I chose EmbroidMe because I liked the concept of the franchise. The way that they have it set up, the support system. We looked at several franchises and everything that we found through EmbroidMe and UFG just fit us perfectly.

I purchased EmbroidMe store. I like the idea of franchising. Doing a little bit of background and history and looking things up, I realized that franchising is really where it's supposed to be.

Work the plan. If you have a good plan and work it, you have success. If you don't have a plan, you plan to fail. If you have a plan and don't use it, you might as well not have the plan. It's no different than the person who knows how to read and never does. So if you have a plan, you've got to work it and that's my takeaway: that I have to be disciplined, my staff has to be disciplined. And we want to build a business, not just have a job or something to do eight hours a day that's really remarkable in our market.

I'd say it's just the way they teach you how to how to succeed. Just the plan that they have, they've researched it a long time and that it's going to work. I came here with a different mindset of how I was going to run the business. But when I left here, it's not the same as what I came in with. It changed around completely.

Learning what the embroidery industry is all about, learning the marketing concept, how you stick to the plan, it's gonna work for you. They really drive that home and so, you are really set up for success.

But it was the financial end that I was a little bit worried about because I don't have a background in accounting or financing or anything like that. And the way everything had been explained to me, it was very I took it in very easily and I was able to use my my math skills to really apply to what we do on a daily basis.

EmbroidMe explains the $10 Million Lending Program.

Jill and I both came out of the restaurant hospitality business. I pretty much came out of college to do that, worked for a number of different companies. I ended up at Perkins in Minnesota as the general manager and it was one of them companies that was really good to work for. But, you get tired of the 24 hour 365 day a year situation that you're in when you're in family restaurants like that.

So, we started looking for opportunities and that's when we opened up a housekeeping business at that time. We started with one account and she thought I was crazy. I left my general manager position with the company car and started one account and we ended up about six years into it doing a half million dollars in business. Great business. Enjoyed it, but it was it was a lot of work. It was high-pressure. You always worried about liabilities. We had a niche market because we were in the high-end housekeeping, so most of the houses that we were working in were mansions, millionaires. So it was kinda cool, you met a lot of really cool people. But after ten years, I was getting to the point where I was done.

So, I wanted to get into a business that I really could enjoy. So, a friend of mine and I went to the Chicago expo and we were just looking around basically and we were approached by EmbroidMe. And I came back in town and told Jill I found a business for her to get into.

And I told him it was a franchise and he's insane. Because I was born and raised in the franchise business and it wasn't anything like what EmbroidMe offers. They did not lead my dad in a good path and so therefore I just didn't believe in franchises until I went down to discovery days. And I sat down with people and talked to them there and then Ray finally told everything what we could and couldn't have with it. And I was like if you can do everything that you just told me, I'll sign today. I mean, they have supported and backed up pretty much everything that they said they can do. So, it's been pretty amazing. It's been a fantastic business. It's changes. It's different. It's not the same day in and day out. You know it's exciting.

We were looking for a business that we could continue for a long period time. And it was a struggle because I'm an entrepreneur and I'm always constantly looking around trying to find the next best thing. So, she doesn't know whether EmbroidMe was just going to be the next best thing or if I actually found something. But, I think you know, seven years, eight years into it now, it's proven itself as this is a business we want to say in and we enjoy it. We love it.

What are all the benefits that I received from training? They are varied because the number of topics that are covered in training are as diverse as what you need to know to run the business. But certainly sales, and more more than just the vanilla here's how to sell. This is how to sell this product, this is how to sell it to this industry. Here's your game plan and your numbers and all the things that if I went out into business for myself, I'd have to figure that out on my own. The training is as broad as what you need for the business and it's going to fill your head with a lot of facts but you always know that you have support people standing ready to help you after you graduate and move on.

The training school was fantastic. I knew nothing about embroidery when I came here and now I feel really confident. It really instilled confidence that we can do this business. Having no background with embroidery, you come here thinking that you just don't know how you're going to do this. But you go away and think I can do this. They empower you. They give you all the knowledge you need.

Starting from the ground up, I knew nothing coming into this. I've never owned a business before, so I think the most valuable thing that I learned was concept to completion. Getting out there and marketing, what I do with that marketing information, the production, everything has been so great and the financial aspect of it was a big one.

