Inside Our School Photo Bootcamp
At TSS Photography, we believe our franchisees should never have to figure things out alone. From picture day prep to product fulfillment, we’ve built our system around efficiency, support—and partnership. That’s why our connection to Candid Color Systems (CCS) our parent company and exclusive professional photo lab and technology partner, is such a game-changer.
And nowhere was that more evident than during last week’s School Photo Bootcamp, a multi-day, in-person training hosted by CCS—completely free for TSS franchisees and CCS customers.
A Unique Training Opportunity—With Zero Cost to Owners
Many photo labs offer training… but they often come with a price tag. What makes the CCS Bootcamp stand out isn’t just the hands-on depth—it’s that it’s offered at no cost to our franchisees. That’s the power of a true partnership.
Attendees received practical, workflow-driven education that directly translates to faster photo processing, higher sales, and happier customers. No fluff. No theory. Just usable systems and real-time demos designed to help franchisees earn more and work smarter.
Real Tools. Real Results.
The Bootcamp covered the entire pipeline of a school picture day—from prep and capture to gallery delivery and service items. Franchisees rolled up their sleeves and got to:
Practice setting up photo lines with pro lighting and gear
Capture live test shots using CCS’s proprietary PhotoMatch™ system
Automate gallery creation to reduce manual labor
Learn how to pitch schools with pricing clarity and service confidence
Understand CORE—our built-in e-commerce system—and how it supports real-time marketing with campaigns, offers, and seasonal discounts
Why It Matters to Potential Franchisees
When you join TSS Photography, you’re not just buying a name—you’re gaining access to a fully integrated end-to-end system, backed by a U.S.-based lab, custom software suite, and a team of experts committed to your success.
That means:
You don’t need to be a tech guru or a fulfillment wizard—we’ve got your back
You’re not sending files off to a mystery lab—you’re part of the CCS family
You’re not paying extra for the kind of education that actually moves the needle
This training was just one example of the added value our franchisees receive. And as we continue expanding our national footprint, these opportunities will only grow.
