International expansion continues for Xpress Art
May 11th 2010
There seems to be no stopping the global expansion of Xpress Art. Latest on the list of regions to embrace the Xpress Art canvas printing franchise is West Africa with a new master franchise for the region. Ahmad Jichi has been appointed to control the franchise from his business HQ in Lagos Nigeria.
Ahmad was quick to realize the potential of the Xpress Art business model and contracted to obtain the master franchise for the region very quickly. He is looking forward to opening his franchise pilot in Lagos by July.
Once again the value of having Xerox as a preferred partner in the venture has ensured that logistical and technical support for the equipment is available easily.

New High Proft Products Added to Xpress Art Range of Services
March 29, 2010
Xpress Art has introduced two further innovative and desireable products to the range available for its franchisees to sell.
The first is a complete range of sizes of "triptych" images where pictures can be automatically split across 3 or more canvases to create a truly stunning and contemporary effect. These work particularly well with landscape or seascape images and are in great demand by interior designers with items selling at a premium to normal canvas prints thus increasing franchisee profits.
The second product is an acrylic mounting system for large photographic images where the customer is able to buy the wall mounted acrylic kit and then insert a large photo print produced for them by Xpress Art franchisees. This system has the benefit of utilising the franchisees print equipment in another way and providing their customers with alternatives to traditional canvas prints. The kits are proving highly popular and profitable for the franchisees. Once again Xpress Art have been able to procure the system for their franchisees at massive discounts enabling them to be extremely competitive on price whilst still reationing great profit margins.The Xpress Art franchise in great demand by shopping centres accross all of UK

On-canvas printing is hugely popular in Irelnad and with the Xpress Art business model I had an immediate route into the retail market. It is being so well received here in Galway. I am the regional franchisee for the area and I am looking forward to developing further centres in the near future."
Richard O'Leary is the Irish master franchisee for Xpress Art and he had this to say " Galway seems to be like all the other locations we have opened in Ireland with a great deal of immediate interest as well as immediate sales being done from day one.