The most that I learned from training was how much the United Franchise Group really is there to help you. I went into it, very maybe not blind, but unaware. And within the first three days, I learned more than I ever thought I would have.

didn't believe in franchises. I was born and raised in a really icky situation. My dad was in a franchise and he was basically neglected, left by the wayside. So I didn't believe in them until I met EmbroidMe. And my reaction to Ray was, if you could promise me everything you're doing I'll buy it now. Just because you know what they offered was amazing. What we find is it's really there. I can put pretty much call down and get anybody I need and get any question answered. Now do I use them a lot? Not a lot, because I know that it's my business and I need to be resourceful and find out some of my own answers. But then that's also where you rely on your stores. You know there's other stores that we call often just to say hey, have you done this before or do you know someone that's done this before. Can you find the information from them?

In 2001, one year after getting its start in West Palm Beach, Florida, EmbroidMe was ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as the number one embroidery franchise in the world.

I chose EmbroidMe because I liked the concept of the franchise, the way they have it set up, the support system. We looked at several franchises and everything that we found through EmbroidMe and UFG just fit us perfectly.

With unparalleled support and all the tools necessary for success, EmbroidMe is a turnkey franchise that provides everything you need to launch your new business, including the necessary equipment to perform direct to garment printing and embroidery. Most EmbroidMe franchisees come to us with little or no experience in the embroidery industry and most have never owned a business. A professional attitude and hunger for success are the key components necessary to begin the five-week training process.

Training begins with two weeks in sunny South Florida at the United Franchise Group corporate headquarters. During this time, classroom instruction and production training will teach you all the fundamental aspects of the business. We will show you how to hire and train your production staff, and will review production and equipment training. Although our owners typically don't perform much of the production, it's important to have a working knowledge of how your equipment operates.

Our CEO, Ray Titus, is hands-on, passionate about our brands and likes to get to know each franchisee personally. You too will be able to sit down with Ray during your initial two-week training. After your two weeks have come to a close, you'll then spend a week training on-site at a mentor store, learning all the aspects of the business. You will work with an established owner, who will continue to mentor you, especially important through the first few months of starting your business. The final two weeks of your training will happen on-site at your store. We will send a representative to your location to spend time with you reviewing equipment operation, local business marketing, and helping to establish the contacts you will need to launch your new business.

The number of topics that are covered in training are as diverse as what you need to know to run the business. But certainly, sales and more than just the vanilla here's how to sell. This is how to sell this product, this is how to sell it to this industry. Here's your game plan and your numbers and all the things that if I went out into business for myself, I'd have to figure that out on my own.

After your five-week training session is over, our support continues. One-on-one session with our field representatives offer ongoing support, helping to identify new growth and profit strategies. We provide ongoing marketing programs to support you and your business, including our customizable virtual shopping portal that allows you to offer 24/7 online ordering to your customers. We also provide targeted advertising campaigns and an in-house public relations and marketing team committed to promoting and growing the EmbroidMe brand....See the rest of the script: http://goo.gl/w6qr9

The mentor program is a phenomenal program that they offer now. When we started out there wasn't a mentor program, so we needed to find our own answers. They now offer that to every single person who comes out of training school so you have a go-to person when you need that extra help. We had a store, a Virginia store. They were out of school; they came up to us and said we've got right now a really big bid that we can go in on but we have no idea how to do it. We talked to him; I asked him what he wanted to charge for it and the numbers he gave me, they would never work. So we discussed how he needed to bid it out and what he needed to go to. Found out two weeks later he landed the deal. It was the largest sale he had ever had.

So for us it was really beneficial to us to be able to sit, first of all, down with Ray Titus. Mark Johnson actually gave us our tour when we came down. We had a great time with Mark. He was very open with us and talked to us, and answered all of our questions that we had with him. Ray was great and from there, it just went from each person that we met within the franchise, corporate people. They were all just easy to talk to, very helpful. And that was just a really good feel for us. It just felt like this was right. And we knew the industry was out there. Everybody was using pens and wearing shirts, and buying all kinds of stuff everywhere you look. So everything just kind of fit together.
