You Speak, We Listen

In any business, when seeking and receiving customer input, not all comments will be entirely positive. Some will fit under the category of “Constructive Criticism” and we believe those are the ones which need to receive the most attention. If someone takes the time to constructively suggest a change, then the sincerity of their thought is usually unquestionable.

And so we listen – and adapt.

Thanks to our customers, our products and processes continue to improve. Here are just a few ways we’ve listened:

• We started with three keyhole slots for hanging purposes and, for a time, eliminated the center slot. Customer input brought back the center slot to make hanging as simple as possible. (Although we still recommend using the two side keyholes for installation over doorways.)

• To start, the Origins story for each carving was only on our website. The printed Origins story card is now included with each new carving due to customer request. Because some customers also indicated they wanted to be able to affix the carving story to the reverse of our carvings, we sized it accordingly and printed it on heavy, acid free stock expressly for this purpose.

• Our Plinth Base stand was inspired by a customer who wanted to display one of our carvings on their fireplace mantle top seasonally at Christmastime.
