2. Brainstorm 

Everyone loves a fun shopping experience - even for new frames!

Take some time to come up with ways to make the entire experience more memorable for your customers. Maybe a new display, a promo contest, or even incorporate iPads or other digital displays where your customers can browse through frames on Frames Data Online! Expand your frame selection beyond what is on your board to give your customers a better experience.

3. Reveal hidden secrets

Find your dispensary's sweet spot. Reviewing your sales reports can reveal hidden secrets and nuggets of golden information that you can use to better run your business.  

For instance, know which styles and brands are selling better than others, which ones are the most profitable, and what frames are harder to sell. Use these valuable insights to determine your target market, and to develop a strategy that will play to your strengths.


This is just the tip of the iceberg. Remember, your time is valuable and there's a million and one other things you could be doing when you aren't weighed down by hand-entering data.  Choose wisely.

Frames Data works with several practice management software programs, so you can have accurate and the most up-to-date information loaded into your system. It eliminates manual data-entry and the errors that come with it. If you're spending time entering data, maybe it's time to check out your software options.  With Frames Data, you can work smarter, not harder.
