| Training | When we say you need no previous photography experience to become a successful CLIX franchisee, we mean it. Our franchisee training program covers everything you will need to know to run your business successfully. Your initial training begins with a week of intensive classroom and hands-on training at our training and support center. We'll teach you everything from operations and execution to the technical aspects of your on-location events business. During week two, your training will focus on real-world training in studio operations, boutique-style photography, studio software systems, and portrait studio sales, plus marketing and advertising. During week three and on-location week four, we will add a customized emphasis as necessary for each franchisee. | We have an excellent training program to prepare you for all aspects of running a successful studio. And, don't worry, once we take the training wheels off, we'll still run beside you...ready to give you the extra support you need, even if it's just some cheers of encouragement! |
| Support | Newsletter, Meetings, Toll-free phone line, Grand opening, Internet, Security/safety procedures, Field operations/evaluations, Purchasing cooperatives | We have a fabulous staff standing by to help you with, well, whatever. From HR to PR, and everything in between, we're here for you. Being in a technology-driven industry, we also have monthly conference calls and webinars to help you stay on top of your game. |
| Marketing | Co-op advertising, Ad slicks, National media, Regional advertising | Luckily, our fearless leader comes from a background in strategic marketing. She'll still tell you that it's her "day job", as she can't seem to shut that part of her brain off. What does this mean to you? Simply, it means you'll always have marketing materials, strategy, and promotions at your fingertips that is one step ahead of the rest. |
