Not sure I can picture the layout, but my first reaction is - $100 for a
framed 20x30 is waaaayyy cheaper than most I have seen or sold. I sell
matted 12x18's with no frame for that much. I know this was not the
question - but had to comment on the price - Just my 2 cents. :)
Instead of offering framed work in your flip bin, why not matted prints? I
think people prefer the ability to choose the frame themselves - at least
that has been my experience. I would say that you can mat the prints and
charge the same amount if not more. Also, you won't have to worry about
transporting and possibly damaging the frames.
