Minuteman Press Franchise Owners Abel & Christine Corral Join President’s Club in Denver, CO
Abel Corral and his wife Christine have owned their Minuteman Press franchise in Denver, CO since February of 2020. Six years after taking the leap into entrepreneurship, Abel and Christine officially joined the Minuteman Press International President’s Club for achieving over $1 million in gross sales for the year ending 2025.
For Abel, reaching the President’s Club for Minuteman Press in Denver is especially meaningful. “It was the goal from day one, and to reach it means a lot,” Abel says. “There were some obstacles along the way so I’m glad we kept going and can see with our own eyes that the hard work pays off!”
Building the Business Through Relationships, Marketing & Teamwork
One of Abel’s biggest lessons over the past six years has been the importance of getting out into the community and building relationships. “It’s important to get out and meet people and introduce the business,” he says. “People like to do business with people they like and can trust.”
Abel also credits the Minuteman Press Internet Marketing Program, customer referrals, his team, and ongoing regional support as important contributors to their growth. “In general, the Internet Marketing Program is essential. Customer referrals have started to kick in and help a lot at a $0 cost per lead. Having a solid team is necessary and a gamechanger; however, it took us a few iterations to get the right configuration. The Minuteman Press regional support team is also a huge help to guide us, bounce ideas around, and answer questions along the way.”
When it comes to marketing, Abel believes in taking a diversified approach rather than relying on one particular strategy. “I do everything I can from a marketing standpoint—SEO, social media, networking, direct mail—and try new things every year with different industries,” he says.
Finding Opportunities for Continued Growth
The Denver center handles a diverse range of printing and marketing projects, with demand changing depending on the needs of its customers. “Our high-demand products seem to vary from digital printing to marketing materials for indoor or outdoor events,” Abel says. “If I could choose, I’d really like more schools, events, conferences, and things of that sort, along with the products and services that come with those requests.”
Abel’s marketing instincts come naturally from his career before Minuteman Press. For much of his professional life, he sold paid media advertising, including television commercials, radio, and digital advertising. As for how he found Minuteman Press, Abel jokes that the franchise may have found him. “I think Minuteman Press chose me because they presented a few opportunities to me that kept me interested enough to keep learning about the industry. Eventually, I saw the light!”
What ultimately appealed to Abel was the business model itself. “Most interesting to me was a B2B-focused business, normal Monday through Friday business hours—with exceptions, of course—and the ever-so-important margins, which seemed healthy enough.”
Support When It Matters Most
Abel credits the training and support provided by Minuteman Press with helping him navigate the learning curve of business ownership, particularly during those critical early years. “The support has been outstanding! It was especially crucial in the beginning when we needed it most,” Abel says. “Kudos to corporate, and especially those who have been helping me from day one, including Todd, Sky, and Jack.”
That support has complemented Abel’s own efforts to establish himself within Denver’s active local business community. “I think it’s important to get involved and see where you feel like there is a good fit and synergy,” he says. “I hit my stride with some neighborhood and lead-generating organizations.”
Entrepreneurship and the Freedom to Be Present
While joining the President’s Club represents an important professional achievement, one of the biggest rewards of business ownership for Abel is more personal: having greater control over his schedule and being present for his family and community. “My wife Christine and I are very active outside of work in our parish and with our children’s school and sports,” Abel says. “The biggest reward is being in a position where I can schedule important things into my day and be involved with those important things outside of work. Having a good setup of systems and processes, along with a great team, makes that possible.”
Keep Going, Keep Changing, Keep Growing
After reaching the President’s Club, Abel’s message to fellow business owners is centered on persistence and being willing to adapt. “Every situation, Minuteman Press center, and owner is so different; however, we are faced with similar challenges,” he says. “If I had to offer advice, I would encourage new owners to keep going, not be afraid to change things that aren’t working, and keep investing time in the things that are working.”
