The Manor – West Boylston, MA
Networking Activities, start 6 PM, Dinner at 7:15 PM
Panel discussion: “Add-on Revenue Sources for a Frameshop”
After a grueling early winter and (hopefully) hectic holiday season this is a chance to depressurize and think about what can be added to your shop’s offerings to increase customer interest and further add to the bottom line. Three of our members: Pam Thomas of ArtPlaq will talk about plaqueing, Mike Labbe of Get The Picture Framing will talk about photo restoration; and Kris Thomas of Photo Quick of Waltham will talk about photo gifts to start the ball rolling. As usual, those in attendance are expected chime in with what has worked or is working for them.
As we enter this new year with its “not too hot” economic outlook we must think outside of the frame to find new sources of customer enticements. Some we can implement ourselves, others may require either assistance or cooperative ventures.
Seating is limited so get your reservation in early
