Frame board management is a strategy for developing a profitable partnership with frame representatives to more effectively manage a practice's frame boards. It involves determining the number of "core" frame vendors to work with exclusively through contractual agreements. These vendors are considered business partners who help ensure the financial success of the practice by keeping frame boards stocked per a scheduled inventory cycle tailored to patient demographics. The model aims to improve efficiencies and sales production while reducing flooring costs by using vendors as distribution centers. Implementing an effective frame board management strategy can yield an estimated annual financial return of over $126,000 through increased sales and freed up cash flow.

think they should have. They’re sort of like
sheep, following the flock. If you’ve been
around for a long time, people trust you
more and feel secure in their purchase.”

Financial Return
“Be first and you will automatically be
different. If you can hang in there and
fight off the imitators,
you will be very successful.”

14. FRAME BOARD MANAGEMENT
MODEL
Determine your number of “core” frame
vendors.
These core vendors are under contractual
agreement.
Frame vendors are your “business” partners
investing in the success of your dispensary.
Establish allocations for each vendor.
Profile your patient demographics for proper
product representation.
Vendor to inventory their allocations on a 6-8
week schedule.

15. FRAME BOARD MANAGEMENT
MODEL
Vendor to return any discontinued/ slow moving
product.
Inventory brought up to allocation with new
product.
Do not sell off board…this is display product.
Use vendor as “distribution” center to reduce
flooring cost of product.
If the vendor does not maintain the “performance”
requirements…in the words of Donald Trump,
“You’re Fired.”

16. FRAME BOARD MANAGEMENT
SOLUTIONS
Implementation of this model will ensure
the financial success of your dispensary
through improved efficiencies and sales
production. You MUST manage your
dispensary, don’t let it manage you!

17. FRAME BOARD MANAGEMENT
SOLUTIONS
“Differentiating often requires sacrifice…Giving
up something can be good for your business.
Staying focused on one kind of product
attribute is superior to telling a multiple
attribute story. It enables you to be different
by taking ownership of a perceived benefit.
Nordstrom took ownership of ‘service’. Your
product might offer more than one attribute,
but your message should be focused on the
one you want to preempt.”
