BIG DEMAND FOR A LITTLE NOTE DEMPSEY & CARROLL HOLDS FIRST EVER SALE ON INFORMAL NOTES

JULY 2006, New York City- Less can be more. Sometimes a smaller note is more appropriate than a heavy correspondence card or long letter sheet. Informals are essential to any proper stationery wardrobe. Their petite size makes them elegant, and the foldover style sets them apart from other components of the standard wardrobe. Dempsey & Carroll’s first ever sale on informals makes August the perfect time to order. Because informal notes are traditionally engraved with a monogram, Dempsey & Carroll is offering selected monogram styles at a reduced price as well.

‘The informal note has always been used by brides to write thank-you notes for wedding gifts, typically making it the foundation of a woman’s proper stationery wardrobe. But it’s appropriate for any short note. Informal notes are a great way to showcase a beautiful monogram so we’ve discounted some of our most popular monogram styles to encourage customers to try them,’ commented Lauren Marrus, CEO of Dempsey & Carroll. It’s the perfect way to start or add to an existing stationery wardrobe.’

The price for 100 informal notes, usually $225, is just $165 starting August 1st. The selected monogram dies on sale generally retail for $139 and will be just $110, a savings of more than 25%. Borders, liners, and return address engraving are available at an additional charge. The sale price is valid for the month of August, 2006.
