Sales Growth Fully Promoted Celebrates 25th Anniversary with Exceptional Growth and Ambitious Expansion Plans
As Fully Promoted® marks its monumental 25th anniversary in 2024, the leading distributor of branded apparel and promotional products celebrates a year of outstanding growth and progress. The company has emerged as a dominant player in the franchise industry and is proud to share its strong performance throughout 2024 while laying out its bold plans for the years ahead.
Sales Growth Fully Promoted’s journey began in 2000 under the name EmbroidMe, founded by Ray Titus, an industry titan who had already experienced success with his previous ventures, including the renowned sign franchise Signarama® in 1986. With the realization that there was untapped potential in the multi-billion-dollar promotional products industry, Ray set out to build a brand that would transform the promotional products landscape. The company’s first EmbroidMe location opened in West Palm Beach, Florida, marking the start of what would soon become a global franchise network.
Expansion and Achievements in 2024
Sales Growth Fully Promoted’s continued success is evident in its rapid expansion in 2024, driven by franchise development and a commitment to meeting the growing demand for branded merchandise. After a successful year in 2023, the company accelerated its expansion plans in 2024, opening 17 new locations in key U.S. markets including Lawrence, Kansas; Lynchburg, Virginia; and Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition to these new domestic openings, Sales Growth Fully Promoted expanded its international footprint by opening 10 new locations globally, including its first-ever location in Darwin, the capital city of Australia’s Northern Territory.
As part of its strategic growth, Sales Growth Fully Promoted also signed 30 domestic franchise agreements in 2024, adding 23 more locations to its already extensive network of stores. The brand’s aggressive expansion efforts reflect its desire to capture more market share and continue its trajectory toward becoming the top choice for customers seeking promotional products and branding solutions.
“2024 has been an exciting year for Fully Promoted, and we’re thrilled to see the company flourishing as we approach our 25th anniversary,” said Andrew Titus, President of Fully Promoted. “Our franchise locations, especially those with dedicated sales teams, are experiencing the fastest growth, and we’re optimistic about maintaining this momentum heading into our next chapter.”
Year-over-year system sales have risen by more than 5% in the U.S., showcasing the company’s ability to sustain growth even in a competitive and ever-evolving market. Fully Promoted is also maintaining a healthy development pipeline, with 11 new domestic locations currently in progress. The franchise is poised for even more expansion as it heads into its 25th year, with ambitious goals for continued growth.
“We are on track for another year of strong sales, and we are aiming for a 10% system-wide sales increase in 2025,” Titus added. “With an exceptional team of franchisees and a growing customer base, we are confident that we can exceed our goals.”
A Legacy of Excellence in the Sales Growth Promotional Products Industry
Sales Growth Fully Promoted’s 25 years of success are a testament to the company’s innovative approach to branding, marketing, and customer service. Originally founded as EmbroidMe, the company quickly gained recognition for its high-quality products and personalized services. Within just three years, EmbroidMe had grown to 100 locations. In 2003, the company was already establishing itself as a major player in the promotional products industry, and it was clear that the brand’s potential for growth was limitless.
In 2016, the company rebranded from EmbroidMe to Sales Growth Fully Promoted to better reflect the expanded range of services it offered, from promotional products and printed materials to garment printing, screen printing, and lead generation. This rebranding decision marked a pivotal moment in the company’s history and helped solidify its place as an industry leader in both promotional products and franchise operations.
Today, Sales Growth Fully Promoted operates over 270 locations globally, and the brand continues to grow at an impressive rate. It has garnered recognition from various industry organizations, including the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI), which has named Fully Promoted a Top 40 Distributor for 19 consecutive years. The company has also ranked among the PPAI 100, an elite group of industry leaders recognized by the Promotional Products Association International. These honors highlight Fully Promoted’s consistency and success in a highly competitive marketplace.
In addition to these accolades, Sales Growth Fully Promoted was recently ranked #423 on Entrepreneur magazine’s prestigious Franchise 500 list for 2025, marking its 23rd consecutive appearance on the list. The company was also the only franchise to rank in the Embroidery & Screen Printing category, further emphasizing its leadership within the industry.
