What ongoing support will I receive?
You will be paired with an experienced and knowledgable Franchise Support Representative during training. Your Franchise Support Representative will work with you and the rest of the team within AIA to support you as your business grows.
The entire AIA team - from Tech Support to Marketing; from Art Services to Supplier Relations - is committed to working with you to ensure your success. Opportunities to network with the National Support Center staff as well as fellow franchisees are countless...and valuable to both new and experienced AIA network members.
AIA affords you the opportunity to have a home-based business - you have the flexibility to run your business out of the setting that you prefer.
AIA handles the time-consuming back-office tasks: supplier relations, order tracking, even customer invoicing. Our franchisees are free to spend their time productively.
AIA's volume purchasing and strong supplier relationships give our franchisees many advantages over similar sized independent businesses.
AIA provides working capital to its franchisees to grow their business. You're not limited by cash on hand or bank lines of credit. No order is too large.
The cost of entry into the promotional products business is low - and AIA gives you the benefit of affiliation with a large distributor company without having to go through the steep learning curve a totally independent distributor would need to go through. By the time franchisees with brick-and-mortar companies have their location determined, you can already be developing relationships with your customers.
