifting. According to Titus, the conversation has been shifting from transactions to impact and outcomes, which aligns with the company's business model. 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, building on his role of streamlining digital and technological efficiencies and refining 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 comes as many distributors navigated a more challenging environment driven 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 its strategic focus on value creation over commoditized transactions. The company is part of the United Franchise Group family of affiliated brands and consultants, giving franchise owners access to a global network and more than three decades of franchising experience.
