So it's a fancied up super plak. Not exactly my cup of tea, TYVM.

Better than the poop frames, though.....

Tacky. And it takes four weeks. I'm not worried about this one.

They need to hire a writer.

...and a photographer, and a graphic designer...

I'm doing a job with a similar company in Orlando at the request of one of my customers...pretty much the same product (they'll even add the tacky borders) with a 3-4 day turn around.
People want it, and I can touch it and put a little money in the bank...why not?

Around here, they do well in the furniture stores . . . . as in Rent-a-Center furniture stores.

I would say that if you are selling this item then, YES, you are hurting your business!

All I can think when I see this is how will I "undo" this when the customer comes to me to get it reframed!

i do use a plaquing system for big maps and certain items, but not that often, usually every spring I'll get 5 maps from Raven that people want "framed so it sticks off the wall, you know what I mean...."

They need to look at the time line of our industry first. 4 WEEKS!

Yeah, that's going to fly. Amazon and Shutterfly ship in 3 days.

Looking at the "artwork source" list,I noticed art websites,etc....Wonder if these people bother to check for copyrights? L.
