James and Anna, who make up the TaxAssist Accountant’s Client Service Team, took an array of samples with them to show new and existing franchisees the range of marketing collateral that is available for them to personalise and order via the web-to-print system.

The showcase also allowed new franchisees to meet James and Anna in person, pictured here after their jaunt to Newport. James said of the event,

“It is a good opportunity for us to put faces to names and to answer any questions that the network may have. We also particularly enjoyed the buffet lunch!”.

The ‘Approval+‘ feature in the BrandDemand system lets you do exactly that. This nifty feature gives you the opportunity to double check and approve artwork before the order is immortalised in print.

How does it work?

Users still place orders online in the usual way but instead of going straight to print the orders are routed to a nominated contact at Head Office. This contact will have the opportunity to double check the order before finally approving it for print.

Do I need to check every order?
No. This feature can be enabled for new or inexperienced users and disabled for experienced users who really understand your brand guidelines.



How do I get this?
This feature is included in the BrandDemand web-to-print system.

£13.4 billion annual turnover across the UK franchise industry;

929 franchisor brands operating in the UK;

594,000 people employed in franchising in the UK;

3.5% increase in the number of British brands turning to franchising last year.

Coupled with the fact that a new start up franchise business is more likely to survive the crucial first year of business when compared to a non franchised start up, it’s easy to understand why it’s on the up!

Put it on a sticker. Now you’re ready to put your mark on anything. Perhaps you’re planning a bit of guerrilla marketing, or want to brand everything in sight. It’s a great way to spread the word about your business.

Mailing stickers

Rectangle kiss-cut stickers are ideal to use as mailing stickers. Let your customer know how important they are by adding ‘Urgent’ or ‘Priority’ to their package. They also make great return labels, just add your logo and address.
Filing labels


Create your own labels to stick on the outside of files, no more scribbling out the old title – simply pop a new label over the top and write on the new contents. They’ll look professional and keep everything neat and tidy.

Product packaging

Circular stickers are perfect for sealing wrapping paper or adding to gift boxes. They add a little bit of personalisation that will make your packaging stand out and look professional. Rectangle ones also make great labels for jam and chutney jars.

Give them to your customers

Everyone loves a sticker. Give them out with orders, mail outs and invoices, your customer will stick them to their belongings and be reminded of you. Put together a few designs so they can pick their favourite. They’ll see it again and again as they go throughout their day. Excellent for giving out at events, launches and exhibitions.

Say well done
Stick some praise on your pupils with behaviour and motivational merit stickers. Encourage their attendance and punctuality by awarding them for 100% attendance in a month or being on time all week. Give them a boost by adding stickers to a chart for full marks in a test or outstanding homework.

Name tags

Hosting a network meeting, taking part in an event or exhibition? Let everyone know who’s who by wearing rectangular stickers displaying their name alongside your logo and organisation. Now they’ll remember your name as well as your brilliant ideas.
Stickers can be turned into Templates and added to your BrandDemand system just like any other product. Just decide whether they should be generic (all the same) or personalised (eg. with franchisee or office specific details) and we’ll do the rest.

The BrandDemand web-to-print system from printing.com was showcased at the BFA Annual Conference this month. printing.com is the BFA Brand Partner for web-to-print systems due to their in-depth, practical and personal knowledge of franchising.

It was great to catch up with some of our BrandDemand clients that were at the event, such as Envirovent, and Wilkins Chimney Sweep and also Revive! who went on to win the ‘Brand Builder of the Year’ title at the Franchisor awards ceremony.

We should also say thanks to Simon Bartholomew from Oscar Pet Foods for the mention he gave BrandDemand during his insightful seminar on the importance of local franchisee marketing.

Over the two day conference we heard lots of people talking about franchise recruitment and the importance of brand alignment in portraying a strong image amongst competitors. The BrandDemand system offers one more way to ensure your brand remains strong throughout a growing network and the built in management tools allow you to monitor the use of your brand on a daily basis.
