Franchises and network

With our parent company Somundy Enterprises manufacturing in country, dominant industry position, we’ve been able to negotiate local prices that will give your business a serious advantage over every other competitor out there.

Our experienced startup team will work with you right from the beginning. We know what it takes to make a store work, and we’ll make sure yours gets off on the right foot, right from the beginning.

Our franchisees come from a variety of different backgrounds. Some were experienced business people who recognized the potential of our concept, but had no framing experience. Others were experienced framers who had no idea how to run a successful business. Today, thanks to our intensive training program, which includes a thorough introduction to our state-of-the-art computer systems, our experienced business people have become expert framers, and our framers know exactly how to run an efficient business.

The International Marketing Network was established to provide you with a full range of professionally produced marketing and merchandising materials––the kind you couldn’t afford as an independent business owner. Some of these programs include our proprietary web based marketing system and direct mail programs, our yearlong series of in-store merchandising programs, a link to your store’s individual customizable website on The Great Frame Up website, in-store window and point of sale signage and displays, as well as other International advertising discounts. Plus, our “Best Seller Lists” will give you an ongoing, industry-wide view of what’s hot and what’s not.

As our Mission Statement says, “The success of our franchisees is our highest priority.” We have dedicated professionals working full-time for you in our Franchise Support Center in various countries and various languages.

Running a business isn’t always a matter of dollars and cents. A great many people own successful businesses that give them no personal pleasure whatsoever. The Great Start-Up is different. Here, you’re dealing with happy customers who come in by choice, who have interesting projects for you, and who are depending on you to help beautify their homes and buildings. This makes it fun for both you and your customers.
