It's not new, since it was a fad many years ago. It is the gallery wrap and it will cost you money in the long run! Some labs are offering to process your prints on canvas, and then wrap them around a wood form, to then sell as a complete ‘framed' product. There are five things that you should consider, prior to committing to this method of merchandising your portraiture. • First, your loyal customers patronize your studio all year long. How many have quality picture frames that they will want to match, when the next family event occurs? If they don't find these frames in your showroom, will they go elsewhere? We have been serving professional photographers for over 87 years. We have seen it all! This fad will pass, but don't let it compromise your customers or profits! ****************************************************************************** As we work through another challenging year, changes in the industry have caused many photographers to reflect objectively on the following: • Are you having difficulty supplying your valuable clients with quality picture frames and albums? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, the you should contact The Levin Company. As a family owned and operated business, we treat all of our customers as our family. Let us demonstrate why photographers throughout the country trust The Levin Company to serve their picture frame, photo mount, and album needs. Our outstanding reliability and exceptional service separate us from the rest of the competition! Since 1920, over 20,000 professional photographers have considered us their best supplier! We help you run your studio smoothly, without worrying about your primary supplier. We are the only company who will provide education to you and your staff on sales and marketing your products. What is that worth? Call us today, at 800-345-4999, for a special offer. Tell your sales associate that you are responding to offer #NC2007.
