December 21, 2008 - It’s time to tighten those purse strings and save money where you can but it’s equally as important to maintain a strong brand image to attract new franchisees and increase overall sales.

One of the best ways to cut costs is to use specialist suppliers who can offer competitive prices to you and your franchisees. With this in mind the Howarth Franchising Group has launched an exciting new division, the Franchise Print Centre. The Centre is managed and run by a group of professional trade printers who already have vast experience within the franchise industry.

Brian Duckett, Chairman of the Howarth Franchising Group, explains: “We are always looking for ways to help franchisors and the Franchise Print Centre offers exceptionally low print prices, easy online ordering and a facility to edit and personalise every document. It means franchisors and franchisees can order cost-effective printing in just a matter of minutes.“

Ian Mason, who helps manage the print process, continues: “For franchisors, it’s crucial to have complete control over branding and image. Using the very latest web technology we are able to offer online templates & proofs pre-agreed by the franchisor so that all their franchisees’ marketing material fit with the corporate identity. This, coupled with extremely competitive trade print prices, means we can provide an exceptional service with fast delivery times direct to any UK address.”
