Franchise Option for Studios
DHS offers a franchise arrangement to photography studios to process clients from our national accounts. Commercial studios well versed in digital photography can benefit significantly by providing dating headshots to the literally millions of online daters looking to improve their online profiles. We provide an easy to use reservations system for you to input your available schedule. Clients only see the dates and times you set aside as "available". All reservations are handled either online or by our telephone operators. You never have to contact the clients to set up your shoots. Our system will automatically email you with daily sales and the client information for your shooting calendar. You control your shooting calendar!

Franchisees also have the ability to add additional photographers to your shooting schedule to increase your profit potential! Depending on the size of your studio, our franchises have the ability to add additional photographers to the shooting schedule. Thus, when demand is sufficient, you have the ability add additional "shoots" to your reservation system! You hire your own additional photographers and reap the benefits of multiple concurrent photo shoots. Our New York Studio frequently has three photographers shooting simultaneously!

We currently have studios in most major markets, as well as, an affiliate program to process smaller markets. Our expansion is continuing at a rapid pace. The major markets are divided into specific geographic areas. Franchises are awarded on a "first-come-first-served basis" after meeting the necessary requirements. If you / your company meet the requirements and there is an opening in your geographic region then you will be considered for one of our franchises.

Your compensation is based on direct commission from the individuals we drive through your studio from our national clients, affiliates and partners. If you don't get paid then we don't get paid. As an example, our experience indicates that a single national dating site can drive upwards of $5,500 of additional revenue per week per photographer can be generated by a studio in a major market on a part-time basis. This is a perfect way to utilize your studio during down time to drive additional revenue and increase exposure. Clients who visit your studio for a dating headshot are more likely to return for a portrait/ headshot session …and they are more likely to tell their friends.

Each franchise will be given secure on-line access to our on-line reservation / scheduling system to control their shooting schedule. This on-line system includes a complete listing of all clients and billings which your studio processes. In addition, franchises will receive an email notification once every 24 hours detailing the daily sales for their studio.
