Minuteman Press Franchise Owner Corey Sanders Transitions from Business Consulting to Printing Industry in Greenville, SC & Joins President's Club
GREENVILLE, S.C., June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Corey Sanders purchased the Minuteman Press franchise in Greenville, SC in September of 2023. With a strong team in place and by following the Minuteman Press system, Corey is joining the President's Club for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2024. Minuteman Press in Greenville is located at 440 DuPont Drive, Greenville, SC 29607
On joining the President's Club, Corey says, 'It's a true honor to be part of the President's Club this year. It takes a lot of effort and work to achieve this milestone, and I am proud of my incredible team for their hard work. This achievement could not be possible without their consistent effort.'
From Business Consulting to Printing
Prior to Minuteman Press, Corey worked in the field of business consulting. He shares, 'Specifically, I worked in the talent development and operations space. This understanding of business and talent consulting was a natural fit into business ownership. Minuteman Press stood out as a great franchise for a couple of reasons. First, the name recognition and resources were a big selling point. While I was confident in how to run a business, I was not well-versed in the printing industry. Having a franchise that provides training and ongoing support was comforting in a career transition. Secondly, the capped royalty system seemed very fair and manageable from the owner side.'
Corey continues, 'The training and support has been extremely helpful and consistent. I have multiple touchpoints within the Minuteman Press franchise including my Field Rep, Regional VP, the home office, and training team. Whenever I need support, I can count on the franchise stepping up to help.'
Growing in Greenville, SC
One of the primary reasons that Corey has been able to hit the ground running in Greenville is that he is active in networking groups and organizations. He shares, 'Greenville is a growing and thriving business community. Once a textile city, Greenville is now one of the fastest growing cities in the country. There is a healthy mix of business industries, which allows us to sell to a wide array of business sectors. Through networking groups, local chamber involvement, and partnering with a handful of nonprofits in the area, we have been able to establish ourselves as a printing staple in the Greenville area.'
Corey adds, 'For example, joining a local BNI chapter has been a great marketing tool for us. It has connected our business with over 50 other business owners to increase our network. We also take advantage of the Internet Marketing Program and direct marketing opportunities.'
The team at Minuteman Press in Greenville takes advantage of those opportunities by delivering high-demand products and services that meet their clients' needs. Corey says, 'Over the last 15 years, our shop has specialized in traditional paper printing. Most of our high-demand products are booklets, postcards, and envelopes, etc. We also offer full mailing services so we get a lot of design, print, and mail projects. We have been working on growing our large format division through both in-house printing and central facility vendors.'
'For me, the first priority for sales growth and success is creating a self-sufficient team that can handle the day-to-day operations of the shop. This is what unlocks your ability to work 'on' your business and not 'in' your business. This will allow for you to focus on sales strategy and creating a plan for growth and scale. In my first year, joining a weekly networking group has added roughly $75,000 in new business. We have also utilized the Internet Marketing Program for added leads.' – Corey Sanders
Rewards & Advice for Others
Since becoming his own boss, Corey is happy to be able to spend more time with his family while also having the freedom to put his own stamp on how he runs his business. He says, 'I think the biggest personal reward is having the freedom to work hard but also prioritize family. With two little ones at home, the ability to create the spaces to get work done but also be a dad is the reason I left 'Corporate America.' On the professional side, the biggest reward is watching my team succeed. Over the last year, we have made a dynamic shift to letting our talented people own their responsibilities. This change to our workplace culture has yielded incredible results, and sharing in those victories is extremely rewarding.'
Corey shares his advice for others, saying, 'My advice would be to not fall into the trap of doing everything. Giving others control and decision-making power can be tough at times but it is critical to your sanity as a business owner and is the key to unlocking growth. My second piece of advice would be to take care of your people. While you are the business owner, your employees will be what ultimately makes your business successful. If you take care of them, they will take care of you.'

Women are getting wealthier — and they don't invest the same way as men
Women's share of retail financial assets in the US and EU is set to reach between 40% to 45% by 2030. Factors like declining marriage rates and higher earnings have played a role in the trend. Commentators say women invest more cautiously than men, focusing on goals and values. Women are becoming richer, and they're changing the face of wealth. According to a report by McKinsey published last month, women control about a third of all retail financial assets in the US and the European Union. By 2030, that proportion is expected to rise to between 40% to 45%, wrote Cristina Catania, global co-convener and European lead for the risk and resilience practice, and Jill Zucker, senior partner and co-leader of McKinsey's global growth transformation service line. The report is based on a survey of about 13,000 American and European investors, nearly half of whom were female financial decision makers. It found that between 2018 and 2023, global wealth rose by 43%, but jumped by 51% for women. Women's expanding control of assets is being driven by a combination of factors, including a continuing decline in marriage rates, the ongoing boost in women's average earnings, demographic trends like longer life expectancies, and a broad shift in attitudes about women managing their own finances. As women become wealthier through investing, it's becoming clearer that they don't approach it the same way as men. "Women are much more risk-aware," Anna-Sophie Hartvigsen, cofounder of financial education and investment platform Female Invest, told Business Insider. "I would like to call it much more realistic in their own ability to invest." She said women are less likely than men to invest emotionally. "On average, men trade a lot more often than women because they believe they can beat the market or they read something in the news, and they get pumped up or afraid, and then they invest based on that," Hartvigsen said. Female investors, in her view, tend to be more calm, more realistic, and better at assessing risk. However, Katie Geery, an advisor at Rise Private Wealth Management, says being more cautious can also hold women back by leading them to miss out on opportunities to build wealth. "It is important to work with a trusted financial advisor who understands your risk tolerance and can walk you through making well-educated investment decisions based on your long-term goals," she told BI. The aims of investing also sometimes differ between men and women. "Women prefer to invest toward achieving specific goals rather than chasing the highest returns," said Avanti Shetye, financial planner at Wealthwyzr. Geery said female investors tend to be more focused on philanthropy and gifting. They often consider their values when buying stock and want their purchases to help make a better impact on the world. "Women often seek financial advisors who are empathetic and take the time to get to know them on a more personal level to gain a deeper understanding of their goals and values," she said. On Female Invest, Hartvigsen said the principles its members care about the most include climate, especially a firm's carbon footprint, and diversity in leadership, in terms of a board having a good gender balance. For Shetye, it's important to start investing early. "Women tend to be primary caregivers for children or aging parents and often take unpaid time off," she said. "Not only that, women statistically live longer than men, which implies that women would need to invest as much as they can as early as possible so that their portfolios last them through retirement." Hartvigsen said long-term financial planning is vital: "When you do that, it doesn't matter what happens today." Both agree that this plan should be grounded in expert advice. "Working with a financial planner whose planning process is rooted in financial education can help provide comfort and security to stay consistent even in the roughest of markets," Shetye said. But she also believes that practice is more important than perfection. "You are never going to know everything there is to know about investing," Shetye said. "The key is consistency, and time will do the heavy lifting." Hartvigsen advises her clients to invest monthly on the same day and to diversify their investments. "If you do that, historically, it has been near impossible not to make money in the long run." Read the original article on Business Insider 登入存取你的投資組合
