Frankston - Number 1 in Australia
A wonderful personal achievement at this year's United Franchise Group Expo in Sydney was being presented with the President's Award for Outstanding and Unselfish Contribution to the Success and Growth of the EmbroidMe retail network in Australia.
Basically, the President's Award recognizes not only our commitment to our own EmbroidMe business in Frankston, but our commitment to our local community in Frankston, and our commitment to the EmbroidMe retail network around Australia, and the world.
We are genuinely dedicated to the success of the EmbroidMe brand in Australia, and it is with this same dedication and pride that we are building our local business, and building relationships with our customers. We are ready to help you in your efforts to grow your own business.
 The Expo
The United Franchise Group, home to the EmbroidMe, Sign*A*Rama & Billboard Connection franchises, held its Australasian Expo from the 26th April to 29th April 2007 at Luna Park in Sydney.
The franchise expo is held every eighteen months and combines Australia's largest private trade show and a weekend filled with sales seminars, business development sessions, awards presentations, meetings of the franchise owners sub committees and is capped by a vendor's appreciation dinner.
The 2007 franchise expo theme was "The Secrets of Success", and the vendor dinner on Saturday the 28th April had a James Bond theme where franchisees and vendors were wearing themed fancy dress.
The franchise expo is an excellent opportunity for franchisees from the retail franchise to discuss business ideas and opportunities that have presented themselves during the year and come up with mutually beneficial ways to grow the three brands. Also, sessions like the Owners Panel where a selection of owners offer their advice and insight to all owners are a great way to learn the business. Nancy from EmbroidMe Frankston was selected for the Owners Panel.
Ray Titus and the entire executive team from the United Franchise Group international headquarters in Miami Florida USA fly in for the franchise expo assisting local staff in making sure everything runs smoothly and to conduct seminars, MC awards nights and for Ray an ask the president session.
More than 150 franchisees from Australia and New Zealand, not including their staff and business partners who also attended the franchise expo, started with an opening night cocktail party hosted by Ray Titus.
The United Franchise Group will hold its next world franchise expo at Disney World in Orlando Florida in 2008.
