Remanents card and gift company turns to the Web to help people rediscover the magic
November 11, 2005 (Press Release) --
For immediate release
Haddonfield, NJ. November 10, 2005—In this techno-savvy, electro-charged world people are connected more than ever before. But are they making a real connection?
Remanents founder Monica Anderson wonders all the time and fears for the future of relationships. “I don’t care how plugged in you are. Text-messaging someone ‘I love you’, just isn’t the same” says Monica.
Everyone would admit that they enjoy looking through the mail and finding a hand-written card. Even the most wired person would put down the Blackberry and raise her hand in agreement. The trouble is, so few people feel comfortable or confident putting pen to paper.
“There’s no shame. It’s always been hard for people to express their feelings,” says Monica. “Hence the whole Cyrano de Bergerac story. Technology has just added to our problem.” And no matter how convenient, technology doesn’t excuse anyone from the etiquette essentials like the thank you note or get well card.
To guide and encourage those reluctant to write a heartfelt card or note, Remanents uses the one thing that has caused the most atrophy in our collective emotional muscles—the Internet. The company’s website, www.remenants.com, is loaded with free help for people looking to drop the emoticons and connect with some thought.
