Celebrating 30 years Made in USA While Rick Ruffner started Avanti in 1980 as a post-card distributor, it wasn’t until 1982 that we started publishing our own cards. From the start, Rick was committed to printing cards in the USA, and that remains true to this day. 100% of the Avanti and A*Press cards shown in this issue of our product magazine are printed in the USA. Some things never change!

Total Wine and More

Retailer Spotlight:

800.2.AVANTI

“As a growing company, we were really looking for a card vendor that provided elegant and entertaining product and amazing customer service. This is what we have gotten from Avanti and the A*Press line.

Our store teams and customers love the assortment and have only good things to say about their dealings with the Avanti team.”

- S arah Goldhirsch Buyer and Manager, In Store Merchandising Total Wine & More

In their review of multiple lines, A*Press won out because it matched the store’s emphasis on upscale products at an affordable price.

When America’s largest independent fine wine store decided to add greeting cards to their merchandising format, they had a field of over 2,000 publishers from which to choose.

The store chose the new 80 pocket display as a one-stop kiosk, providing an accessible range of Birthday cards and all occasions to satisfy gift givers, party-goers, and card lovers. in multiple states.

“A*Press has a quirky attitude and that little bit of edginess that made it very attractive to Total Wine,” says Avanti’s Deb Marxhausen. “They wanted to stand out from the crowd and offer something unique that was still made in USA, and A*Press was the answer!”

A family-owned independent pharmacy and gift store, Menhdam Apothecary

has been carrying Avanti cards for 10 years. They added A+Plus Motion cards to their display in March of 2011.

“I brought MOTION in because Avanti always sells well.

I liked the new line because it offered something new and witty and the price points did not make a difference. It is funny, with the graphics going the extra mile to offer customers a continued great product from Avanti, and it is selling well!”

Rising Stars

New Cards from Avanti

Where did that last year go? We published nearly 100 new Avanti greeting cards in 2011, providing a constant flow of new designs. Many of them have risen to the top of our best seller lists based on their performance at retail and are now considered “must haves”. There is no sure science to guessing which cards will become stars – we’re often pleasantly surprised by the choices that shoppers make.
