ABOUT US
Established in 2000, Our Promotional Branding Franchise Continues to Lead 26 Years Later
What started as a small, family-owned business quickly transformed into the world’s largest branded apparel and promotional products franchise, with locations around the world. As a business to business (B2B) brand, our well-structured and proven promotional products business model has been built to maintain a strong customer base in virtually any economic condition.
Currently, there are more than 250 Fully Promoted stores in more than 11 countries worldwide. While the company headquarters remains stationed at its original base in West Palm Beach, Florida, our promotional marketing franchise has a strong presence all over the world. Fully Promoted maintains hubs in major areas around the globe, including Canada, Australia, Europe, and Africa.
A Company Rooted In Promoting Businesses
Our Franchise Development Expert Team
Fully Promoted is part of the United Franchise Group family of brands, a franchise organization with decades of experience supporting business owners across multiple industries. United Franchise Group was founded in 1986 with the launch of Signarama by father-and-son team Roy and Ray Titus. After the early success of that brand, the company expanded into additional franchise concepts and built a broader platform for franchise development and support. Today, Ray Titus continues that legacy as CEO of United Franchise Group, leading the organization while also carrying the business forward as a family enterprise with the next generation now involved.

Our brand is the undisputed leader in the embroidery industry. We’ve received accolades such as:
- Top 100 Franchises – Global Award — 2026
- #1 Ranked in Embroidery and Screen Printing — 2026
- Entrepreneur Magazine ranking (#404) — 2026

Our Future In Franchising
An Expanded Growth Plan
The future of Fully Promoted is now. In January 2017, we announced the next evolution of our brand. Following the lead of our successful business owners and their customers, we changed our name from EmbroidMe to Fully Promoted.
While we have always provided a wide range of products and services – from custom apparel and promotional products to printing services – our name now reflects these product offerings, making us an even stronger brand.
Fully Promoted is a one-stop destination for small and medium size businesses. Our stores provide not only the products and services, but the solutions and ideas to help our customers gain more customers of their own. Our franchisees are working with their customers, helping them become Fully Promoted and taking their business to the next level.
A HISTORY OF LEADERSHIP IN FRANCHISING
Our Franchise Leadership Team
Ray Titus has ensured that the company continues on an upward path to success, innovation in the industry, and economic growth. He has elevated franchising from a career to a calling. His philosophies on growth, positive attitude, and family, influence the core values that have driven success within the brands he has developed from conception to international expansion.
Ray’s enterprising spirit was cultivated by a franchising legend, his father, Roy Titus, founder of Minute Man Press. In 1986 Ray founded Signarama®, growing it into the largest sign franchise in the world. Ray applied his successful business model to other brands, laying the groundwork for what has become United Franchise Group (UFG) and United Franchise Group, an established and respected community within the world’s franchising industry for nearly four decades.
Today, UFG affiliated brands and consultants operate in a variety of industry sectors, include over 1600 franchises in more than 60 countries, and have contributed to the development over 350 brands into franchises, in over 80 countries with more than 2500 franchisees, yet continues to remain a family business.
Ray’s commitment to community is epitomized by his support of The Titus Center for Franchising, the first university program in the US solely dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of franchising, as well as the creation of UFG Cares™, The United Franchise Group Foundation, and an endowed scholarship program for business students.
Ray’s achievements demonstrate his dedication to advancing the principles of franchising and his passion for entrepreneurship. He has created a community within the franchising industry that values family, personal growth, and fellowship. His outreach influences on a global scale as he continues to create opportunities for entrepreneurs to gain not only financial independence but also establish their legacy for future generations to come.
