We have heard that some dealers would like a lesson in how to use our catalogues in terms of reading the information correctly, quoting or understanding the product better. We make every effort to make the albums easy to use, but understand that all companies are different and sometimes a little help is all you need. Please send an email to cd@consortium.tc and let us know your concerns and interests in getting to know the albums better. We will also be conducting Webinars for a more open forum, look for more info coming in your emails.

Please feel free to email any suggestions, comments or ideas that you would like to share with The Consortium. This email is supported by our customer development department and is monitored daily. Your comments will be forwarded to the appropriate departments. We want to hear what you think about our products, customer service, production and whatever else you fancy. We find your feedback invaluable for us to grow and succeed.

The invitation sets the tone for the affair and whether it is funky and wild or classic elegance, fashion is incorporated in many ways. Color and texture are creative ways to incorporate fashion into your invitation. According to the latest trend reports from Europe, metallics are hot as well as grey, paired with any color. As far as textures, look for matte finishes, foil and leafing. We would be happy to customize an invitation for you to reflect your personal sense of fashion.

• On-line Ordering - Consumers will be able to order from a selected offering of invitations on the consortiuminvitations.com website. Once they have decided on an invitation ensemble, they will be directed to the "Find a Dealer" section on our site. When they choose a dealer, their order will be sent to that dealer electronically.

• On-line Previewing - This site allows you or your customer to preview invitations on-line. You can select and preview the verse, font, ink color, motifs, monograms, paper layers, ribbons and envelope liners.

• Submit Orders Electronically - The order will be ready for submitting once you have completed the selection options and finished previewing. When you are done previewing, you will then see a "Product Summary" which shows you a breakdown of your order, the item number, quantity, cost per item and a grand total. You can print this out for your reference. Then hit the submit button and the order will submit to the dealer chosen.

• Easy to use on-line order form - Go to the dealer log-in and use the order form provided. Type in the information, hit the submit button or you can print it out and fax to us.
