Online versus instore

Which is better when shopping for stationery; online or in-store? Well, it depends on your needs and what you are buying. Of course we love for customers to have an in store experience at Three Little Birds so we can show off our knowledge and wonderful selection! Having said that, we have customers across the US who only buy online, why? Convenience!

If you like to touch the paper and see the images up close then in store is perfect. If you do not need to see as many choices then online is good as samples can be mailed to you often at a nominal cost...if at all!

The key to either shopping experience is providing information and asking questions. Here is a little list to help you with your stationery shopping no matter where you choose to do it!

Information to Share

• Event details (what type of event, indoors or outside, themes, formal or casual)
• Budget and quantity
• Your style (favorite colors, favorite fonts)

Questions to Ask

• Is there is a quantity minimum?
• How soon can I get these?
• Will I get a proof? If so, is there a fee?
• Is shipping included in the price?
• Is return address printing included?
• Can you print the addresses for my guests? If so, how much does this cost?

At Three Little Birds we are proud to offer our customers with both solutions with great customer service and added perks, like complimentary proofs.
