Happy Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

I admit it . . . I am a certified typographile.  I love all things related to letters, fonts, handwriting and calligraphy.  So imagine my delight when I ran across this fabulously fun site called wordle!  Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. You can even tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.  Feeling in the spirit, I created this Happy Thanksgiving wordle that says it all.  I was having so much fun that I created a Salutations wordle from the “About Us” section of our website!

Oh yes, in this age of technology, we have much to be thankful for.  But on Thanksgiving Day, let us all be certain to slow down, look around, savor the moments in addition to the food, and give thanks for all that we have in our lives.  Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

Holiday gift to you from Salutations

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas (and Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa) . . . and Salutations would like to give you an early holiday gift.  The best thing is that you get to choose the gift that you’d like!  For a limited time, we are offering your choice of one of the following 3 gift options for every holiday item you purchase:

Gift #1 - Enjoy 20% off your purchase of any and all holiday items we have in stock ~ holiday cards, holiday photo cards, holiday invitations, holiday decor, holiday gift wrap, holiday place cards, holiday gift tags . . .  you get the idea!  {A savings of $25-$75 for 100 holiday cards!} This discount is not to be combined with any other discounts.

Gift #2 - Enjoy free printing on any holiday cards,  holiday photo cards, and holiday invitations we have in stock.  This includes the personalization of your card or invitation and, if you’d like, your return address on the envelope flap. Yes, you read that right! {A savings of $50-$100 for 100 holiday cards or invitations!}

Gift #3 - Enjoy free printing of your recipients’ addresses on the envelopes of any holiday cards, holiday photo cards, and holiday invitations you purchase from those we have in stock.  You will just need to send us an Excel spreadsheet of the names and addresses in our specified format!  {A savings of $100-$125 for 100 addresses!}

Bonus Gift - You can maximize your savings by purchasing any of our discontinued styles of holiday cards, which we’ve just put on sale at 40% off, and choose either Gift #2 (free printing of your cards and/or return address) or Gift #3 (free printing of your recipients’ addresses).  Now you’re talking huge savings!

This promotion is for a limited time, so hurry in for best selection.  Don’t miss this fantastic opportunity to choose the gift of savings that works for you!  You may apply different gift options to different purchases (e.g., you can get 20% savings on your holiday cards, but get free printing on your holiday invitations) ~ you just can’t apply more than one gift option on the same holiday item.

To use this promotion in our online store, simply tell us in the Order Notes during checkout which promotion you would like.  Your credit card is not actually charged until we process the order, so we will adjust the total or send you an email if the order doesn’t qualify for some reason.  {Be sure to check that the Stock Status says In Stock when ordering.}

This promotion begins Friday, November 21st, and will continue for a limited time.  {Please note that the promotion will not be applied retroactively to any currently placed orders in process.}

Salutations’ website makeover

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

We are so excited and proud to unveil the makeover of our Salutations website!  Since the launch of our online store, we have been hard at work with our crack web design team at Yellow House Design to better integrate our original website with our web store.  You can now toggle back and forth seamlessly between the department overview pages (Baby, Wedding, Party, etc.) and the online shopping pages.

The department overview pages provide a description of the services we offer and the products and manufacturers that we carry.  From each of these pages, you can click to go to that department’s section of the online store, see the most popular categories within the department, and click to go to the department’s photo gallery.  The photo galleries showcase products that are not yet offered through our online store, but which can be ordered by calling or sending us an email.  We would be happy to provide you with a quote for anything that you see in the photo galleries.

You can also easily access our cobranded websites from the department overview pages.  For example, from the Baby page, you can shop our Sweet Pea Designs online store.  From the Stationery page, you can access our Embossed Graphics store - the Annex at Salutations.  And, from the Wedding page, you can access our Envelopments online gallery.
