LIFEsm
Your Local Independent Framers genuinely love what they do, and have the
ability to go above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer -
saving you time, money and stress.
Local Independent Framing Experts contribute to your community's economic
success.
More money stays in your community when you patronize locally-owned businesses
than when you go to a national chain - money that is used to employ local
people, support local non-profits, and buy local products.
Independent retailers reflect the values and interests of their communities,
where you can interact with the owners of the business.
Local businesses and organizations offer goods and services that you might not
find anywhere else, making your community a vibrant, authentic place that is
different from other communities.
Local independent businesses sponsor and participate in events benefiting
the community, and donate goods and services too local non-profits. They live
here, work here, play here.
Local business owners directly see their businesses' impacts on our
environment and community, and have the freedom to implement innovative programs
to address these impacts.
The
acronym ( Local
Independent Framing Expert), was developed into its final form by John Barlowe
(with the online assistance of a varied group of independent framers including
your humble Framar), 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 (also known as the Always on Sale Stores). This concept has became
such a success that he wanted to share it with other independents as well.
Thanks, John!!!
