Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
In business since 1983.
What is your primary product or service?
wedding invitations, reception accessories, ceremony accessories, personalized gifts, bridal party jewelry
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Pat's Creations became interested in my business when my oldest daughter got married in 1983. I had always wanted my own business but after I saw what was available to the brides, I decided it was time to start Pat's Creations.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I differentiate myself from others by offering personal service to the brides. I take particular attention to the wording of the invitation and offer suggestions on how the wording might be better. I always emphasize the fact that the suggestions are just that -- suggestions. In no way will that affect the order or the treatment of the customer.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I have one location in Green Bay, Wisconsin and I do not plan to expand my business.
