Every year at the end of October, I sit down to finalize my holiday advertising plan. It's become a tradition for me to design a holiday graphic that gets used on a variety of promotional pieces. Last year I tried something different. in keeping with the holiday spirit, I made my graphic available to picture framers around the world... for free. I got a big kick out of seeing how other frame shops were able to incorporate the holiday graphic into their own advertising.

This holiday I will once again make my graphic available for all framers to use. Below is a link to download this year's and last year's designs. If you choose to use either image, all I ask is that you shoot me an email letting me know how you used the graphic.

May all framers prosper this holiday season!

Wow!

Matt,
You are so creative!
Thanks for sharing again this year.
 
I like it - Thanks!

I think I'll try to actually make a wreath out of moulding.

Anyone else up for the challenge?
 
I had the same thought but then I thought I would just make ready mades and put price stickers on them. :p

Love the graphic.
 
Thank you everyone for the positive feedback. I had a lot of fun creating this graphic, and I'm happy that it will help other framers this holiday.

Bandsaw — Make sure to post a picture if you're actually able to fabricate a wreath made of frames. I'd be super impressed!
 
Hey Matt: it's a knockout! We've got ours in a 24x36 frame, in the front window. It really sets off the rest of the display.

Thanks very much. I owe you one.
 
Brilliant! As usual, Matt hits it out of the park with excellent graphic design. One day I really want to visit his shop.
 
Thanks, Matt. :thumbsup:
Have a good one.
 
Hi Matt!

I have attached our use of the graphic. It will go in a newsletter, in the window, in social media and as a poster on the wall. This could make a pretty cool holiday card as well.

Thanks SO much!

Kirstie

Kirstie — Glad you're able to use the graphic on a wide range of advertising platforms. Consistency is key and you've obviously got that concept figured out. Using the same logo, images, text, etc across the board definitely helps build a memorable brand. Big boxes do this well. Many independents do not.

Framer — Glad you decided to leave the shop cat out of the design. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
 
Thanks, Matt!

I'll be using it on my FB page next week.
