In this blog, we highlight the inspiring stories of two standout franchisees, Michelle Bottino and Sal Calautti, and how they are driving growth and success in their communities.
Michelle Bottino’s Success Story – Fully Promoted – St. Charles, IL
Michelle Bottino acquired the Fully Promoted franchise in St. Charles, Illinois, in 2018. With a background in sales and marketing, she quickly applied her expertise to grow her business into a million-dollar operation. However, her success is not just measured in profits — it is in the meaningful community impact she has made.
In 2023, Michelle launched an innovative internship program designed to support adults with disabilities, providing them with valuable skills, community interaction, and paid work opportunities. Her program partners with six local schools and organizations, and it has already seen four graduates complete the internship. One inspiring success story from her program is that of Callie, Michelle’s first intern and now an employee at Fully Promoted St. Charles. Despite living with autism and hearing impairment, Callie operates the heat press and helps with production tasks at the store. Michelle also supports Callie in pursuing her own dream of opening an Etsy shop to sell her crafts.
Michelle’s dedication to the community earned her Fully Promoted’s Humanitarian Award, a testament to her commitment to improving lives while running a successful business.
Sal and Jen Calautti’s Success Story – Fully Promoted – Southern NH
Sal and Jen Calautti, owners of Fully Promoted Southern New Hampshire, have also made a significant mark within their community and business. They recently hosted their first-ever Client Appreciation Event, which attracted over 200 attendees. The event featured vendor partners such as SanMar and S&S Activewear and was praised for its execution and impact. By bringing together clients and partners, the Calauttis strengthened their relationships, fostering long-term loyalty and business growth.
Their success has not gone unnoticed. Fully Promoted Southern NH won the “Best of 603” award for the second year in a row, further solidifying their position as trusted local business leaders. This recognition, combined with their commitment to community engagement, has helped them boost their franchise’s visibility and reputation.
