Some key life events may include the birth of one’s baby, Anniversary, milestone birthdays, Weddings, Holidays, Graduations, Christenings, Engagement parties and so on. The list of opportunities to get your camera out and snap away is endless.  There is a real demand for top quality photography do be undertaken at events just mentioned, and this is exactly why photography franchises are excelling, and why you could too. Running a photograph franchise gives the enthusiast the opportunity to deliver something that will take pride of place on the mantelpiece for many years. A photography franchise is often inexpensive to start as you rarely need premises. As a photography franchisee, you will be ensuring that your clients are receiving the best package possible that allows them to sit back and enjoy their evening/day without the worry of ensuring they have quality photos to look back at.

Everywhere you look, photography dominates! This is mainly down to the huge influence of social media and how this has enhanced the interest and necessity for both uploading and sharing images, allowing novices the opportunity to show off their skills. This has made photography ‘cool’ and ‘relevant’ and the younger generation more so than before are keen snappers.

Professional photographers are certainly taking advantage of this new passion for photography and picture capturing, and in doing so are offering a diverse range of themes and styles to accommodate every client’s requirements.

As previously mentioned, the wedding photography industry is huge for potential photography franchisees, and with this there is revenue to be made through offering different unique shots, closeups and filters to make that special day even greater. This is backed up with the average photography spend at a wedding now believed to be more than £2,000. It’s not just the happy couple to be that are willing to spend good money on photography, a photography franchise allows you to take advantage of marketing companies and organisations that have big marketing spends and require top quality photography to promote both their products and services. This opens a huge pool of opportunity for would be photography franchisees.

Professional photographs aren’t the only ‘photograph franchise’ opportunity available, photobooths have really taken off within the last 10 years and has opened an opportunity for franchisees to really benefit from. Photobooths are usually stocked with accessories and props for party goes to sit in and have polarised images taken so that they have a souvenir from their day/evening.

The fact that most people have camera-phones in their pocket allows opportunities within franchising for clients to download photos onto their phones and to then print themselves, making the experience even more straightforward. A photobooth franchisee can earn a good income from maintaining the machines, replenishing them and delivering them to the destination.

Going through the franchise route helps as you have the backing of an already established photography franchise. The franchise agreement will allow you to be your own boss and to launch your business model that has already been proven and has a track record of success.
