Answer:
We have ongoing field support programs backed up by local experienced support staff who are immediately available through mobile telephone. We have buying arrangements with all suppliers at preferred rates both for raw materials and presses and other equipment.

We have developed our own computer system called Print Perfect Elite for quoting, pricing, invoicing etc., which can be integrated with marketing and accounting uses. We have a fixed territory that is granted to you as part of your franchise agreement and as a result of which we undertake not to open another Snap Printing Centre within your territory during the life of the agreement. Our training program is based on the Australasian marketplace rather than overseas systems. Our research shows that Snap Printing is the market leader in the quick printing industry in Australasia.

Answer:
There is no reason why you cannot select your desired area, and if we believe on the face of it that it appears viable, then we will arrange to survey it to determine the quantity and type of businesses which are contained within the territory.

Only if we are satisfied, based on our substantial experience in these matters that it meets our territory criteria will we agree to proceed. Territories are allocated to each franchise owner on the basis of which Snap Printing undertake not to open any additional Snap Printing Centres within the territory and also the agreement prohibits other franchise owners from soliciting customers in your territory.

That is not to say that some customers from within your territory may deal with other franchise owners if it is their choice, for example if they are business acquaintances, or have some other personal relationship.

Furthermore, you are permitted to mail and solicit business in vacant areas around your territory until such time as those areas are franchised. It is worthwhile noting that potential customers are unlikely to travel long distances to buy printing as convenience is a telling factor in the decision to buy printing and therefore it is wise not to solicit customers from too wide a circle.

• Have the finances to make the required investment.
• Have the desire to create your own business with a challenging future.
• Be willing to learn and follow the proved Snap Printing System and accept opportunities as they arise.
