Imagine a business, with every other business as your potential customer, and you have just imagined our printing business. All businesses, large or small, from high tech to your neighborhood shops, all use printed matter in the daily operation of their business. We are sure that you can see the magnitude of the industry, and the wide market base we serve. As a Minuteman Press owner, you will have a unique place in the printing industry, having the capability to serve virtually all the printing needs a business may be faced with.

In addition, you will find our business to be a creative one; challenging and exciting, a business which will allow you to test all of your abilities and potential. You will own your business but be secure and have peace of mind knowing that we have the experience and are available to assist, educate, guide, and work with you on an on-going basis in developing your business.



One of the most vital functions we perform for our Minuteman Press franchise owners is to provide an exceptional training program. The Minuteman Press training program is a minimum two and a half week program held in our modern training facility at World Headquarters in Farmingdale, New York. The training center is furnished with up-to-date equipment, and is staffed with professional teaching personnel, most of whom have been with Minuteman Press since its beginning years.

The two and a half week training course will provide you with not only the technical knowledge of our business, but also with business knowledge, such as bookkeeping, computerized and manual pricing, as well as management techniques needed to operate your Minuteman Press business.

We are aware that the majority of Minuteman Press owners come to us from backgrounds not associated with printing. As such, your training does not end after your two and a half weeks at our training facility. We provide "on site" continued training for you, and assist you in interviewing, testing, hiring, and training of your personnel to help you get your business started and operational.

The training program will provide you with a thorough understanding in concept and in fact of the proven methods of operating a Minuteman Press Full Service Printing Center.
Marketing and promotion are the keys to the growth of your Minuteman Press Full Service Printing Center. While there are many ways to grow a business in addition to the obvious identifiable location and Yellow Page advertising, Minuteman Press franchise owners can take advantage of our various marketing and promotional strategies. These include direct mail programs, telemarketing, and direct marketing programs. As another example of industry leadership, we outpaced our industry when we first unveiled our innovative "Free Color Day" program, and upscaled it when we unveiled our new "Free Combo Color Day" program.

The increasing number of new entrants into the President's Million Dollar Circle, as well as the numerous recipients of various levels of our coveted Gold - Star- Awards, are solid examples of our management and marketing philosophies at work.


Once you are accepted as a Minuteman Press franchisee, you may be eligible to finance the equipment package. While there are many advantages to this financing program, you are certainly entitled to select any independent financing program which best suits your needs.
