Not Your Average Stationery Shop
We were excited to learn all about Ashley’s Custom Stationery and how they have gotten where they are today, so we sat down with the owner, Ashley Killpack. Ashley has been creating customized stationery for over 25 years. She got her start working from home doing calligraphy and wedding invitations. As her business grew, she decided to open her own retail location in 2000. Ashley’s Custom Stationery has continued to expand and grow. Today, Ashley and her team offer a boutique full of darling gifts, accessories for the home, and extensive lines of invitations, stationery, and personalized items.
The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that makes Ashley’s Custom Stationery stand apart from its competitors. Ashley started by telling us a bit about what they are able to offer:
“The possibilities are endless for your special event. We specialize in making stationery and other items that are classic, sophisticated, contemporary, elegant, and stylish.”
She continued, telling us about how Ashley’s Custom Stationery is able to stand out from the competition by offering incredible customer service from an experienced and knowledgeable staff:
“Our knowledge and customer service are what separates us from similar companies. We are willing to go out of our way to do extra for a customer. Right now, we are doing a lot of wedding invitations and everything that goes with the wedding as well, such as programs, menus, personalized napkins, place cards, and bag tags, just to name a few. We try to help you create a theme that starts with your invitations and carries throughout your event.”
Building Success With Passion
Ashley’s Custom Stationery has earned an incredible reputation over the years, so we wanted to know more about how they have gotten their name out and grown their business. Ashley told us that the best advertising is word of mouth. She also keeps in touch with her community and clients by posting photos of their finished products on Facebook and Instagram.
There are many businesses out there that are looking to build as impressive a reputation as Ashley’s Custom Stationery has managed to. We asked if Ashley could share any expert advice with these companies. Here’s what she had to say:
“You have to stay involved all the time. Know your product, and make sure you are doing something that you are passionate about.”
