Uggghhhh

Recently, I was walking through Target and stumbled on their aisle of Christmas cards.  There, on the shelf, were three lines of cards that we carry in our store! What?!?  Upon closer examination, they had removed some of the “bells and whistles” that make the cards we sell special, stuck them in a cheap package and stuck a cheap price on them. Same look, cheaper version. Made in China. No one would know the difference unless they'd bought our cards and knew how much nicer they were.

And the neighborhood alder person thinks having a Target at the mall will be good for business. Maybe Target's business.

At Sarah B. Fine Stationery, we take special care to find beautiful made-in-America items such as stationery, cards & wrap. We look for items that are unusually beautiful and often hand-made. They are not cheap, nor are they inexpensive. Some people care about that; others don't. Rather than support a small group of individuals that put their heart and soul into the product they make, some people have a 'this is just as good, and it's cheaper' mentality. Odds are, it's made in China.

And the neighborhood alder person thinks having a Target at the mall will be good for business. Maybe Target's business.

At Sarah B. Fine Stationery, we go to great lengths to offer exceptional customer service. We pride ourselves on knowing many of our customers by name. We go out of our way to order items for customers when we can, notify them when an item comes in that they've been waiting for, assist with gift selections, beautifully wrap gifts, accomplish same-day personalizing when possible and appreciate every customer that comes in our store.

And the neighborhood alder person thinks having a Target at the mall will be good for business. Maybe he's right.
