2025 marks the 25th year of business for Fully Promoted. The company was established as EmbroidMe in 2000 by Ray Titus, founder and CEO of United Franchise Group and father of Andrew. Ray also founded sign franchise Signarama in 1986.

The first EmbroidMe company store opened in West Palm Beach, Florida, and grew to 100 locations by 2003. EmbroidMe rebranded to Fully Promoted in 2016 to better represent the vast array of branding and marketing solutions it offers customers, including promotional products, printed materials, garment printing, screen printing, and lead generation tactics, according to the company.

Fully Promoted also recently landed on Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 Franchise 500 for the 23rd year, ranking at #423 and was the only franchise to rank in the Embroidery & Screen Printing category.

“Reflecting on the past 25 years, it’s incredible to see how far we’ve come,” said Ray Titus. “The success of Fully Promoted is a testament to the hard work of our team, the loyalty and trust of our customers, as well as the dedication and strength of our franchise network. It has been a wonderful journey so far and as we look ahead, we remain committed to innovation, growth, and providing exceptional service to our communities.”

Fully Promoted plans recognize some of its longest-standing franchise owners and reflect on the company’s journey at its upcoming brand convention taking place March 29-31, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. Fully Promoted is part of the United Franchise Group family of affiliated brands and consultants.
