In an effort to manage the high expectations of our customers we have halted the printing of our holiday catalog. Due to dramatic fluctuations in the dollar over the past few months, our current catalog has been rendered virtually obsolete. With so many of our products being imported we are always adjusting our pricing and product line based on the value of the dollar and availability of product. Unfortunately, with the long lead time required for a catalog we have been unable to provide accurate pricing or products. This has caused a great deal of frustration for us as a company but more importantly for you, our valued customer. We strongly encourage all of you to shop online with us this holiday season as our website is always up to date with the latest pricing and products.
Go Green and Shop Online
At igourmet.com we are always looking at ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment. The only silver lining in not mass producing a catalog is that we will no longer be taking part in one of the most damaging industries to the environment. We realize that this may have a negative impact on sales but when you realize that 8 million tons of trees a year are needed for catalog printing and we are unable to meet our customers high expectations for accurate products and pricing, we hope you will support our Green mission to reduce our carbon footprint and shop with us online whenever possible.
We do realize that some of you do not have the ability to shop online and we will be doing limited printings of our catalog for next year. The newer version will be more environmentally friendly and give us some added flexibility to react to price changes in a timely manner.
Sincerely,
The staff at igourmet.com
