"AIA made things so easy to start my business with all of their support and systems in place, plus providing the working capitol that all start ups require. It was easy for my company to hit the ground running."

"Through AIA, I have been helped with everything needed for my business including order entry, product sourcing, decorating options, vendor relations and marketing. The most important aspect to me was that I did not have to secure lines of credit or loans to be able to purchase product. I also learned quickly that the buying power of Adventures in Advertising was very strong, securing price breaks and service that would again have taken years to establish. With them behind me I have started my business from scratch and have basically doubled in size every year. I am on a pace to do that again this year."

"We joined Adventures in Advertising in 1997 and continue to benefit as an AIA franchise. In addition to the financial backing AIA provides, we receive many other advantages. Suppliers treat us as a very important client. As an AIA member, we feel they provide us with a higher level of service and attention. The Marketing, Graphic, Accounting and Franchise Owner Services we receive from the AIA Corporate staff are always quick and comprehensive, giving us the back-up we need, when we need it. AIA management is available to talk with us whenever we have questions. Most importantly, the networking we have with Franchise Owners nation-wide gives us the ability to source, compare products, find suppliers and get answers we could never discover on our own. Joining AIA has proven to be a great decision. AIA continues to improve products and services every year and we believe it's the best business model in our industry."

"Adventures in Advertising is the best investment Marketing Works has made in its 12 year history! Better leverage. Better opportunities. Better education. Plus the networking advantages of over 300 colleagues from coast to coast is something you can't put a dollar value on. AIA has made our business simply...better!"

Jeff Poore, Adventures in Advertising/Marketing Works

"Being an independently owned franchise gives me the freedom to run my business they way I see fit, ethically and efficiently, meeting my clients' needs. Our organization is both supportive and thriving and I couldn't be happier."

Mindy Moss, MAS, Adventures in Advertising/Moss Marketing
Redwood City, California

"I have been pleased to be a part of the Adventures in Advertising Family for more than 7 years and have been very satisfied. My business has been successful because of the services we are able to access. The fellow franchise owners have become valued friends and the support from Neenah has been second to none. No longer did I have to worry about funding an order, no matter the size, sourcing products or establishing relationships with our industry's top suppliers.

My only regret is that I have only been with AIA 7 years, not my entire 20 years in our industry!"

Mike Freestone, Adventures in Advertising/Freestone Designs Ltd
Holland, Michigan

"The best business decision I ever made in the promotional products industry was to buy an Adventures in Advertising franchise five years ago! The franchise owners are a great group of people with a vast business knowledge and experience in the industry, and always willing to help the other owners. I never have to tie my money up for orders. I can sell and not be concerned whether the bank will lend me the money for an order, since all orders are underwritten by AIA! The staff support at AIA is always available and phenomenal regardless of whom I need to talk with. The staff adds so much value to my business daily. Would I buy an Adventures in Advertising Franchise again? You bet! I just renewed my contract for another five years."

Barbara Butler, CAS, Adventures in Advertising/Promotions Remembered!

"In the four years that we have been with Adventures in Advertising we have doubled our sales and increased our profit margin! AIA has great systems for handling paperwork that free us up to focus on selling while they allow us complete control over our suppliers and profits. The assistance that AIA's management provides for us is fantastic! Our franchise owners are very professional and always willing to share ideas and information to help one another. We feel that we would not have been able to achieve the level of success that we have today without AIA's support."
