June 7, 2007Young Entrepreneur Continues to Break New Ground in the Established World of FranchisingWEST PALM BEACH (June 2007) – Ray Titus, president of one of the world’s largest business-to-business franchise systems, United Franchise Group (UFG), was recently honored with the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award for Florida recognizing leading entrepreneurs whose ingenuity and perseverance have created and sustained successful, growing business ventures. Titus, son of franchising legend, Roy Titus, used experience gained from his family’s business to develop his own company, United Franchise Group. UFG’s unique approach to franchising centers on a philosophy that provides a competitive advantage for franchise owners and one-stop convenience for their customers. The dynamic franchise system includes award-winning brands such as SIGN*A*RAMA, EmbroidMe and Billboard Connection collectively uniting signage, embroidery and outdoor advertising. The franchisees from each brand work hand-in-hand to develop an overall branding strategy for their customers. Franchisees share, hence service, customers worldwide while offering essentially a “one-stop” solution for corporate branding. This multi-brand strategy has led to incredible growth in franchise sales for the company both domestically and overseas, generating nearly $500 million in system-wide sales. They have recently begun to offer other franchisors their expertise in franchise development and strategy for both domestic and international expansion. Ultimately, UFG and its team of franchising experts has become a business development resource for franchisors in any industry. In honor of his company’s international achievements, Ray has been awarded the United States Department of Commerce’s prestigious Presidential “E” Award. The President''s “E” Award is the highest honor the federal government can give to an American exporting company. The award serves to recognize U.S. firms for their competitive achievements in world markets and their part in increasing U.S. exports abroad. Commerce Secretary Carlos M. Gutierrez joined President Bush at the White House to present SIGN*A*RAMA, along with ten other organizations, with the “E” Award for excellence in exporting. The company’s export sales increased 700% in three years, growing from $1.5 million in 2002 to $12 million in 2005. Learn more about Sign-A-Rama - Sign Franchise and request more information.
