1.about us
People soon came to Elliot and Betsy asking where the announcements came from and how much it would cost for them to have something similar. Unfortunately, without calling in favors, getting a custom-designed birth announcement would be too expensive for most people, news that Elliot and Betsy both reluctantly shared.
Why couldn’t a service be created to enable someone without a design background to make something special for their own child, an announcement that could be printed professionally and grouped with a nicely-colored envelope and label? Elliot asked the same question to two friends, Kent and Eric, who have photographic and software experience.
The result? NiftyNotes.
The birth of the idea that has become NiftyNotes began with the birth of a child. Elliot Strunk, a graphic designer, created acard to share with friends and family announcing the birth of hisson, Evan. He took some decent digital photos the day of the birth and worked to create a design that also incorporated Evan’sinky footprints. He had the announcements printed by a friend,picked up some colored envelopes at a local store, and createdmailing labels on adhesive-backed paper so each card wouldn’tbe addressed by hand. Then Elliot and his wife, Betsy, handedsome announcements to associates, neighbors, and clients, andmailed the rest to friends and family across the country.
