Local Man Develops International Advertising Co-op!
The LIFEsm an acronym for: Local Independent Framing Expert, was first developed by John Barlowe* owner of Frame Shop Art Gallery & Gifts of Holland, Ohio as a way of differentiating his own locally owned business from the Big Impersonal Chain Stores. John believed that his independent Frame Shop was able to provide better selection and service at very competitive every day prices, compared to the "Always on Sale" Big Box stores. It became such a success that he wanted to share it with other independents as well.
Mr. Barlowe developed the web-site www.localindependentframinexpert.com and has made it available for FREE to a growing number of independent framers from around the world. The #1 objective of LIFE is to make consumers think of their LOCAL INDEPENDENT FRAMING EXPERT instead of the Big Box, Always On Sale (Never Really On Sale) framing stores.
Mr. Barlowe tells other independent framers, "this really is all about self promotion of your Local Frame Shop. Hopefully as you promote yourself using LIFE we can build a brand that people will recognize when ever they see it. I encourage your creativity as you use LIFE in promoting your business. We will develop marketing ideas together as the program builds. We encourage you to share your ideas with other members."
