Photography Franchise News - March 2011

Portrait Bookings

One of our initiatives to help our franchisees get business is to advertise on various voucher sites.

This week we have signed twenty contracts for different studios to have up to six offers per year. So far each offer has produced an average of eighty portrait sittings each, so this is going to keep the studios pretty busy.

The average per sitting is currently running at over £700 which, if kept up, this initiative will create more than one million pounds worth of portraiture for our franchisees!

“I always get a motivational boost at our franchise days - today I added a 7 chain hair and beauty business, a large insurance broker with national coverage in the classic car business and a high end local hair salon to the gift pack list”
Peter Evans

“About to go and visit a potential corporate partner feeling very motivated after yesterday! The hard work is just beginning now, but all the stepping stones have been put in place by Elaine and David's hard work before hand - surely now it is just down to each of us to prove we are the best and most successful photographers in the country!! Look forward to sharing lots of success stories at the training day later in the year - good luck everyone!”
