Fully Promoted, a global branded apparel and promotional products franchise, reported year-over-year sales growth and expanded its international footprint in 2025, closing its 25th year with 57 new franchise agreements and 34 new locations worldwide. The company, part of United Franchise Group, saw systemwide sales increase due to higher-value orders and expanding enterprise relationships across key verticals.
New locations included 20 in the United States, 12 in Australia, one in Canada, and one in Mexico. Fully Promoted 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 into 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 and Fully Promoted Albuquerque, New Mexico exceeded $2 million.
Andrew Titus, President of Fully Promoted, said the company's growth reflects a shift in how businesses approach 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," he said. "The conversation has been shifting from transactions to impact and outcomes, and that's where our model thrives."
The company noted that younger professionals increasingly hold purchasing authority, fueling demand for premium, longer-lasting products in areas such as onboarding, recognition programs, and corporate gifting. To support network growth, Fully Promoted added two team members: Nick Machemehl as Business Advisor and Heidy Llorens as Marketing & Technology Coordinator, and promoted Tyler Sherwood to Director of Marketing & Technology.
Ray Titus, Chairman and CEO of United Franchise Group, said the results position the franchise for further expansion. "The demand for more thoughtful branded merchandise is rising, and Fully Promoted is meeting that demand through a modern, consultative approach that resonates with today's buyers," he said.
Fully Promoted's performance comes as many distributors faced challenges from macroeconomic pressures, shifting purchasing cycles, and tariff-related cost fluctuations. The brand's ability to grow during this period reflects its franchise model and focus on value creation over commoditized transactions.
Fully Promoted operates approximately 300 individually owned locations worldwide. For more information, visit www.fullypromoted.com or www.fullypromotedfranchise.com.
