New franchisees, for example, can use the Print4U portal to order their own additional printed materials as their own businesses expands.
YogaBugs is a highly successful business with an effective working model. It also has the distinction of turning down three offers of finance and an outright sale from the investors in BBC Television’s Dragons Den programme because the founders thought they could do better themselves – and so far they have proved that hunch to be right.
"YogaBugs started franchising in September 2007 and twelve months on with 28 franchisees, we found that the printing company we were working with had not only increased the cost of their artwork and printing but it could be days before they’d answer our queries or send through approvals which made us look less than professional.
Print2Please offered a facility for our franchisees to manage their own e-project rooms, order stationery online directly at a much cheaper cost and meant that we could bypass a lot of work by having the team at Print2Please manage our franchisees’ needs and queries.
Working with Tony, Carol and the rest of the team has saved us a lot of time and money and I’m so glad they approached us. With the consistent high quality and great customer service this was one business relationship we’re glad we got into and will continue to grow as our company does."
