The voting was too close for us to ignore, so Passion Pink and Virgin White are both now available at the store. Swatch rings that are ordered going forward will have both colors. If you have a previous swatch ring and would like us to mail you the new colors, please email shaun@kissweddingbooks.com and he'll hook you up! There may be a slight delay in books ordered with either white or pink, as we're getting the covers stocked from our leather supplier, but we're glad to be able to bring you these two awesome colors!

Thinking of all of you.

Get KISSed.

This is from Shane Snider's post, on OSP:

A little backstory here:

I was really anxious to hear Kevin Swan talk about album sales at OSP South. I had been moving to a very simple a la carte system, and the album credit seemed to fit in perfectly and provide opportunity for more revenue after the wedding. After hearing him speak, I was hooked.

In December, after emailing Kevin about Kiss Wedding Books, I made the decision to get rid of all my other samples and go with Kiss. This presented a dilemma, since I had several really big books and a bridal show quickly approaching. In mid-December, I ordered my first Kiss book. I asked Kevin if there was any possibility of making the book in time for the show, which was only a couple of weeks away. He said probably not. I totally understood and realized it was a pretty ridiculous request.

Fast forward a couple of weeks, and I get an email just several days after submitting my album design: "The little elves have finished early." The book arrives just in time for my first after-show meeting today. 

On the book: It's beautiful and elegant. The leather is so soft, I want to put salt on it and eat it. It's that tasty. There's a great little canvas bag. No more packaging peanuts all over my house - they've made a brilliant little plastic packing mold.

I'm honestly just blown away by the customer service. I can't wait to show the bride-to-be today. I feel like it's the first day of my new, smarter business plan. No more BS... no more preview windows, frilly imprinting or anything else that slows down the ordering process.

Thanks, Shane; and if you do end up eating your KISS Book, I don't think that falls under our replacement warranty.

Get KISSed.

Many of you have been getting boxes with our new, experimental packaging. Doodle Do has some exclusive video of our new packaging: Check it out! By the way, the Little KISSes tuck inside the 4" top tier of the clamshell design along with all the other KISS goodies...

Talk about quick! Right after I posted the blast about Virgin White being available in a couple weeks, I got the info that it's available now! 

WOO!

New Facility

KISS quickly outgrew our facility in Orange County, thanks to all of you! We've moved production to a 16,000 square-foot building in Utah--chalk full of shiny book-making equipment. New cutters and stackers will allow us to build many more (about 4x more!) books per day than we were doing in OC. We're continuing to experiment with and improve our product, without raising our price! Obviously, those of you in OC who were used to picking your albums up, you'll have to order shipping. :( Sorry about that!

New Packaging

Some of you have seen the new packaging already. We're continuing to tweak it, but we're glad you all have enjoyed it so far.  Happy New Year, KISSers! Looking forward to an awesome 2009.

Get KISSed.
