5 Qualities of a Successful Image360 Center Owner
Our Image360 Center owners come from a wide range of backgrounds, yet they all share common qualities that contribute to their success. Here are the five key traits we look for:
Attentive to Detail
Securing a sale is just the beginning of the process. Once you’ve gained an order, you’ll need to meticulously manage it through design, production, delivery or installation, and billing. Attention to detail ensures that every project meets the high standards expected by your clients and maintains the reputation of your Image360 Center.
-
Outgoing
A successful Image360 franchisee genuinely enjoys meeting new people. Whether at your Image360 Center, during sales calls, in service clubs, as a volunteer, or even when waiting in line at the grocery store, being outgoing and approachable helps build strong relationships and a loyal customer base. -
Problem Solvers
As an Image360 franchisee, you’ll become a trusted advisor to business owners, marketers, facility managers, and event planners. They will seek your expertise to find better ways to promote, inform, or direct through graphics, signage, and displays. Your ability to understand their needs, discuss various options, and guide them to the best solutions is crucial.
-
Multitaskers
While you don't need to be an expert in every aspect of your Center’s operations, you’ll need a working familiarity with all facets of your business. From sales and marketing to production and customer service, being able to juggle multiple tasks effectively is essential for running a successful Image360 franchise. -
Persistent
To maintain a steady stream of revenue for your Image360 Center, persistence is key. You’ll need to pursue new prospects and regularly follow up with existing clients to check on new opportunities, provide cost estimates, and solicit orders. Your Image360 website and the digital marketing techniques we support play a vital role in this ongoing process.
A Typical Day for an Image360 Franchise Member
Throughout the course of a regular business day, your daily activities will vary. Here are some typical tasks you might prioritize:
- Manage Your Team: Recruit, train, and manage your team. Image360 Centers typically start with two employees (including you) and can grow to over 10. New to this? Don’t sweat it, we provide support.
- Pursue Leads: Some prospects will walk through your doors. However, most of your high-value clients are captured through networking and referrals. Our Home Office Business Development Coaches will train you on every step of the process and how to keep your clients coming back. Additional business will come from the many promotional programs we administer in support of our Franchise Members. One example? Your locally branded Image360 website.
- Signage Production: You and your team will design and produce many graphics, signs and displays in-house. Other fabrications will be outsourced — most often to well-qualified vendors vetted for you by the Image360 network.
- Equipment Needs: We stay on top of the newest equipment and latest software. Better yet, we use the power of our network to negotiate advantageous prices if you need upgrades. And, on top of that, we offer ongoing technology help-desk support.
- Travel and Networking: Occasional travel to attend Franchise Member conventions and other networking opportunities to grow as an Image360 owner. You’ll attend training sessions and network with fellow franchise owners.

"When I bought our center, now almost 7 years ago, I also looked at an independent sign shop. I knew right away that I would have been alone on an island if I had gone that route and didn’t want that risk. I am still glad that I choose Image360 and you all to partner with. I have never been or felt alone."
