| What PPFA Members Say... |
PPFA is so very much more than just an association, for me it is great people who eventually become true friends, educational growth in this industry you can't get anywhere else, and leadership training that has helped me in many areas of my daily life. I try to share how important it is to be involved in PPFA more often than just paying dues and putting that new PPFA member sticker on your shop window.

I’ve been on my local Chapter board for two years and have gotten tons of benefits – from top-notch education to networking with my peers.

The PPFA International Framing Competition is one of the best ways to attract free publicity for your store. It is also an incredible learning experience.

I switched to Meadowbrook Insurance Group through PPFA and saved enough money to pay my PPFA dues for the next four years.

In addition to the educational benefits, the CPF program brought an unexpected but pleasant surprise. We mentioned it on the website, and were surprised to see a large increase in traffic.
~ Andrew Langlois, CPF, Get the Picture |
PPFA Find A Picture Framer consumer website has brought in multiple leads. It's a very good benefit for members. The site brings in real leads and people with real money to spend

I am a fan of PPFA/PostcardBuilder and have only scratched the surface of the services they provide. It truly is a great service offered by PPFA that everyone should take advantage of.
