The Greeting Card Business Has Just Gotten a Little Uglier


CARLISLE, Pa., May 21, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Before you settle for yet another run-of-the-mill humorous greeting card from the local grocery store or card shop, take a look at a card from Ugly Troll Greeting Designs.

Ugly Troll Greeting Designs, Inc. is the creative effort of Bill Columbus along with his older brother, Joe. The Columbus brothers are not your average, run of the mill, entrepreneurs either. This is pretty evident not only by the company name, but also by the titles they give themselves. When most people start a business, they revel in the titles of President, CEO, or Vice President; not these guys. Bill goes by the title of Chief Troll, and his brother is the Trollian Elf. If you haven't gotten the picture that these guys are a few fries short of a happy meal, then take a look at their greeting cards.

The Ugly Troll Greeting Design card is adorned with original cartoon work from one or the other brother. No matter which, the cards are hilarious! According to Mr. Columbus, "Our primary goal is to provide a quality card that is funny. Both my brother and I enjoy drawing and this is an ideal medium to draw, have fun, and make someone laugh. Having our company set up this way allows us to be 'occasion-driven, rather than line-driven.'"

Customers will have at least 50 cards from which to select, which is pretty good for a start-up company. Their inventory has hunting or fishing cartoons on about half of the cards, while the remaining cartoons cover just about everything else. The cards that Ugly Troll Greeting Designs, Inc. creates cover the typical occasions and holidays; however, they also throw in cards to provide encouragement or a hardy congratulations...of course, in the Ugly Troll way!

Additionally, the Trollian Elf states, "We have surrounded ourselves with some real quality people that will allow us to concentrate more on the creative process and provide additional cards to the public on a frequent basis and create other products such as note pads, books, and possibly Ugly Troll apparel."
