2006 : CLIX Names Baum Realty Group, Inc. Exclusive National Brokerage Company October 11, 2006 CLIX, the rapidly-growing Atlanta-based digital portrait photography studio franchise has recently hired Baum Realty Group, Inc., as their exclusive national real estate brokerage company. CLIX offers competitively priced, high-quality boutique style portraits delivered to customers before they leave the store. As CLIX continues to expand across the country, the company has enlisted Baum Realty Group to help obtain properties for the growing number of franchisees. “Baum Realty Group has significantly aided us in our expansion and is one of our first team member contacts once someone becomes a franchisee,” said David Asarnow, president and CEO of CLIX. “By developing a strategic methodology for our site selection and utilizing cutting edge technology, Baum Realty Group is enabling our franchisees to secure the best locations for their studios,” states Asarnow. “They have really driven our expansion and we are glad to announce our national exclusive brokerage relationship.” “The collaboration with CLIX is very effective for all parties involved,” said Phil Baugh, associate at Baum. “Thus far, we have been able to find great properties for a number of franchisees and we are confident this success will continue as CLIX expands nationally.” CLIX saw the opportunity to change the face of portrait photography from dull to “fun, friendly, hip and now,” which has become the company’s unofficial tag phrase. Baum Realty Group was a natural choice with years of experience in retail real estate, representing high-profile clients such as Starbucks, Chipotle, Jimmy John’s and FedEx Kinko’s. CLIX has demonstrated it is a brand well-positioned to grow into a nationally recognized company. CLIX’s unique, laid back, yet professional attitude about portrait photography has attracted franchisees across the country. “We were drawn to CLIX because it’s a company that prides itself on a fun and friendly experience,” said Stephanie Westphal, a Ventura, C.A., CLIX franchisee. “CLIX is different from ordinary portrait studios. We will not only offer customers portraits but will also photograph events such as proms, daycare centers and schools. We are looking forward to playing a meaningful role in the community’s life.” First established in 1999, the CLIX business model offers three distinct revenue streams for potential franchisees – a retail-based portrait studio; a protected territory for on-site special event photography; and an on-site assisted or do-it-yourself photo imaging and scrapbooking design services. According to CLIX, a franchise with multi-faceted yet interconnected revenue streams is unprecedented in the industry. CLIX studios occupy strip center sites ranging from 1,400 – 2,000 SF in regional retail corridors located near family oriented co-tenants. The company currently employs 70 people at 12 stores in seven states including Michigan, California, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and New Hampshire.

Baugh has been instrumental in developing Baum Realty Group's national brokerage practice, while Secher has represented a diverse clientele of landlords and tenants for numerous years.
