Fully Promoted, a global branded apparel and promotional products franchise, closed out its 25th year with systemwide sales growth, international development, and increased franchise activity, strengthening its position in the branded merchandise space. The company saw an increase in global systemwide sales year-over-year, supported by higher-value orders and expanding enterprise relationships across key verticals.
In 2025, Fully Promoted signed 57 new franchise agreements, including resales, and launched 34 new locations worldwide, including 20 in the U.S., 12 in Australia, one in Canada, and one in Mexico. The company also welcomed three new master franchise partners: Deepika Suresh Kumar in India, Prakash Inani in Ireland, and Aldaric Ndeffo in Cameroon, extending the brand's reach across Asia, Europe, and Africa.
Several franchise owners achieved significant sales milestones. Fully Promoted Cleveland East and Cleveland West in Ohio, as well as Fully Promoted Grand Rapids, Michigan, surpassed $1 million in annual sales for the first time, while Fully Promoted of Southern New Hampshire (Bedford) and Fully Promoted Albuquerque, New Mexico exceeded $2 million.
“Our franchisees delivered exceptional work this year, and it's creating real momentum across our system,” said Andrew Titus, President of Fully Promoted. “Businesses are thinking differently about branded merchandise; it's not just about swag or giveaways but about selecting the right product for the right audience to influence engagement, retention, or loyalty. The conversation has been shifting from transactions to impact and outcomes, and that's where our model thrives.”
Fully Promoted notes that younger professionals increasingly hold purchasing authority, fueling a shift toward premium, longer-lasting products in areas such as onboarding, recognition programs, and corporate gifting. To support continued growth, the company added Nick Machemehl as Business Advisor and Heidy Llorens as Marketing & Technology Coordinator, and elevated Tyler Sherwood to Director of Marketing & Technology.
“The foundation of Fully Promoted has always centered around supporting franchisees in a growing and evolving category,” said Ray Titus, Chairman and CEO of United Franchise Group. “What we saw in 2025 reinforces that our franchise system is positioned for the next phase of expansion.”
Fully Promoted's performance comes as many distributors navigated a challenging environment driven by macroeconomic pressures and tariff-related cost fluctuations. The brand's ability to grow reflects its franchise model and strategic focus on value creation. For more information, visit www.fullypromoted.com or www.fullypromotedfranchise.com.
