Success story of a Home-based Framer

One of the many proofs that a home-based framing service can become a successful business is Lucie Voves. She is the founder of Church Hill Classics, a home-based framing service that offers custom framing to universities and colleges.

Voves began selling published artwork in her own college. Her customers liked the frames she used and asked if she could frame college and university diplomas. Voves promptly jumped at the opportunity and that was the beginning of her new life as a full-fledged entrepreneur.

Today, Voves' business has grown significantly. Church Hill counts over 650 schools as partners and boasts of over $6 million of revenue annually. For her significant contribution and talents as an entrepreneur, Voves was honored with the Trailblazer Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners.

Marketing success online
You have to gain exposure for your products to be noticed. Join trade shows or exhibits or like Lucie Voves, provide a service for a niche market. Using a free webspace (to keep down cost), post pictures of your work online, along with a list of your services and contact information. If you prefer, you can even set up your own ordering center online, provided you can deliver on time. With a little patience and perseverance, you can get your home-based framing service business off the ground and enjoy your success.
