Marie Hornback, local protocol and etiquette expert, has joined forces with her husband, Steve, to open Sign With Prestige.  This new shop originated from the Hornback’s love of fine pens and as a spin-off from Marie’s protocol and etiquette business.  Many of the protocol seminar attendees presented a need for business appropriate notes and stationery as well as upscale leather accessories that would present a polished and professional image.  Marie also realized the lack of choices for professional women and will offer computer bags and business bags that will appeal to women in addition to products for their male counterparts. 

Sign With Prestige will open its doors on Wednesday, May 21, and will offer fine writing instruments: Parker, Waterman, Sheaffer, Waterford, Lamy, Namiki, Pilot, A.T. Cross, Delta, as well as some handcrafted, one of a kind, pens.  Leather desk accessories, briefcases,  business card holders will be available for both men and women, as well as Filofax organizers and leather padfolios.  You will find products for personal use and gift giving (don’t forget Father’s Day) – travel clocks, desk clocks, letter openers, pen holders, business card holders.  The stationery department is “under construction” with additional brands for business and personal use arriving in the next few weeks.

Most of the stationery products, notebooks and journals will be eco- friendly.  Marie and Steve are actively researching products that help preserve and maintain a healthy environment.  You can expect to see the addition of inventory with a “green appeal.”

Corporations and businesses will find quality products for gift giving, employee recognition, and business branding.  Stationery products for company logos and embossing will be offered in addition to diaries, agendas, and a variety of calendars.

You will find a comfortable corner to unwind and enjoy a cup of coffee in this customer friendly shop.  Free wii-fi is available, also.  The Hornbacks invite you to come in, browse, ask questions, and offer suggestions for products you would like to see in their store.
