Anyone have any thoughts on Bainbridge's Artcare Framer Support Program?

Bainbridge's Artcare Framer Support Program
- Thread starter JackBingham CPF
- Start date
Jack, I haven't heard of it, and I talked with my Bainbridge rep in the last few days. Do you mean the discounts on artcare foamboard and the $10/box rebate program? If so, they may have been loosing market share to alternative support boards (Coroplast comes to mind) and are looking for a way to win their way back into our good graces.

Bainbridge will do a direct mail postcard to 500 of our customers advertising Artcare products twice this year, if we commit to using only Artcare products on the counter. Plus many promotions items like new corners, window decals, flyers, etc. Looks like a good deal for both parties.

Jack,
I haven't heard of this program either.
Where did you find out about it?
Does the commitment mean that there would be no Crescent, Artique, or other mats and foamboards offered?
How much does the program cost?
Can you find out about it through LJ or other Bainbridge reps or do you have to go through Bainbridge directly?

This is a brand new program and you need to contact your Bainbridge rep or Customer Service person for details.

Bainbridge has a rebate program for their foam core and Bevel Accents. We're going to send in the POPs for bunches of Bevel Accents. When my boss compared foam core prices, the Bainbridge prices were higher even with the rebates than the other companies' prices. I wouldn't want to be locked into only selling Bainbridge's products.
We like having the variety of matboards from Crescent, Artique, Tru Vue, and Bainbridge.
Doesn't Michael's sell only Bainbridge? (I'll say no more.)

Jana and others. Have you shopped different suppliers for deals on FC? Figure out how much you might use in a year and take those figures to your suppliers. Ask for special pricing if you promise to buy exclusively from them.

We LOVE Bainbridge products, but I say STOP THE COUPONS AND JUST LOWER THE PRICES! We have enough to do without dealing with more paperwork for rebate programs! Incentives are good, but need to be upfront.
$.02 - do I owe you Ellen?

Well. let's see. Crescent keeps coming out and coming out with new corners and new colors. Meanwhile, a new color selector hasn't been printed in years. I mean I forget when the last complete one came out.
Bainbridge, on the other hand, hs new selectors once a year, maybe more. Crescent did 4" corners only after Bainbridge's was out for, how long???
Anyone want to compare the dropdead gorgeous Bainbridge fabric samples vs. the Crescent Moormans???
Yeah, I'll gladly show Bainbridge. Forget the rebates. Mail to my customers for free.
Where do I sign up?
Call into my rep as soonas I log off.

Making there product line the only product line sold on the counter. With in terms. By agreeing to to there terms they inturn give you alot of perks figure $1500.
They have the money to spend to supprt it and by talking with nation reps they going to support it. Magazine, print, cable programs, commercials. Are geared towards driving customers to your door asking for the I Care program......
