What’s New? When you do business with a company whose name – Avanti – means moving forward, you can expect to see new things, innovative products, even a few surprises. We are Moving Humor Forward in 2012 with new products that you can’t find anywhere else.

The Avanti brand has been freshly minted at our new $2.99 retail price point, now shipping with exciting new graphic envelopes. Our expanding A+Plus collection of MOTION and

StandOut™ cards deliver exceptional value at accessible prices, with brand new designs in both collections. And our A*Press collection enters its fifth year, rejuvenating the market with a quirky mix of great graphics and witty words that is very unique.

There are nearly 600 cards in this special catalog edition of our product magazine. Watch our website for more new products and special offers throughout the year.

Some Things Never ChangeCelebrating 30 years Made in USA

While Rick Ruffner star ted Avanti in 1980 as a post-card distributor, it wasn’t until 1982 that we star ted publishing our own cards. From the star t, Rick was committed to printing cards in the USA, and that remains true to this day. 100% of the Avanti and A*Press cards shown in this issue of our product magazine are printed in the USA. Some things never change!

Retailer Spotlight: Total Wine and More“As a growing company, we were really looking for a card vendor that provided elegant and entertaining product and amazing customer service. This is what we have gotten from Avanti and the A*Press line. Our store teams and customers love the assor tment and have only good things to say about their dealings with the Avanti team.” - Sarah Goldhirsch

Buyer and Manager, In Store Merchandising Total Wine & More

When America’s largest independent fine wine store decided to add greeting cards to their merchandising format, they had a field of over 2,000 publishers from which to choose.

In their review of multiple lines, A*Press won out because it matched the store’s emphasis on upscale products at an affordable price.

“A*Press has a quirky attitude and that little bit of edginess that made it very attractive to Total Wine,” says Avanti’s Deb Marxhausen. “They wanted to stand out from the crowd and offer something unique that was still made in USA, and A*Press was the answer!”

The store chose the new 80 pocket display as a one-stop kiosk, provid-ing an accessible range of Bir thday cards and all occasions to satisfy gift givers, par ty-goers, and card lovers. in multiple states.

Where did that last year go? We published nearly 100 new Avanti greeting cards in 2011, providing a constant flow of new designs. Many of them have risen to the top of our best seller lists based on their performance at retail and are now considered “must haves”. There is no sure science to guessing which cards will become stars – we’re often pleasantly surprised by the choices that shoppers make. For that reason, your best bet is to give every new card a chance on your display. Order new cards today, they are the rising stars of tomorrow! We’ve added a star next to current “must haves” in this catalog.
