I sell a lot more frames than pictures in my antiques booth and when I did the series about selling antiques, "What Sells and What Doesn't", It seems many of you do too.
Pictures are hard to sell since they have to appeal to a customers specific style, color, taste, and decor.......
So.....ARE YOU READY FOR THE SECRET????
Wandering around an antique store one day I saw a vendor had filled her frames with doilies....
Eureka.....Now the customers knew what was for sale.....THE FRAME, not a picture of sheet music or an old photo.
As soon as I tried this I started selling frames like crazy! I thought I would pass it on........I just can't keep a good secret!
Happy Selling!

......But frames are a good seller!
I previously used vintage sheet music or old copied pictures as a frame filler
The problem with filling the frames with anything, is that customers still thought I was selling a picture
