Weekly Spotlight – Storkie

Storkie Express was founded in 1990 by a WAHM. Storkie started as a baby company, focusing on baby shower invitations and birth announcements. Over the years, our customers kept coming back to us requesting help with their other special occasions, and we expanded our selections. While our product lines grew from baby to include religious, wedding, graduation, holiday, and party invitations, our core philosophy of providing high quality invitations and announcements at affordable prices, printed and shipped very fast has stayed constant.

Storkie was one of the first invitations companies on the web – and from our first site that launched in 1998 to the latest Storkie.com 4.0 that launched mid-January 2010, Storkie has been commited to innovating how invitations can be ordered. We strive to provide the best customer experience, from our revolutionary design tool iDesign to our excellent customer service to our perfectionist typesetters. Digital proofs are available at no extra cost, as we simply want the finished product to be perfect!

Weekly Spotlight – Oopsy

OOPSY was created by Beth Dunn in 2009. OOPSY was derived from an illustration depicting an upside down cupcake with the title, “OOPS!! I dropped my cupcake.” From there, OOPSY was born and really boomed within the first year. Spending hundreds of hours designing and self-promoting online, print, word-of-mouth & features on Squidoo lenses & blogs, OOPSY’s name has finally reached world-wide.

OOPSY features retro, fun, pop art illustrations and designs that targets moms, teens, kids, babies, grandparents, support groups, businesses, skaters & the like. All items listed on the OOPSY @ Zazzle site can be personalized, and/or customized to fit the customer’s needs! For instance, you are having a birthday party, you can customize invitations, get stamps that match the designs on your invitations, personalize flair (buttons, magnets, key chains), create thank you cards, and customize birthday apparel (t-shirts, aprons, hoodies, KEDs shoes, hats & more). The options are infinite, and you can choose designs created by OOPSY or design your own! Add names, your text/phrases and even photos! OOPSY is focused on quality, and excellent customer service & support.

Beth encourages customer interaction and she will create a customized design per customer request (colors, design, etc). You can reach her at mbdunn75@yahoo.com or visit www.zazzle.com/bd5178 for more details.

Weekly Spotlight – Easy Lunchboxes

Kelly Lester

Kelly Lester is the creator and CEO of EasyLunchboxes.com.  Kelly shares her story on how Easy Lunchboxes were created!

I’ve always been kind of the ‘queen of doing things fast and efficiently’ and with three kids and lunchboxes to make every day, I was SO tired of struggling with mismatched containers and wasteful baggies – trying to fit them into 3 different size lunch coolers. Usually there wasn’t room for everything, and then I’d have to make changes in the food choices or containers. What a frustrating waste of time every day! Since unhealthy school lunch programs were not an option, I knew I had to come up with a more time saving way to pack healthy meals for my kids…. BINGO– one container to hold 3 different food items, and a roomy enough cooler for the rest. Now THAT would really streamline my lunch packing chore!

Honestly, I just thought that other moms would like my EasyLunchbox System because it would save them time, but it’s been truly gratifying to find that my EasyLunchboxes are making such a difference to people of all ages, with or without kids, who are simply in need of an efficient, affordable, and green way to transport their food.”
