Is it just me, or are paper retailers feeling a big squeeze? It seems like I'm getting a lot of emails lately with discounts on personalized stationery, Christmas cards and gifts. I don't remember pricing being this aggressive last year. I get emails from Papyrus two times a week if not more:
... and I hear from Kate's about once a week:
...and I hear from Shutterfly, photoworks, and Kodak all the time. Am I wrong in thinking there are more discounts this year than last?



Kate's haven't been successful for years, especially now since they lost their flagship location. I suspect their multiple location opening strategy from years past is really biting them in the behind now.
