## Story

Frank and Melissa were recently welcomed into the Minuteman Press International President’s Club as new members for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2023. They also purchased their second location in Dayton in December of 2023.

Minuteman Press franchise owner Frank Hit accepted the President’s Club Award from Nick Titus, President, Minuteman Press International, at the franchisor’s annual President’s Club Outing.

“It means a lot to us to achieve this milestone considering the history of our location. We’re proud to have had a smooth transition and continued our service at a high level.”

“Most recently, our keys to growth and success have been in maintaining a strong reputation within our market area. We’ve also had success in growing via the acquisition of our long-time direct mail processor.”

“Our largest area of growth has been in mailing. A lot of printed products are also mailed, and to be able to pair the two services together is valuable for our customers.”

“We are members of 5 local chambers of commerce, our county progress council, and our city’s Rotary Club. We have a tight knit community throughout our county, and being an active member is important to maintaining the relationships that drive orders and referrals.”

Frank shares, “My background is automotive manufacturing, and Melissa’s background is in marketing and product management. We decided to purchase a Minuteman Press based on the collaborative relationship between the home office and franchises, and we also felt strongly about the future of printing.”

“Minuteman Press has been very supportive with training and local support. We have a great relationship with our field rep, Ryan McIntyre, and he works hard to help us when we need it. We’ve also been impressed with home office support regarding FLEX.”

“It’s been extremely rewarding to own our business. It’s a great accomplishment professionally, and personally it has allowed us to spend more time with our family and to have ultimate flexibility of our schedules.”

“Be active in the community, provide outstanding customer service, and promote additional products and services that make sense for your clients.”

Minuteman Press is the world's largest & number 1 rated printing & marketing franchise. Our business model features multiple revenue streams, a high repeat business factor, normal hours of operation, a royalty cap and much more!
