The Framers Forum

Hi all, I've opened a new shop and am working on my sign for above the shop front. I've always worded myself on my web site and SM as "FrameCraft Picture Framers and Mirror Makers" however I'm wondering if I should phrase it differently.
FrameCraft Picture Framer and Mirror Maker
FrameCraft Picture Framing and Mirrors
FrameCraft Picture Framing and Mirror Maker
FrameCraft Picture Framer and Mirror Making
FrameCraft Picture Framer and Bespoke mirrors!...Arggghhh!
Opinions and/or any other combinations welcome please! Cheers all, D.

The shorter your name the better.
FrameCraft Picture Framing
or
FrameCraft Picture Framing & Mirrors

Cheers, yes agree to be short, I'm on a main road very visible but at certain times they pass quickly, Thank you.

I'd drop the mirrors from the title so that you can make Picture Framing larger underneath the company name. As you say people can be passing quickly, you want it obvious and easy to read.

Most people seem to assume framers can (and do) also do mirrors - if it is on your website (separate page for mirrors for example) and social media, with examples in your window, that should be enough.

Cheers Jo, thats actually given me an idea, its a really long frontage so I might drop the mirrors from the title and smaller on tyhe other side have Mirrors Made, Framed Wall art. Its really long so loads of space, Thank you.

We started as "Angmering Framing" we lived in Angmering and we did framing - say what it does on the tin, we thought.
Took over a shop called "Stitches" - so we became "Angmering Framing & Stitches" and that's what it said above the shop window,

"Angmering" may as well be "Froncysllte" - - most non locxals can't say it first time and "stitches" could be a number of things, we sold needlecraft, haberdashery - anything that uses a needle, then crafts of all sorts. By the time anyone had read "Angmering Framing & Stitches" and maybe had stab at what we did, they'd be gone, looking at something else.

We stayed as Angmering Framing & Stitches but did this with the frontage.

Cheers John, yes exactly what it says on the tin is the way to go!
