FOR SALE AN ESTABLISHED GREETINGS CARD FRANCHISE WITH ORIGINAL POSTER COMPANY

WWW.ORIGINALPOSTER.COM

A franchise with The Original Poster Company gives you the freedom and independence to control your own future. It is a proven system that has worked time after time for franchisees from all walks of life. This opportunity offers you all the benefits of owning and running your own franchise without the risks of starting an untested venture on your own. As the world's largest franchisor of greetings cards we offer you the support and expertise of an experienced international organisation.

You supply retailers with free displays and stock on sale or return. You then visit the shop every month or so and replace the cards that have been sold and collect your money. It's a very attractive proposition for the retailer because there is no risk or cost to them - they only buy what they have already sold.

The product sells itself; all you have to do is collect the money! You can operate the business from home, using a medium sized family car, or you can build the business up to the point where you employ others to do the daily merchandising visits, and you operate as a manager. How far you progress with your franchise is up to you; OPC will be with you every step of the way with an intensive programme of training, support and managed development to ensure that the business continues to meet your needs.
