If all these advantages appeal to you, as they have to a lot of other people, you will also be happy to hear that Framing & Art Centre will put you right in the middle of the exciting art and custom framing industry. In fact, our parent company, Franchise Concepts, Inc., is one of the world’s largest, most successful franchisors of art and custom framing retail stores. FCI owns two large national framing franchises in the U. S. \u2013 The Great Frame Up\u00ae and Deck The Walls\u00ae \u2013 and the only one in Canada \u2013 Framing & Art Centre\u00ae.<\/p>\n
10 more reasons why Framing & Art Centre is a great business opportunity.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1. Low startup and low inventory costs<\/strong><\/h4>\nIf you have looked at other types of franchises, you know the startup costs can be astronomical. You will be pleasantly surprised at our reasonable costs. Franchisees have told us this gave them an important comfort zone when they joined our franchise system, and it also enabled them to quickly expand.<\/p>\n
2. The combined buying power of FCI’s system of stores<\/strong><\/h4>\nWith our parent company’s dominant industry position, we have been able to negotiate major discounts, not only with leading publishers, distributors and suppliers, but also with credit card providers, insurance companies, advertising options and more\u2013\u2013discounts that will give your business a serious advantage over every other competitor out there.<\/p>\n
3. Assistance with site selection, lease negotiation and custom buildout<\/strong><\/h4>\nOur experienced startup team will work with you right from the beginning. We will help evaluate potential sites, help negotiate the best possible lease, and work with you during the entire construction process. We know what it takes to make a store work, and we will make sure yours gets off on the right foot, right from the beginning.<\/p>\n
4. Comprehensive training programs<\/strong><\/h4>\nOur franchisees come from a variety of different backgrounds. Some were experienced business people who recognized the potential of our concept, but had no framing experience. Others were experienced framers who had no idea how to run a successful business. Today, thanks to our intensive training program, which includes a thorough introduction to our state-of-the-art computer systems, our experienced business people have become expert framers, and our framers know exactly how to run an efficient business.<\/p>\n
5. Financing assistance<\/strong><\/h4>\nAt your request, we will be happy to connect you with third party financing sources that are familiar with our programs.<\/p>\n
6. Prime locations still available<\/strong><\/h4>\nChances are, you will find an excellent location in a shopping center near where you live. Or if you prefer, you can use this as an opportunity to relocate to just about any other area of the country you would like.<\/p>\n
7. Professionally prepared, proven marketing and merchandising programs<\/strong><\/h4>\nThe National Marketing Fund was established to provide you with a full range of professionally produced marketing and merchandising materials\u2013\u2013the kind you could not afford as an independent business owner. Some of these programs include our proprietary web based marketing system and direct mail programs, our yearlong series of in-store merchandising programs, a link to your store’s individual customizable website on Framing & Art Centre website, in-store window and point of sale signage and displays, as well as other National advertising discounts. Plus, our \u201cBest Seller Lists\u201d will give you an ongoing, industry-wide view of what’s hot and what’s not.<\/p>\n
8. Ongoing support programs<\/strong><\/h4>\nAs our Mission Statement says, “The success of our franchisees is our highest priority.” We have dedicated professionals working full-time for you in our Franchise Support Center and trained field support Regional Sales Managers as well.<\/p>\n
9. Excellent networking and educational opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\nTo help you stay current on all aspects of the industry we conduct an annual gathering for our franchisees in conjunction with North America\u2019s largest industry trade show. This allows franchisees an opportunity to network while taking advantage of exceptional educational opportunities.<\/p>\n
10. Personal satisfaction<\/strong><\/h4>\nRunning a business is not always a matter of dollars and cents. A great many people own successful businesses that give them no personal pleasure whatsoever. Framing & Art Centre is different. Here, you are dealing with happy customers who come in by choice, who have interesting projects for you, and who are depending on you to help beautify their homes and offices. You’re taking artwork or family heirlooms they genuinely treasure, and turning them into pieces they can display with pride. This makes it fun for both you and your customers.<\/p>\n
