Fully Promoted Named a 2022 Top 40 Distributor by Counselor Magazine

For the 13th year, franchise brand, Fully Promoted, is ranked as a top performer in the promotional products industry by the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI).

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (September 9, 2022) – Fully Promoted®, the world’s largest branded apparel and promotional products franchise, was named a 2022 Counselor® Top 40 distributor by the Advertising Specialty Institute®(ASI), the largest technology, media, marketing and education organization serving the $23.2 billion advertising specialty industry. Fully Promoted was ranked No. 20 on ASI’s exclusive ranking of the largest distributors in the industry, based on 2021 sales.

This is the thirteenth year Fully Promoted has made the annual list by the industry support organization. ASI said revenue success was driven by the company’s return to its core business of apparel and hard goods after focusing on personal protective gear during the pandemic, and by its expansion into Canada with the addition of eight new franchises since September 2021. 

“We rose to many challenges in the past year; our team worked together and supported each other to get it done,” said Mike Brugger, President of Fully Promoted. “Our franchisees are very collaborative and share their resources and expertise with each other, and they receive even more support through their association with United Franchise Group.”

Fully Promoted is part of the United Franchise Group™ (UFG) family of affiliated brands, with almost four decades in the franchising industry and a global network of brands, suppliers, manufacturers, and vendors.

“ASI is delighted to congratulate Fully Promoted for once again making our prestigious list of the promo industry’s most successful companies,” said Timothy M. Andrews, ASI president and chief executive officer. “Two years of COVID taught us many lessons – foremost among them is the certainty that we can triumph over anything. Through the Counselor awards, we’re honoring our entire industry’s fortitude, self-reliance, and success.”

The Top 40 Distributors and Top 40 Suppliers were revealed at an exclusive ceremony at the ASI Show® in Chicago. The Top 40 companies were also profiled in the annual State of the Industry issue from ASI’s Counselor magazine.
