AlphaGraphics has a proven business system that helps franchisees enjoy the industry\'s highest average annual sales. Every business center is equipped the latest visual communication equipment and software. Solutions include desktop publishing, design, high-speed duplication, single, multicolor and over-sized printing, binding, custom presentation materials, scan-to-file archiving services, one-to-one marketing, mailing services, CD-ROM services and Web site design and maintenance. A proprietary, global data network links AlphaGraphics locations in the US and nine countries for secure transmission of e-mail, as well as digital art and text documents.

Training/Ongoing Support

The majority of our franchisees come to AlphaGraphics with no experience in the visual communications industry. That\'s why our comprehensive training program takes you through every facet of the business. You\'ll begin with a four-week program at our corporate headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, followed by a week-long, on-site training session at an AlphaGraphics center.

Ongoing training is available year-round in the form of regional seminars; audio, video and computer-based instructional tools; and one-on-one, on-site visits from our highly trained team of field consultants. We also provide unparalleled field and telephone support, and ongoing opportunities for franchisee peer groups and camaraderie. Our seasoned team of problem solvers makes sure that the support our business center owners need is always just a phone call or e-mail away.
