What Our Clients Have To Say About FrameReady


Vivian C. Kistler, MCPF, GCF

On behalf of SoftTouch Solutions Inc, I would like to express our heartfelt sorrow for the loss of our dear friend and supporter, Vivian Kistler. I first met Vivian in 1996 at the PPFA Spectrum show in Toronto where she approached me and said, 'okay kiddo, show me what you've got.' This was the start of our connection over the years. It was the pricing principles in her book which she authored with Bob Mayfield, "Pricing Custom Framing", that guided the development of our FrameReady software.
In May last year, we developed a closer working relationship when she contacted us and offered to be our spokesperson, writing to us in her straight forward manner, "You, I can endorse." We were thrilled and honoured to work with her.
Vivian was scheduled to be with us in our booth at the West Coast Art and Frame Show in Las Vegas in a few weeks. We looked forward to spending more time with our fellow Canadian and friend. She will be sadly missed by all of us here.
God bless you, Vivian.
Bert de Roo,
President
