We just worked with yet another customer who was astounded to find that our prices were lower than those at Michael’s Craft Stores! This particular customer came in the other day to obtain a custom framing quote. Our prices are so competitive, we encouraged her to shop around and to see what the going rate was at Michael’s and other chain stores. As it turns out, we came in $100 less than Michael’s, even after their 60% off coupon had been applied. This customer was surprised, we were not!
There is a big misconception in the framing world that you will spend more at a local business. This couldn’t be further from the truth! Michael’s marks up their prices before their big sales, so you really aren’t saving any money! Also, the framing at Michael’s isn’t done on-site, which means your framing project will take much longer to complete.
If you’re in the market for a custom frame, check out your local frame shop! You will not only be supporting your local economy; but it’s guaranteed to cost much less!
