What other products or services should my custom framing business offer?

I own a custom framing business in Georgia and only do custom framing. What sort of products or services should I sell to compliment my business? I'm thinking of something along the lines of home decorations or art related stuff. Any ideas?

1. Yes definatly art "stuff" and or accents to the frams you sell (lighting) one thing I allways look for in a framing shop is the collection of artwork they have available for sale ... kinda gives me a feel for the owners apreciation for the craft
2. A friend of mine has a framing business. She has fabulous books of art works, prints and posters she orders for her clients. Beautifully crafted, sophisticated pottery is another option, as well as the (frameable) work of local artists. Instead of putting your own money into their works, contact local talented potters and artists and take their work on consignment. Use contracts and make it a business agreement. This gives them an outlet for their work and gives you merchandise without an outlay of your own cash. It also gives you an artistic 'gallery' atmosphere. Do you have enough space to rent to artists to give group art classes? These people would be future customers of yours and allow you to make the space pay. If you use any of these ideas and it works out let me know. I would be interested to hear. Good luck with your venture!
