marzipan inc. Partnering with shades of violet for Online Retail Sales

After years of requests from their loyal buyers, marzipan inc. is partnering with online retail shop, shades of violet. The online retail site partnership will help to fill the void for many small towns where their products are not readily available through brick and mortar retailers.

Sheboygan, Wisconsin (PRWEB) March 31, 2006 -- After their huge success in the wholesale market, up and coming stationery designer marzipan inc. (www.marzipaninc.com) has now partnered with shades of violet LLC to provide online sales of their nationally known products to the general public. shades of violet LLC (www.shadesofviolet.com) will be the only online shop with the exclusive rights to sell each and every product developed by marzipan inc.

“It became increasingly more difficult to continue turning business away from people who couldn’t find our products in their local brick and mortar stores”, says owner and designer Lori Dunbar. Ms. Dunbar, living in a small town herself, is very compassionate to those who don’t have the access to the type of stores that carry their line. “I would get e-mail after e-mail from people asking me if I could please sell them our designs because they didn’t have anywhere local that carried our products. It tore me up having to turn away business and people who so obviously loved our products.”

After being featured in prestigious stores such as Kate’s Paperie, and Fred Segal, Ms. Dunbar felt the time was right to expand her business into the realm of online sales. marizipan inc. produces many different stationery products from greeting cards, to gift tags. Even though all products from marzipan inc. are hand embellished, they are always competitively priced. Ask anyone in the paper-know, and they will tell you these cards are something special. Many of the products produced by marzipan inc. feature clean illustrations that are then painstakingly hand-embellished with glitter, beads, rhinestones, and other three dimensional pieces.

Along with a broad selection of greeting cards, marzipan inc. also offers boxed fill-in announcements, imprintables, gift enclosures, boxed thank you notes, correspondence cards, gift tags, & do-it-yourself greeting card kits. The entire collection will now be available at the shades of violet LLC website.

“We are adding a huge number of new products to our line just in time for the grand opening of our online website partner,” says Ms. Dunbar. “We are so excited about all these new products and hope that our new online friends will be too. That’s why we’re offering a coupon code for all our new friends to use on shades of violet. Just type in PRDISCOUNT at checkout and receive 10% off your first order with us!”