For Abel and Christine, joining the President’s Club is an accomplishment worth celebrating—but it is far from the finish line. “Entrepreneurship has taught me an immense amount, and I’m glad to be here,” Abel says. “We still have a long way to go and grow; I am not stopping at President’s Club! I hope the experience that I’ve gained over the years can provide insight to help us grow and scale over the next few years, even faster and further than before.”
Anytime you need support or anytime you want help, there is a whole network behind you… When you need them they are right there.
I had enough of working for other people, so I decided to look at franchise opportunities because I really always wanted my own business, from the moment I graduated and throughout my career. I evaluated four franchise systems and it was clear to me that Minuteman Press International was the best one for me based on two primary reasons: 1. Some of the active franchise owners I talked to told me, ‘You’d better like computers;’ and 2. ‘You’d better like marketing.’ So for me, if those are the biggest ‘negatives’ it makes a lot of sense to buy into the Minuteman Press International product
It makes my job easy from a marketing standpoint and from a pricing standpoint. It is really lovely and easy to use.
We were looking to work in our own business, but did not know where to start. We ended up going to a franchise show where we met the folks at Minuteman Press International. They had the most impressive presentation, the best training program, and the most comprehensive support we saw for an affordable franchise. So, we went in that direction and boom—32 years later, here we are!
Becoming a Minuteman Press Franchise owner 10 years ago is definitely one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my entire life. I had researched many other companies and different industries for a while, but none of them gave me the level of confidence that I needed to motivate me and move forward that Minuteman Press did. Once my decision was made, and we moved forward with training and opening up my center, they gave me a great solid foundation, and second to none ongoing support to this day. I love my local field representatives; we have a great relationship with Dan Byers and Steve Szymanski. They have my back any day and any time. Our success as owners is their success as well. I came to this beautiful country 33 years ago without a dollar in my pocket, no skills, no academic degrees, no English, not even a high school diploma. Just a young teenager at that time, running away from a very conflicted civil war in El Salvador, looking for a better life. All I can say now is God is great! Thank God for the vision of the founding fathers of this great franchise Minuteman Press International, and the legacy that has been passed on and is reflected through our CEO Bob Titus and the entire team all across the globe.
My favorite part about this industry is the variety and the people. We get to work across so many different industries it's never a dull moment. We work with manufacturers, bakers, churches and even a company that does custom cranes to repair railroads. I love the relationships that we build with our clients as they grow and evolve their businesses.
I bought my Minuteman Press franchise when I was in my 20s. I absolutely love the business model and the expansion into promotional products. Networking comes naturally to me and Minuteman Press is a huge help when it comes to training and support. I also love the camaraderie that I have with other Minuteman Press owners, who are always willing to listen. From corporate to colleagues, we are all in this together, and I couldn’t ask for a better support system.
From the day I started over ten years ago, everything began to move towards digital printing. I knew that Minuteman Press International was following the industry very closely and did their homework on printing trends and innovations. I followed their direction they gave us, and we have extended our business not only into digital printing but also promotional items as well. I am in charge, but I also have all of the resources at the national and local levels thanks to Minuteman Press. We all share ideas and you get the pulse of how other centers do business, and that is very helpful. We are all part of the same franchise family and the owners who I contact are very open and supportive. My advice: Stay within the franchise system, but be who you are. I find satisfaction with Minuteman Press.
I felt that after 27 years of service at my previous job, it was time for me to change careers. After praying and seeking advice, I took a leap of faith and left my job. Once I completed graduate school in 2016 with a degree in management, I felt ready to hone in on what I had learned from school and the skills I had obtained over the years. I wanted to be my own boss and I knew Minuteman Press was the right franchise for what I wanted to do. I was comforted in knowing that Minuteman Press had been around for over 40 years and the company was well-established with a great business model and structure.
I left the retail industry behind for Minuteman Press, which enabled me to work regular Monday through Friday business hours. I also love the short reorder cycle that print provides. When I was working in retail, I would sit in the store and wait for customers to come in. With Minuteman Press, customers will reorder all of their materials faster and I am able to spend my time getting out there and growing my business.
