What is DIGIKIDS®?
DIGIKIDS® is an onsite child ID company that offers the most advanced, effective and affordable child safety ID available today. The services you provide will be at customer or public locations such as business-sponsored safety events, schools and preschools, with only your business support functions operated out a small area in your home. Because DIGIKIDS® is home-based; there is little or no overhead and no set schedule - you work when you want to!

What type of franchise opportunities are available?
We offer single unit franchises and Master Franchise Area Development agreements to qualified individuals.

What type of person are you looking for?
We are looking for exceptional individuals that would like to generate a great income while providing a much-needed service for the community. You should enjoy working with children and be willing to accept the responsibility of having your own business - and setting your own hours. It is important that you have enthusiasm for our product coupled with a desire to make a profit; not just a desire to make a profit. Not everyone that applies for our franchise is accepted but if this sounds like you, then please contact us. You will discover that this business has the potential for tremendous personal satisfaction and professional rewards.

How much is the franchise fee?
The franchise fee for a single all-inclusive DIGIKIDS® territory is only $29,900. The fee includes a complete computer, equipment and start up package including a large inventory of DIGIKIDS® ID Kits and professionally designed marketing material, initial customer list and automated advertising campaign setup,  world-class initial training and unlimited ongoing support.

Is there a continuing Royalty Fee?
There is no royalty fee! We have a unique (small) Monthly Territory Fee that is fixed each year - you won't pay more as your sales increase like you would with a percentage royalty. Plus, with our Rewards Program, you earn Bonus Bucks for all purchases at the DIGIKIDS® Online Store that you can use to pay the fee!

Can I start my DIGIKIDS® business part time?
Yes. Your DIGIKIDS® business can be successfully started or run on a part time basis.

How big is the child ID industry?
According to the US Census, there are about 60 million children at and below the ages of 14, which is the normal age range for child ID. Child ID's also need to be updated on a regular basis, so most can participate in the DIGIKIDS® program for many years. As children get older babies are born, keeping the size of the market constant or growing all the time. Births reach record high in 2007.

Is DIGIKIDS® limited to schools like other child ID companies?
Not at all! With our two minute onsite processing and delivery time, actual locations where you can offer the DIGIKIDS® ID service are limited only by your imagination! Such as business-sponsored safety events, daycares, the zoo, fairs, malls, church functions, you name it!

Will I need to take anything home to process?
With DIGIKIDS®, you won't have any homework after the event! Our patent-pending software automates the entire ID process onsite. You will be able to complete and deliver each CD and Photo ID Card in about two minutes without taking anything offsite, or returning to deliver finished ID's.

Am I responsible for the children's information once the ID is completed?
Absolutely not! Our patent-pending software is specifically designed so that no database is ever created. There's never a responsibility on your part to protect or remove sensitive information from your computer. With our proprietary program, there's no database - so there's nothing to delete!

What training will I receive as a new franchisee?
Your initial training includes a minimum of two days classroom instruction and actual hands on experience at a DIGIKIDS® Child Safety Event, if there is one in the area your training is taking place. At your request we can also be on hand to assist you in the opening and operation of your new business, for example assistance with your first child safety event. At the end of your initial training, you will be fully prepared to run your new business with confidence.

Do you provide continuing assistance?
Yes. We know that your success is our success. The support and assistance you receive begins the moment you are accepted as a franchise owner, and continues throughout your term with us. In addition, we fully support and provide updates for our DIGIKIDS® Data Collection Software program including Remote Control support via an Internet connection. And through a special arrangement with Dell, we even help support your Dell computer system - you won't have to deal with any offshore call centers.

Do you develop and provide marketing material?
Yes. We develop our own award-winning marketing and promotional material, and supply complete, pre-packaged ID and promotional kits for your DIGIKIDS® business. This makes it easy for you to concentrate on running your business - not ordering individual items, or producing marketing material on your own.

Where do I purchase my products?
We stock a complete line of professionally designed marketing and promotional material, and the DIGIKIDS® Child ID Kits at the DIGIKIDS® Online Store, available to purchase 24/7 - all at national pricing levels.

Can I set my own prices?
Yes. We suggest a retail price for the DIGIKIDS® Child ID, but you are free to set your own pricing based on your particular area or situation either higher or lower. Currently our Suggested Retail Price for a DIGIKIDS® Child ID Kit is $29.95.

How soon can I be in operation?
Once an area has been agreed upon and the franchise agreement signed and accepted, it should take approximately 30 to 90 days.
