Allegra Marketing Print Mail named in top 100 franchises for women

Allegra Marketing Print Mail has been recognized by Franchise Business Review as one of the Top Franchises for Women in 2025 — an honor based entirely on the feedback of female franchise members from across the network.

Franchise Business Review, a research firm that conducts independent surveys of franchisee satisfaction, provides rankings based solely on franchisee satisfaction and performance. Franchise Business Review publishes its rankings of top franchises semi-annually in its “Guide to Today’s Top Franchises,” as well as industry reports throughout the year that highlight research on the top franchises in specific sectors.

“Franchising is a fantastic option for women seeking business ownership on a full- or part-time basis,” said Michelle Rowan, president and COO of Franchise Business Review. “With so many franchise opportunities to choose from, it’s critical to do in-depth research to understand how satisfied current female franchise members are with the training and support, work/life balance, financial opportunity, culture, and leadership of any brand they’re considering before making an investment.”

Rowan continued, “When you look at the brands on this year’s list of the Top Franchises for Women, 88% of women said they enjoy being part of their franchise organizations, and three out of four said they would recommend their franchise to others — powerful feedback for women considering the transition to business ownership.”

Allegra was one of 350 franchise brands evaluated in Franchise Business Review’s survey of nearly 9,000 female franchise owners. Only 100 brands earned a spot on this year’s prestigious list of Top Franchises for Women.

Franchisees of Allegra Marketing Print Mail were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including leadership, training and support, financial opportunity, and work/life balance.

“We are ecstatic that Allegra was recognized as a top franchise opportunity for women by Franchise Business Review,” said Lisa Buehler, president of marketing and visual communications for Alliance Franchise Brands, franchisor of Allegra. “As a company, we are dedicated to helping women flourish in the visual communications industry and find their path to business ownership through franchising. I have experienced this firsthand, as someone who started as a female owner of an Allegra Marketing Print Mail franchise.”

Buehler concluded, “The opportunity, support, and industry insight provided to Allegra owners is phenomenal, and all of these tools ultimately helped me grow my business and eventually become a resource to all of our franchise members in my current role as president. We look forward to upholding this commitment for years to come.”
