In 1979 graphic designer Andrea Grossman revolutionzied the sticker industry with a simple, yet classic red heart. 30 years later, Mrs. Grossman’s in Petaluma has been designing and manufacturing stickers in the US for generation, after generation to enjoy. Mrs. Grossman’s just announced a special contest to celebrate their 30 years here in Sonoma County – a Facebook photo contest. Every Tuesday from November 10 – mid-February, Chip, Mrs. Grossman’s Pomeranian mascot will appear in a photo posted to the Facebook Fan Page. The first 3 people to post the right location will receive $30 worth of Mrs. Grossman’s stickers.
The photos were taken throughout the western states at some well-known and a few obscure locales. Don’t worry though. Chip will be barking out clues for some of the hard to guess spots. So fan Mrs. Grossmans today and get in on the guessing!
If your travels ever bring you to Sonoma County, make sure you set-up an appointment to tour the factory. If you are traveling with kids, even better! The intro video is hosted by a talking dog. The video is educational and fun for sticker lovers of any age. Even if you are not planning a fantastic Sonoma Wine Country getaway, check out the Mrs. Grossman’s website. They have helpful ideas for cards or projects divided by time, theme, difficulty, etc. They also have a wide variety of stickers for nearly every occasion or mood. In fact, I used some of these stickers as the design for a wedding shower invitation for my friend. I just purchased some plain invitations and dressed them up with stickers. MUCH more reasonable then buying designer cards.
Here is a great video from the people at Mrs. Grossman’s on how to use stickers to dress-up holiday gifts and cards:
So help Mrs. Grossman’s celebrate 30 years in business by taking at guess at Chip’s location and if you win the $30 in stickers stop back and let us know how you used them.
