News from the Boulevard

July, 2008 - Picture & Frame Industries

Dear Friends,

Pinch me it's almost August! Where is it going? Oh well, life on The Boulevard continues to forge ahead! Business continues to be brisk and we are grateful to you.

How grateful ... how about another round of special savings for you to get us through the dog days of August and kick-off the fall season? For lack of a better name we are calling this promotion ...

"Too hot for golf"
Begins August 1, runs through October 31

TruVue Conservation/Museum Glass "Bonus Boxes" - Bonus Boxes are back and this time we mean "boxes". You have ninety days to purchase 10 boxes of TruVue conservation glass. We will attach a red sticker to your invoice for every qualifying box purchased. You place the red sticker on your red rebate card and return the filled card to us. You will receive a free "Bonus Box" of TruVue Conservation Clear 3240 glass. Plus, a second "Bonus Box" of 3240 single lite Museum glass. This is $150.00 in free glass just in time of the holidays. Need more info ... call us.

Crescent Select Matboard - All Select matboards (silly names-serious matboards) will also be on promotion. We will set our computer to lower your purchase price by 10% automatically. This is a great time to stock up on those basic colors, white and black especially. At our best column pricing you will pay $4.97. Even more savings if you take advantage of our 2% prompt pay discount.

Other topics ... new moulding introductions coming very soon. - Has the man gone crazy ... sometimes we wonder. As you read this newsletter we literally have tons of new mouldings coming to us from points around the globe. From new basic black profiles to contemporary styles to traditional finishes ... lots of new items for you to consider. Our challenge is to get them to you for consideration .. we'll do it!

Just a quick heads up on pricing ... although we would rather have a root canal than re-price 4,000 items and proof read a new pricing guide, we are beginning the process of reviewing our current catalog. Not sure how long it will take ... but know it is coming.

In closing, many of you have had the good fortune to have Paul Meyer deliver to you over the years. Last week Paul surpassed the Million Miles Driven plateau. Paul joined us in Dec.1989 and has been a wonderful representative of PFI. We applaud the great attitude, dedication, and contribution he has given us and his many loyal customers. Thanks Paul.

We thank you for the support you continue to show us and we work to return that support, trust and respect to you everyday. We believe our business is good because we have really good customers - thanks from everyone at PFI.
