We all get email that leaves us shaking our head. I think this is the first time I’ve done so in amazement. The subject was “No finer press than A Fine Press.” What a way to grab attention!
G’Day (evening for you in FL) Matthew!
Love the Facebook, website, and, most importantly, the stationery work! You have a great sense of typography, color combos, and stock choice especially with Karen Ard stationery suite you did. Surely you’re busy this season and I don’t want you to remember me as the guy that kept you from playing jazz (as I listen to David Sanborn) 😉I work for StationeryHQ which is a back end user site that allows artists like yourself to print out work for your clients. Though it’s free to sign up and browse around to our selection I realize that you probably aren’t looking for someone else to print your designs at this time. But we might fit in some way…?Either reach back to me or you can delete this message, mark me as SPAM, and I can find a dark corner to sob in,Let me know how I can help, Matthew!ChrisChris HernandezProgressive Solutions
I was so impressed by the time and attention Chris committed to writing an email that demonstrated some knowledge of my work and an understanding of where his company fit into my world. That may not be a lot, but you better believe I’m a fan now.
I asked Chris for permission to repost this email. If you need the type of work they do at StationeryHQ, contact Chris at
“Either reach back to me or you can delete this message, mark me as SPAM, and I can find a dark corner to sob in” I shall commit this paragraph to memory.
I’ve never had a solicitation stop me in my tracks like this one.
Most importantly, he didn’t use my inquiry form to do it!
