Carrollton, Texas-based FASTSIGNS says its co-brand and conversion programs continue to be top growth drivers for the global franchise company, which now has more than 590 sign, graphics and visual communications centers working under its name in nine countries.

It says independent print and photofinishing operators in the U.S. are behind much of the growth; 12 co-brand franchise agreements have been signed just in the past eight months. That program allows independent business operators with print-related services to add the FASTSIGNS brand and full suite of solutions, while retaining control of their existing business.

FASTSIGNS International will be sharing some of its success stories at THE NBM SHOW in Philadelphia August 28 – 30 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. For more information on the co-branding program visit http://www.fastsigns.com and for more information on THE NBM SHOW visit www.thenbmshow.com.
