News from the Boulevard
July, 2005 - Picture & Frame Industries
Price increases on "HOLD". As many of you know over the past few months our industry has seen another round of price increases from manufacturers and suppliers. Chris and I have been working on new pricing supplements for our moulding and supplies (matboard, glass, foam and accessories). This past Thursday we finished loading everything into the computer and all that needed to be done was push the download button. Alas, Chris could not bring himself to do it ... why? With your continued support of PFI our monthly sales increases have offset any margin shortfalls. So, here's to you, customers and friends, another way for us to say "Thanks".
On the GROW again! In August we are introducing another round of NEW MOULDINGS to our inventory. Check out the new Tabacchino Series from Roma, along with more of the popular Palio series. Sixteen profiles from Garrett - fine, genuine, American made Hardwoods. Nine more Studio blacks have been added along with items from their new Eclat series. Lastly, thirteen profiles from the Scala and LaPietra series by Universal featuring unique shapes and colorful textured surfaces.
What else is new? Now in-stock is 36" Black Kraft paper (9636.50) and new Ultra Black presentation boards in 32x40 (6008.32) and 20x30 (6008.6) from Crescent.
From the Customer Service desk... As we head for the busy season please remember that we ask for one full day to process your order. Example, orders for Thursday should be placed on Tuesday, giving us all day Wednesday to accurately prepare your order. We never want to disappoint but we really need a day.
In closing ... for any of you in the area please take note of the giant Jayhawk painted on the west end of our building ... it's only temporary. Next month my daughter and my money head for Manhattan KS - Go Cats!
Thanks Again for your Support!
