Specialty Box

Q and Josh visited Chicago this week to see the sights and get some time with the and . Q got himself a new wand at so he can make some packaging magic!

We asked Jeff, “what is your story? How did you get here?” Jeff exclaims loudly, “OH, the things we do for love!” He tells us a little about his background -- theater production -- and how after spending a summer in Cape Cod, a resort town, he realized that he wanted to live somewhere that had the same strong feeling of community. “There is a collective purpose for the people who live and work in a vacation town; tourists! You know, you kind of rise and fall together. I really liked the idea of living and working in a resort community, and I always wanted to be in business for myself.”

He thought at 11, when his parents asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up, that his future held something more like a Xanadu style roller disco, but he is so thrilled to have ended up where he did.

Jeff noticed a lot of men sitting on the benches outside of these lady centric shops and realized that two things were happening; first, the men were bored and restless, and second (and maybe most important) “it reduced the amount of time women had to shop in the stores where they wanted to shop.” So he thought if he could keep the men occupied with fun and cheeky things to look at, their significant others would have more time to shop as well.

Jeff laughs and exclaims, “let’s be honest! The women are making most of the shopping decisions, and a woman can’t pick out a bathing suit as quickly as a man can!”

Good tidings and cheer from everyone here at Specialty Box and Packaging! May your day be filled with joy and your eggnog runneth over!

Santa is still hiding in all of our photos -- did you find him?!

Over the last few days we have introduced you to one of our amazing Specialty Box customers, Clint from the Silver Parrot. Of course we had to know what his favorite part of working with Specialty Box is, to which Clint firmly exclaimed, “because you’re PERFECT!”

He said some other stuff too, but you’ll just have to read his whole story!

And of course visit his website!
