Finding Qualifed Local Resources for Wedding InvitationsThérèse Saint Clair has been selling fine stationery and custom invitations from the same Greenwich, CT location for the last 31 years. As with most serious stationers, we do not sell custom wedding invitations over the internet. The internet simply can’t provide buyers with the necessary tactile or visual experience to make an informed purchasing decision. In effect, the online buyer is being shown a seriously flawed low-resolution image of fine stationery and the craftsmanship that goes into making custom invitations. While consumers are savvy enough to realize that feeling and touching sample wedding invitations is a far cry than guessing what they may feel like when looking at a 72 pixel internet image, many consumers will never get the chance because they can’t find a qualified local stationer online. If you are a consumer who values choice, prefers to see the world through your own eyes and favors a personalized solution to the online template alternative, then you recognize the value of shopping locally. The challenge is to find a qualified local stationery store in your neighborhood that has the range of fine paper lines, printing and customization options, and experience to help make your visit worthwhile. Found below are some helpful hints to help you find a qualified stationer in your neighborhood:
I must sadly agree with Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, who recently said that the internet is a “cesspool” of bad information. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of local search. In certain industry segments, such as “weddings” or “wedding invitations,” it is next to impossible to find a local business in an online search. Local search is dominated by nationwide providers who euphemistically “service” local areas. If you follow one or more of the steps outlined above, you should be able to locate a qualified stationer in your neighborhood. Their experience and good taste should prove helpful in sorting through the many customization options to create your special wedding invitation. |
