Dan Carlson started Adventures in Advertising in 1982 in Seattle. The company acted as an independent distributor of logo merchandise, but soon moved into the design and consulting side of the promotional products business. Adventures in Advertising franchisees work with organizations and corporations, helping them put together marketing programs involving promotional items such as T-shirts, mouse pads and pens bearing their logos. Franchisees can run the business out of their homes, in an office or as an add-on to another business.
The Executive Business Maintenance franchise program gives you the opportunity to be your own boss, to own your own business, and to maintain and grow that business. You don’t provide the actual cleaning services " you assign a professional janitorial firm to service the client. The services you sell and coordinate are part of a huge market for commercial cleaning, which are required by most businesses on a regular basis. We are looking for dedicated individuals to assist us in taking the EBM concept to the next level. We are sure you will find the work to be rewarding, professional, and worthwhile, just as we have over the years. We look forward to talking to you soon about the EBM franchise program and what it takes to become part of our network of professionals!
