Cookies to everyone! Yes, we sent cookies to all of our retailers to celebrate our 100th order! It came so much faster than we expected.
100 orders
October 18, 2010Excited!
January 8, 2010Yip, Yip, hoorah! Our goal was to see ten people, we actual had stop by our booth – yes, . And for orders, we wanted one and we got . We are so proud.
Exhausted
January 7, 2010To say that we are exhausted is an understatment. We set up the booth and went for dinner. We are beat, but too tired to sleep – tomorrow is our first trade show. We will be happy as long as ten people stop by and say hello. Our goal for the day is modest, two orders for our albums.
On our way…
January 7, 2010We’re on our way to Atlanta. Tomorrow will be our first trade show. We’ll see how our mass mailing went.
The calls are coming…
December 30, 2009Last week we mailed out flyers to potential retailers to tell them about us as we prepare for the Atlanta tade show in January and National Stationery Show in May. Today we received our first call of interest. We actually received more than one call, and some emails.
Ready, Set, Test!
December 15, 2009Our albums have arrived at the Sensational Seven – our test retailers! We have officially gotten our first feedback and we like what we are hearing! We’ll celebrate with cupcakes, hugs and kisses!
Test Retailers
December 10, 2009We have worked hard on our albums, but just because we think they are great does not make it so….
So, we asked seven stationery stores throughout the country to test our albums and they all said yes! From now through January they will be giving us feedback from their staff and customers and hopefully placing an order or two.
Font Philosphy
December 5, 2009We love fonts. Like when selecting our paper we considered hundreds of fonts. Yes, we know the most popular fonts and know that others offer only a few choices, but we are different. We like, no we love options, and we assume you and your customers do too. Each album has at least 20 choices of fonts.
Paper Philosophy
December 4, 2009We love paper. We looked at hundreds of choices for our albums and decided on papers that are beautiful and environmentally friendly. Some of the papers are 100% tree free while others contain 30% post consumer fiber. The papers are textured and smooth, matte and shimmer and in rich colors.
Our liners are the same; environmentally friendly while being beautiful and coming in an array of colors.
