What’s on the horizon?
We are expanding internationally—we have a rep in Canada, and a franchisee in England, who will develop the rest of that country once he gets up and running. We’re also going to be coming out with a GPS device for kids. Marc has been working on it with a couple of companies, but the technology is not there yet. Also, we’ve come up with two new product lines for our franchisees: school photography and sports and event photography. We had so many schools like our photography they wanted us to do their school pictures. Both are additional opportunities for our franchisees. http://www.franchisetimes.com/2005Grew.html
