Re: Why "Your Buddy With The Christmas Store"?
Dear Reader -
The reason behind the selection of our slogan is very simple. When I managed my mom and pop's Christmas store in Bayonne, New Jersey. I always had prided myself on the fact that I was able to get along well with our customers. Every customer who walked into the store was a friend. Over the 30 years managing this Christmas store, I was lucky enough to foster some wonderful relationships with outstanding people from all over the world.
Before the internet, I was a SYSOP or system operator and I managed a computer bulletin board system. People use to log on and buy/sell/trade retired Department 56 Villages and Snowbabies. Users dialed in with 14.4 modems from all over the world. The BBS service was run on a IBM XT. Once the Internet infrastructure was finally in place, there was no need for a computer bulletin board system anymore and we built a retail web site instead (one of the first). People came to our Christmas store in Bayonne from literally all over the world. We once arranged for a bus load of customers to visit the showroom in Bayonne from Long Island, New York. The Christmas store served a wonderful lunch and the day was great for everybody! These people inevitably brought their friends and family and many people would introduce me as "my buddy with the Christmas store"
Well now the brick and mortar store is gone, but it is certainly not forgotten. The level of friendly competent service exists here too on the Christmastopia.com web site. The values whereby the customer is king is the culture within Team Santa Inc. You should experience wonderful service on all our Internet properties.
We look forward to continuing to meet terrific people from all over the world. Email and social media are great too. Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
So that's it, in a nutshell. The reason that we selected our slogan as "Your buddy with the Christmas store".
