Daniel Stephens started Who’s Who in Huntsville magazine after unsuccessfully trying to advertise and have a story published about his furniture store in a local newspaper in 1999. His idea was to create a way for him and other business owners in the area to be able to advertise and have stories published. In the fall of 2000, Stephens published Who’s Who in Huntsville magazine with information on his furniture store, as well as many other local businesses. The first week the magazine was out; his furniture store sold more than $15,000 in furniture and gift items! The other businesses experienced similar results and the magazine became a huge success! Stephens decided to dedicate himself full time to the magazine.

Who’s Who Franchising seeks franchise owners that possess an energetic and enthusiastic spirit, that are eager to build a successful business, and have a professional image, as well as a desire to create a positive change in lives. In most cases, publishing a magazine is a complex business that requires creative talent and many years of experience. This system works with the novice, who has little or no publishing experience. The Who’s Who concept is a comprehensive system that provides on-going training, support and guidelines to franchisees.

Who’s Who in Athens Magazine Publisher Gloria Cooper states, "When Image Marketing, Inc. decided to purchase Who’s Who in Athens Magazine, it was actually a no brainer. Who’s Who was already an established magazine in Huntsville and with Daniel’s system in place; it was a very easy and smart business decision to make! We exceeded our goal with our first edition of Who’s Who in Athens Magazine, and naturally, wanting to expand, purchased three other Who’s Who territories. Bottom line ... working with Daniel Stephens and the folks with Who’s Who has been the wisest business decision we’ve ever made."
