Our Personalized Christmas Cards Trump All

Christmas may be over, but our holiday cards seem to be inadvertently popping up all over the media. And the ironic part is our employees are the ones who are making these discoveries, simply by turning on the television or by flipping through a gossip magazine. Our latest unplanned feature was detected by our very own CEO, who was scanning the pages of a recent issue of Page Six Magazine from the New York Post when he stumbled across an image of design 491CS, which looks like this:

This popular Season’s Greeting card, purchased by Ivana Trump, is being featured with several other holiday greeting cards sent by notable New Yorkers including celebrity chef Todd English, newscaster Deborah Norville, and Dylan Lauren, owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar. Of all the cards on the page, I think ours is the nicest (do you sense a bit of partiality?).

This isn’t the first time that Ivana placed an order of personalized Christmas cards with us. She has purchased cards from us every year for the past few years. Here is one that she recently ordered, design 447CW, which she had personalized with an imprint:

It’s only natural that the former wife of the Donald would purchase her cards from The Gallery Collection. Like Ivana, our cards are the embodiment of luxury and elegance. Our embossed designs with rich foil accents are a classic choice…and they’re certainly extravagant enough for a patrician of the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

And since we’re on the topic of the Trumps, in 1998 we received an order from Trump Plaza for 23,525 units of retired design 001CX (Embossed Golden Pines by Walter Brooks). The employee ordering the cards volunteered to our representative the following tale: In the process of selecting this card, the employee’s team had collected over one hundred sample cards from a large number of greeting card publishers. The team was then asked to narrow the collection down to the best seven cards for presentation to a selection committee, which would then select the final card. All seven of the cards chosen were published by The Gallery Collection. And so the moral of the story – our personalized Christmas cards trump all.
