We are raising $1,000,000.00 for a 40% share of our business and seek a partner that will navigate and secure our financial future and growth. We ask that they also engage in identifing the right marketing partner and other strategic partners that will achieve or exceed our goals.
What’s the buzz? Brides-to-Be, Mothers of the Brides and others get excited when they see that our beautiful designs are coupled in concert with our ability to fulfill their desire to capture their vision quickly and easily.
(URL removed) has eliminated the time and pain it typically takes for Customers to place orders verses the competition using our “stress free ordering” process.
Competitor’s websites require spending a great deal of time using online grahics tools plus need a degree of skill and design ability to achieve a professional result and can only create one piece at a time. With (URL removed) Customers only have to provide us with their basic information such as names, dates, and other content and an eProof is created and emailed to them to approve.
With us, Customers enjoy a one-stop-shopping experience like no other and spend more money. Our average sale is reaching $200 and growing and is above the competition’s average sale of $125 per order. Quickness of finding what they want, easy order execusion and . . . . . every piece they find is shown together with an entire “collection” of perectly coordinated pieces. Grouping and seeing all these pieces together is an extremely compelling offering. With fair pricing aimed at the masses, this is a find and doesn’t get much better or more exciting for our Customers.
What drives us is our ability to capture the emotion of the consumer and the tremendous margins. We recently shipped an order consisting of; 28 Table Number Cards, 260 Place Cards, 100 Wedding Programs and 250 Menu Cards totalling a $1043.34. We had 4 hours of production time. Paper and printing costs were less than $50.
At the lower end, 20 Table Number Cards sell for between $49.80 (generic) and $79.80 (personalized). Paper and printing is equal at a cost of $2.50 and production time is 12 minutes and 20 minutes respectively.
Our future is sustained by our passion, product and design innovation and an annual ongoing market of 1.8 million new weddings annually driven by desire, emotion and the need to be unique. In most cases the word “easy” and low stress in mutually exclusive from the experiece. Our solution and deliverable will drive our market share to the top.
We are the creative and productive engine. We know that’s not enough. The work to be done moving forward is academic. Building the right financial structure, identifying and driving the right marketing partners will make this an incredible success.
