If all these advantages appeal to you, as they have to a lot of other people, you’ll also be happy to hear that The Great Frame Up will put you right in the middle of the exciting art and custom framing industry.

FCI owns two large national framing franchises in the U. S. \u2013 The Great Frame Up\u00ae<\/sup> and Deck The Walls\u00ae<\/sup> \u2013 and the only one in Canada \u2013 Framing & Art Centre\u00ae<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
10 more reasons why The Great Frame Up is a great business opportunity.<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Low startup and low inventory costs<\/strong><\/h4>\n
If you’ve looked at other types of franchises, you know the startup costs can be astronomical. You’ll 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. \u00a0The combined buying power of FCI’s\u00a0system of\u00a0stores<\/strong><\/h4>\n
With our parent company’s dominant industry position, we’ve been able to negotiate major discounts, not only with leading publishers, distributors and suppliers, but also with credit card providers, insurance companies, advertising options\u00a0and more\u2013\u2013discounts that will give your business a serious advantage over every other competitor out there.<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0Assistance with site selection, lease negotiation and custom build-out<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Our experienced startup team will work with you right from the beginning. We’ll 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’ll make sure yours gets off on the right foot, right from the beginning.<\/p>\n
4. \u00a0Comprehensive training programs<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Our 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. \u00a0Financing assistance<\/strong><\/h4>\n
At your request, we’ll be happy to connect you with third party financing sources that are familiar with our programs.<\/p>\n
6. \u00a0Prime locations still available<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Chances are, you’ll 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’d like.<\/p>\n
7. \u00a0Professionally prepared, proven marketing and merchandising programs<\/strong><\/h4>\n
The National Marketing Fund was established to provide you with a full range of professionally produced marketing and merchandising materials\u2013\u2013the kind you couldn’t afford as an independent business owner. Some of these programs include our proprietary web based marketing system\u00a0and direct mail programs, our yearlong series of in-store merchandising programs, a link to your store’s individual\u00a0customizable\u00a0website on The Great Frame Up website, in-store window and point of sale signage and displays, as well as other National\u00a0advertising 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. \u00a0Ongoing support programs<\/strong><\/h4>\n
As 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 in St Peters, Mo, and trained field support Regional Sales Managers as well.<\/p>\n
9. \u00a0Excellent networking and educational opportunities<\/strong><\/h4>\n
To 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. \u00a0Personal satisfaction<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Running a business isn’t always a matter of dollars and cents. A great many people own successful businesses that give them no personal pleasure whatsoever. The Great Frame Up is different. Here, you’re 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.\u00a0This makes it fun for both you and your customers.<\/p>\n
