“Larson-Juhl’s join services have helped me streamline my business in many ways. By not having to spend time joining frames, I can spend more time doing other things that make my business more profitable. Things like:
1. Spending more time with customers to create the best designs for them
2. Managing my social media, advertising, and marketing campaigns
3. Managing store art inventory and stock

The downsides of joining your own frames are:
1. If you put a staple or nail through the edge, it’s all your fault. You must make sure it is perfect every time.
2. If you pay an employee to join frames, you will need to find someone with experience, and they better be good or it will cost you in the end. People that have the skill to join frames are rare.
3. Storing moulding in length on-site costs more in both real estate and managing the inventory.

Upsides of using the Larson-Juhl join service:
1. The nominal fee you pay to have Larson-Juhl join frames is a bargain compared to the money you would pay for an employee to join plus the cost of materials like equipment, staples or nails, and putty.
2. It allows my business footprint to be smaller and more efficient. I need less space by outsourcing that task and I need fewer employees.
3. My order fulfillment is quicker because once the shipment comes in from Larson-Juhl, all we need to do is put the art into the frame. No need to take in the moulding, measure, cut, and build

Bottom line is, Larson-Juhl joins come into my gallery wrapped beautifully, custom labeled with my order numbers and customer names, and with 99% accuracy on measurements. I rarely have an error. If you own a frame shop and you aren’t using Larson-Juhl’s join program, you aren’t using your time efficiently.”
