Money Mailer
 

Money Mailer is the franchise for the sales entrepreneur ready to run his/her own local marketing consulting company. Franchisees help businesses succeed with cutting edge marketing solutions including direct mail, online, mobile and interactive. This is a B2B, home-office based model with fast startup, high repeat business and multiple revenue streams. Franchisees do the consulting, Money Mailer does the rest. Once a campaign is finalized the order is sent to Money Mailer for printing, inserting, mailing and Internet placement. Money Mailer’s Accelerator financing and launch package reduces the initial investment to a low $7500 and provides $20,000 in first year production credits to put franchisees on the profitability fast track. Named “one of the Top 10 businesses for a recession” as coupon redemption continues at record pace and ranked #1 in Category by Entrepreneur Magazine 7 years in a row. This is a highly consultative, relationship-driven business that can be rapidly scaled.
