Dear Envelopments,
I appreciate how deeply you care about this. I do as well, probably more than you realize.
In keeping with my vow not to get caught in the middle, I’ve sited my sources with Mark, then abstained from direct contact with both Envelopments -and- angry retailers contacting me outside the blog. This is the only way possible to avoid “he said, she said” scenarios or the impression there are back channel agreements.
This protects you as much as it does me.
In the end, everything boils down to one question: Are home studios allowed to participate in Envelopment ads? [click here to continue…]
A stationery store owner forwarded this link to me, fuming over the fact Envelopments is including a home studio in an upcoming Martha Stewart Weddings ad, side-by-side with brick and mortar accounts. She pointedly asked why I’ve never blogged about the practice. Truth be told, I had no idea this was going on, and am equally ticked floored stunned.

Well, we shoulda known. Sooner or later, Patrick Chen (Epson’s Professional Imaging Product Manager) was going to get snapped up by someone and slipped out of our happy little printer-lovin’ clutches….
Congratulations, Patrick, and enjoy this first day on the job at your new digs.
And congratulations, Envelopments-—you guys just landed the Big Kahuna (and one of the nicest guys on earth).
