Highest Quality and Honest Pricing!
When I was considering a “tag line” for Custom Picture Framer of Glenside, I really wanted to sum up my business philosophy in just a few simple words. The claim is nothing without the proof to back it up, so here’s the proof!
A client approached me about framing a football jersey for her boyfriend, and wanted a quote. I detailed my “starting price” framing which includes a 40″ X 40″ black wood frame, conservation (99% UV filtering) glass, conservation matboard backing with 1″ shadowbox walls and completely reversible and archival sewdown mounting for $375 + tax (my regular retail price). The best materials and techniques equals “Highest Quality”. She was happy with the price as she had gotten a quote from a “Big Box” craft store with a framing department. I won’t name names, but they ALWAYS have a sale going on for 50% or more off custom framing. Their retail price quote was OVER $1,000! Of course, the discount brought the price to $500. This is a pricing game they’ve played for years. In fact, they’ve been fined in some states for promoting a never-ending sale…illegal as well as unethical. I want my customers to feel comfortable…to know I’m not pulling a fast one…that my pricing is, indeed, “Honest Pricing”.
This is a Larry Christenson Philadelphia Phillies jersey I recently framed. He pitched in the 1980 World Series, and still lives and works in the Philadelphia area. You’ll see I included the 1980 World Series patch, as well as a program and a signed baseball card (which are “encapsulated” to maintain them in mint condition). A centerpiece for the “Man Cave”!!
A signed Philadelphia Phillies Jersey from the World Series champions of 1980 deserves archival framing!
I have had many pieces of artwork framed over the years, oftentimes with less than satisfactory results. With the addition of Jeremy’s “Custom Picture Framer of Glenside” venture, I was eager to give him a try. As one who is EXTREMELY particular about my mats and frames, I was cautiously optimistic but ultimately thrilled with the results. Having subsequently had numerous other pieces framed with the same perfect results, I remain very impressed. Jeremy’s work is of the highest order. He is personable, professional and extremely helpful with suggestions if needed. He has access to the finest materials and has the knowledge to explain the merits of each, oftentimes even providing a printed handout of the specs from the manufacturer. Suffice it to say, that I can honestly recommend “Custom Picture Framing of Glenside without hesitation. This is the place to go- simply the BEST!!!!
