Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business? If so,
picture framing can be an ideal way to turn your dreams
into reality, just like I did.
In 1987, with a very small amount of money and no
experience, I started a part-time framing business from the basement
of my home. A year later when the high-tech company I worked
for closed its doors, framing became a fulltime venture and the only
source of income for my family. Since that time, I've opened three
retail stores and have gone on to become one of the industry's most
widely respected business experts. (Link

With the economy on the upswing once again, today
could be a great time for you to get started in your own picture
framing business. Our 4-day professional class is designed to help
you get started. (Click here for more info)
Profit Picture
If you've ever purchased custom framing, you may have
figured out already that it's a business that offers high profit
margins (with markups as high as 500%-600%). It also offers prestige,
fun and variety in a business where your creativity and
professional opinions are valuable assets to the many appreciative
customers whose lives you enrich..
Reasonable Hours
Tired of the long hours and high stress of the
corporate rat race? You'll find that a custom picture framing business
is at the opposite end of the stress spectrum--after all, there are
very few emergency picture frames. Most retail frame shops have
reasonable hours and many operate on a five-day work week.
Low Startup Costs
Unlike many businesses, in picture framing, you can start small,
then add on as your business grows. That's because you'll need only
few pieces of major equipment.
Flexible Operating Options
How many business can you think of that offer this
much flexibility? With picture framing you can choose between working
from home; opening a retail store or art gallery; offering wholesale
framing services to artists and designers, manufacturing pre-framed
art, or even putting your business on wheels and bringing your
frame shop to your customers. Framing also makes a great add-on to
other business, such as photo processing, flower and gift shops,
furniture stores and many other retail and service businesses. Framing
attracts upscale customers to your present business.
With
custom picture framing, you can choose to start a new business,
or buy an existing business or franchise. Our
Four-Day
Professional Course will help you evaluate your options and show you
how to get the most for your money, from negotiating price and terms
to uncovering the hidden pitfalls and avoiding unscrupulous sellers.
