United
Marketing Solutions
United was founded in 1981 as a cooperative
coupon company. Since then we have evolved into one of
America's premiere direct marketing organizations. Through
our network of franchisees we offer local businesses support
in three of the fasting growing advertising media: Direct
Mail, Direct Marketing and, Point of Sale Advertising. The
"Coupon Envelope" is our core product, but unlike many
single product franchise companies, we have developed a
variety of products which allow our franchisees to offer
their clients multiple marketing solutions. Some of the
additional products are as follows: Solo Post Cards, Image
Booklets, New Mover Mailings, and a Restaurant Marketing
Kit.
Local market retailers, service providers, and professionals
have confidence in our franchisees' abilities and value
their service. Once the business is established, many
franchise owners enjoy up to a 90% repeat rate in
cooperative coupon mailings. Over time, our franchisees have
the opportunity to evolve their business to a marketing
consultant by offering the most diversified array of proven
products in direct marketing. Producing and mailing millions
of advertising pieces from our headquarters in Northern
Virginia, United provides full production support for our
franchise network including customer service,
graphics/design, printing, inserting, and mailing.
Men, women, couples or families, we are seeking outgoing
people who enjoy building relationships with their clients.
Previous sales experience is helpful, but not required.
