Turning Point Communications and ampm Convenience Stores Renew Agreement

Turning Point Communications and ampm convenience stores association continues through 2006 to expand African American franchise ownership through business strategies and cross-marketing opportunities.

Los Angeles, CA, July 28, 2005 --(PR.com)-- Turning Point Communications, the leading media company that informs, inspires, and influences African American small business owners, announced today that it renewed its business association with ampm convenience stores for another year. 

Turning Point Communications, parent company of Turning Point Magazine and whose business units include the African American Business Summit and the Access to Success Business Tour® had entered into a historic association with ampm convenience stores in 2004 to expand African American franchise ownership through business strategies and cross-marketing opportunities. 

Within the year, Turning Point Communications has made significant investments to present strategically marketed opportunities to African Americans who were serious about expanding their portfolios into franchising. Print advertising, e-mail, outreach and direct response campaigns yielded an overwhelming amount of professional responses from Turning Point’s small business dominance and market reach. This allowed ampm convenience stores the ability to increase their number of franchise owner applicants. Now with the addition of another year, ampm convenience stores and these applicants will work closely together in moving forward to franchise ownership and ampm will have the opportunity to receive even more qualified African American applicants.

"We are very pleased to be working with ampm convenience stores for another year," said Pat Means, President of Turning Point Communications. "We truly believe in the success of ampm to be able to present viable opportunities to African Americans in franchise ownership. Together, we will continue to produce a results-oriented process that supports accomplishing that objective."

Through Turning Point Communications' ability to reach this elite market of small business owners, to be able to consult with them and provide recommendations for yet another year, ampm will have more of a direct outlet to connect with those business owners who are serious about expanding into franchise ownership.
