What is a Fully Promoted franchise?

Fully Promoted is Australia’s largest branded apparel and promotional products franchise network. With more than 70 brick-and-mortar stores across Australia and growing, we’re the trusted national partner for branded uniforms, workwear, and promotional products in the B2B sector.

Why should I buy a franchise instead of starting my own business?

In Australia, more than 60% of new small businesses fail within their first five years of operation. That’s because starting a business from scratch runs a higher risk of failing, as there are no proven systems, an undeveloped brand, and often a lack of expert support in place.

One of the key benefits of buying a franchise, whether you’re a first-time business owner or a seasoned retailer, is that you’ll own your own business, but you’ll never be alone. Fully Promoted ensures that franchisees receive comprehensive training and ongoing support.

How much does it cost to buy a Fully Promoted franchise in Australia?

Getting started with your own Fully Promoted franchise is designed to be accessible and manageable. The cost for each franchisee varies depending on several key factors; however, you may spend approximately $130,000 to $250,000 AUD to get started. This includes the $69,500 franchising fee as well as equipment and other essentials.

What ongoing fees will I need to pay?

All franchisees contribute a marketing fee, calculated from 1% of annual revenue, as well as an annual royalty fee, calculated as 6% of annual revenue. These fees help support monthly marketing campaigns, including brand awareness, content marketing, search engine optimisation, and Google Ads to generate enquiries to your store. They all go towards ongoing operational support and training from the Fully Promoted network.

Do I get an exclusive territory?

Yes, all stores gain a license to service a territory. This ensures that you get exclusive access to a region without direct competition from another Fully Promoted franchise. Some franchisees also choose to purchase additional territories to expand their footprint and operations.

What makes Fully Promoted different from other franchises?

The Fully Promoted franchise model is a proven business model that’s been expertly designed and perfected to maximise the Australian market. Exclusively serving professional clients and organisations, Fully Promoted franchise owners benefit from predictable schedules and brand operations that support sustained growth and success.

As a franchise partner, you’ll immediately leverage a globally recognised and industry-leading brand with proven B2B operating solutions.

Can I convert my existing business to a Fully Promoted?

Yes. Running a business on your own can be tough; you may feel as though you don’t have the right support or the right systems in place to meet your growth goals.

Operating mostly Monday to Friday, owners combine showroom sales, design, and marketing to help businesses grow, while still enjoying their weekends. If you’re energetic, people-oriented, and enjoy varied, hands-on, and rewarding work, a Fully Promoted franchise is the perfect choice.

What industries would my customers come from?

Fully Promoted franchises cater to professional clients across a wide range of industries who prioritise value, quality, and long-term partnerships. This structure allows franchisees to work within standard business hours, supporting a better work-life balance.
