"Ken & I spent valuable time in setting retail prices; Ken’s thinking and experience was invaluable in that process. We learned how to best arrive at quotes for larger volume (more commercial) projects. We now put thought behind projecting business to business revenue for the year."


"A particular need I had was to gain confidence in the fairness of our pricing and to remain confident during consumer price rejection. Ken recognized our need, addressed it, and went a long way to correct it."

"Ken worked with us to get our pricing structure consistent so that Rockwell's gross margins are where they need to be. Helping us gain control over such an integral part of the business is no easy task given the numerous variables involved."


"As we look back, we feel that we now have a much greater sense of control on the front end of our business that was lacking in the past."

Develop Pricing Plans that are Profitable

LEARN HOW TO CREATE PRICING PLANS THAT ARE PROFITABLE



LifeSaver Pricing Programs

My framing company invested in POS software over 15 years ago. Since that time I have analyzed the pricing and the profit it produced by breaking down the cost and retail of over 60,000 projects to collect data on where we made most of our profit.

Three years ago, when I started offering price and profit analysis for many framers, I noticed similar patterns in pricing that related to profitability.

During this period, because I worked with so many of their customers, I developed a relationship with LifeSaver and they were able use their huge database covering thousands of frame shops and over a million projects to confirm many of the surprising results of my analysis.

The result of this collaboration is the ability to provide framers with pricing which is profitable for their particular operation and at the same time reducing pricing in areas which attract the most objections from your customers!

In addition to creating this detailed strategy for pricing tables of moulding, matboard, glazing, mounting and fitting, each table is customized to provide the mark-up your particular operation needs based on your own operating statement. The best part…….

YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING - IT'S ALL DONE FOR YOU BY REMOTE ACCESS!

Here are some examples of what we have discovered studying over one million custom framing sales:


  • Over 50% of all custom framing projects fall into one very narrow range of united inches! Knowing this lets me create pricing tables that target this UI range for maximum profit.

  • The new data gave me a clear understanding about the profitability of using chop or length moulding- the results will surprise you!

  • This study proved that there are certain frame sizes where it is NEVER profitable to cut length!

  • I found that over 50% of all matboard is purchased by framers at the same cost! Knowing this allows me to maximize your profit for this category!

  • Confused about carrying different sizes of glass? My analysis lets me determine what sizes you should carry based on your volume. The result saves you waste or overinvesting in materials.

YOUR PRICING DETERMINES HOW PROFITABLE YOU ARE.
NOTHING ELSE MEANS AS MUCH!
