Allegra has led the way in the evolution in the graphic communications industry — from printing to full service marketing communications. This diversification initiative assisted our franchise members in expanding their service offering from digital and offset printing to include value-added services such as variable data, signs and banners, promotional products and mailing services as well as marketing consultation, strategic planning and creative development.
Allegra centers provide graphic design, printing, mailing, and strategic marketing consultation services, as well as sales promotion products to small and medium-sized businesses, nonprofits, and institutions. Virtually every business and institution requires digital or printed promotional and informational materials of the type offered by Allegra® centers – and a high percentage of these customers will generate frequent reorders of consumable printed materials and promotional products. A PROVEN BUSINESS MODEL
The Allegra® business model is among the most successful in all of franchising, and for many good reasons. It offers you access to a large and stable market that needs what you sell. It can provide significant income and equity growth that’s controlled by you. It’s a business that involves creativity, as well as the satisfaction of producing high-value products to drive customer success. Equally as important, it’s a career choice that allows an excellent work/life balance with B2B business hours.
Two ways to own an Allegra center include:
Allegra MatchMaker™ Program
Unique to franchising, we help entrepreneurs enter the industry by purchasing an existing independent printing business and converting it to an Allegra center through our Allegra MatchMaker™ program. With an established customer base, experienced staff and proven track record in the market, our Allegra MatchMaker™ program offers distinct advantages over most franchise opportunities.
Existing Allegra Center
Candidates buying existing franchise centers enjoy the benefits of purchasing an Allegra branded location, while having the opportunity to make that business their own with the support of our proven business systems. Contact us to learn if an existing Allegra center may be for sale in your area.
