    WEST PALM BEACH, FL, July 31, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fully Promoted®, a leading full-service promotional products franchise, is reporting impressive results for the first half of 2024, where it achieved strong unit growth as well as sales increases both systemwide and at a unit level. The brand opened eight new locations nationwide in the first two quarters in markets including Scottsdale, Ariz.; Cincinnati, Ohio; Wyckoff, N.J.; Calabasas, Calif.; Lawrence, Kan.; and three in its home state of Florida in Winter Park, Palmetto Bay, and Pembroke Pines. Fully Promoted is continuing to propel its domestic expansion, with 12 additional locations in the pipeline slated to open before the end of the year.

Adding to the brand's notable performance this year, Fully Promoted also signed 15 franchise agreements in the first six months, signifying the brand's staying power within both the promotional products and franchising industries. These agreements will result in 12 new units to be opened soon, adding to the brand's growing worldwide footprint.

"Over the past 19+ months, our team has worked tirelessly to deploy strategies and integrate innovations that would better tell our brand story, benefit our franchise owners, improve operational efficiencies, and enhance our customers' experience. We are thrilled to see that those initiatives are translating to wins across the board," said Andrew Titus, President of Fully Promoted. "We are proud to share these outstanding results and use them as a benchmark for our continued success for the remainder of this year and most certainly in the years to come."

Fully Promoted is feeling its success systemwide with several high-performing locations having their best year ever, and the brand on pace to have a record number of million-dollar locations. Fully Promoted locations in Ohio have grown a stunning 25.8% in sales year-to-date. Additionally, the Minnesota locations are up 46.6% in sales year-to-date.
