    Hiya Everyone.

    Do you know of any good suppliers for silver frames…either snap frames or simply frames you can slide your poster into.

    We are hoping to put up some advertising posters in the toilet cubicles around the University so we will need 100’s eventually…..but we are going to try it in 1 building to see how effective it will be, so we will start with an order of 50ish.

    I have been on a few sites, but they seem to be in the £7 – £8 range…….which is too expensive – I know I will be able to reduce that price as I will be bulk buying! 😉

    Can anyone suggest an alternative solution – the posters will have to be changed every few months, so the frame needs to be changeable.

    Cheers

    Speedy

    Speedy.
    to expensive, quite often means we cant afford it.
    it does depend on the size you want, but £7 looks reasonable, (a4) for a good quality frame.
    If you are selling advertising space, then the frame should pay for itself in the first week..even in a toilet…
    OK we all need to do the best deal, so perhaps instead of looking for a cheaper frame, you should be selling your advertising space at a higher price.

    Cherwell sign supplies are usually as competitive as any though, if you need to compare prices

    Hello

    Green Magic……Ian your a star – how helpful are they!!!
    :lol1:

    Peter – If this was a regular project yes I would increase the price of advertising…….but on this occasion we aren’t selling the advertising space – it is an environmental project – we will be promoting ‘Green Issues’ so that is why we are trying to keep the costs low!

    I have managed to find one company that can do a silver anodised snap frame for £4 – I have ordered one to check the quality, if it gets the thumbs up I will post the details of the company in-case anyone else wants to use them.

    Thanks again for you help everyone.
