MIDDLE RIVER, Md. – Image360, a franchise concept that serves the $49 billion-dollar sign and graphics industry, announced today its plans for an aggressive franchise initiative that will take the brand to new markets in the United States and Canada.
Since its launch in 2013, Image360 has made a name for itself as the industry’s first total visual communications solutions provider with hundreds of locations across North America. The brand aims to launch 25 new centers annually, with prime markets available in both the U.S. and Canada.
“At Image360, we’ve set the bar high in the sign and graphics industry by continuously exceeding the expectation of our customers, and now is the time to bring that same level of commitment and quality to new corners across North America,” said Mike Cline, vice president of franchise development. “Our franchise opportunity offers entrepreneurs not only the ability to take control of their careers in an industry that has endless revenue opportunities, but also to leverage our resources and support to expand their businesses.”
Image360 offers prospective franchise members three avenues to ownership: new ownership, conversion of an independent existing signage business to an Image360 center, or the addition of an Image360 center to a print or any other industry-related business to expand service offerings. Each option is specifically tailored to allow qualified entrepreneurs to enter a stable, steadily growing industry with a business-focused concept that provides a favorable work-life balance and the ability to make a true impact on clients. And, the brand is equipped with a thorough franchise support structure, complete with training, operations, marketing and technology systems for its franchise members.
The ideal Image360 franchise owner is someone who can manage staff and build a client list, exhibits a keen balance of sales and operations and understands the business value of marketing and networking. Additionally, the individual recognizes the importance of following a proven system, is motivated by the potential in the sign and graphics industry and understands the advantage of working with a process. No previous experience in signage or business is required to become an Image360 franchise member.
