Brandon & Nikki Jasper Find Success With Minuteman Press Franchise in Kettering, OH; Join President’s Club
20 Mayo 2024 - 9:00AM
Brandon and Nikki Jasper first joined the Minuteman Press franchise
family in August of 2022. They purchased a long-running independent
print shop, Schuerholz Printing, and opened Minuteman Press in
Kettering, Ohio. Over the past two years, Brandon and Nikki have
grown their business by expanding products (wide format and
apparel), increasing Internet Marketing Program spend, and
providing outstanding customer service that generates 5-star
reviews and client referrals.
As a result of their hard work and by following the Minuteman
Press franchise system, Brandon and Nikki have joined the Minuteman
Press International President’s Club for achieving over $1 million
in gross sales for the year ending 2023. Brandon says, “We are
thrilled to have reached this milestone. For our first year in
business, we have seen double digit growth from the previous
owner’s yearly sales, as well as achieved over $1M in yearly
sales.”
Growing the Business
When asked about their keys to growth, Brandon shares, “Our
sales growth is primarily attributed to attracting new customers
and taking on more business installations and on-site projects. Our
new customer growth has come from our increased investment in the
Minuteman Press Internet Marketing Program as well as current
customer referrals. We strive to be the best in class with customer
service, speed, and quality. That culture has increased our Google
review 5-star ratings and in return has generated many leads from
our current customers.”
Product expansion has also been a key to growth for Minuteman
Press in Kettering. Nikki says, “Our high demand products are books
and programs. Our key growth areas are wide format products as well
as apparel. We recently purchased wide format equipment to drive
down costs and increase overall margins. We also partnered with
Stahl’s Transfers to create online Spirit Sites for the local
schools.”
Being active in the community also helps build relationships and
drive business growth. Brandon explains, “The community we serve is
wide-ranging. We provide printing and marketing services for large
corporations, schools, churches, non-profits, and small businesses.
No one customer represents more than 8% of our total sales. We are
members of the local Chamber of Commerce, and I am a member of
Dor-Wood Optimist group, am on the board of the
Bellbrook-Sugarcreek Community Center and the board of The
Gathering Church.”
Why Minuteman Press?
Prior to Minuteman Press, Brandon’s background was in Marketing
and Operations for a large convenience retailer and Nikki’s
background was in Environmental Resource Management. Nikki says,
“We ultimately chose Minuteman Press because we liked the business
model and support provided by the company. We found a great
opportunity by purchasing Schuerholz Printing, which was a staple
in the community for over 45 years.”
She continues, “Support from Minuteman Press including our RVP
Gary Nowak and the field team has been great, especially as a new
business owner. Also, the proprietary FLEX software is a very good
tool to manage customers, jobs, marketing opportunities, and
financials. It helped us get up-to-speed more quickly and not get
bogged down in inefficient processes. Support has also been great
for purchasing new equipment. We were able to leverage the
Minuteman Press brand to get preferred pricing on new
equipment.”
Rewards & Advice for Others
Together, Brandon and Nikki reflect on the rewards of changing
careers and becoming business owners: “Owning our own business has
allowed us to establish the culture and priorities that are
centered around top-notch customer service, quality products and
speed. We can make decisions that actually drive sales. It has also
given us more flexibility to be able to attend important events for
our daughter.”
Their advice to others is this: “Continue to WOW your current
customers with excellent service and products. Also, focus your
marketing efforts on businesses that can benefit from multiple
offerings and services that you can provide.”
