Training & Support
SUPERIOR SUPPORT
Our franchisees benefit from our years of experience in the imaging and photography industry. The staff at CLIX is dedicated to the success of each and every franchisee. Once you become a franchisee, operations support starts right away with our national site location and lease negotiation program, and graduates to store design and construction. We like to call this A Studio in a Box.
Our support consists of all the hardware, software, procedures, methods, tools and equipment you will use to profitably, efficiently and effectively operate a CLIX franchise. The CLIX system gives you a structure in which to operate and a roadmap towards success. Following the unique, proven and proprietary CLIX system, you will avoid the guesswork of a typical new business owner and prevent costly mistakes.
COMPREHENSIVE 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 in Rochester, New York. We'll teach you everything from operations and marketing to the technical aspects of the 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. During week three and on-location week four, we will add a customized emphasis as necessary for each franchisee.
As a CLIX franchisee, our focus on training and continuous improvement will allow you to become a highly competent portrait studio operator, as well as an outstanding businessperson in a relatively short period of time.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
Our cutting-edge digital equipment lets us create unique images while allowing the customer to select, retouch and enhance photos, make reprints and enlargements, and then take home the package the same day. By combining state-of-the-art technology with professional photography techniques, CLIX maximizes customer satisfaction.

Why Clix?
MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS
A CLIX franchise is more than a portrait studio – MUCH MORE! We’ll train you to make the most of the customer’s portrait sitting by making them the “star.” You’ll be working with children, families, groups, and even pets; and will benefit from word-of-mouth advertising and repeat business. Our system produces superior photos, ensuring customer satisfaction and increased sales.
A second revenue stream is on-site photography which we call the On-Location Events Team. We'll show you how to establish strong working relationships with dance studios, day-care and pre-school centers, primary schools, high schools, fraternal organizations, charitable functions, recreational centers and sports programs. You’ll be able to deliver that same high-energy CLIX experience anywhere in the community, an experience your customers will long remember.
Your CLIX studio will also include Digital Design Stations where your customers can creatively modify and adapt their own photos - removing red eye, adding borders, splashing in exciting backgrounds. This unique in-store feature will allow customers to create prints, scrapbook pages and a variety of other must-have accessories, including creating their own photobooks. Easy to use and simple to maintain, the CLIX Digital Design Station will draw even more customers to your location.
One of our newest ideas is the Portrait Party Concept. How many little (and big) girls have dreamed of being a model at one time or another? CLIX shows you how to tap into the lucrative and popular market for children's and teen birthday parties where you provide a real live photo shoot for the birthday girl and her friends. At CLIX, we continually work to help our franchisees expand their market penetration and potential.
Our success is wholly dependent on the success of our franchisees and we are committed to helping them make the most of this opportunity.

Are You a Good Fit for Clix?
Photography experience is not required. Most current CLIX franchisees have no photography background. Instead, they had a desire to build a fun, community- based business that they could grow and manage. We are looking for people with personality, people with a passion to help others and a strong drive to learn and succeed. If you have these ingredients, CLIX can supply the rest.
We believe that proper management is critical to the success of your business. As a business owner, we urge you to be active in the day-to-day operation of your business, particularly during the initial growth phases. We strongly recommend you operate your store and learn the business before turning it over to a manager. The goal is to hire competent employees and surround yourself with good people, empowering your staff so that the business is not completely dependent upon you.
