LovePop is a Cambridge-based greeting card company taking a different tack on the archaic industry. Instead of lame two-dimensional cards with cliche greetings, theirs are 3D, intricate and beautiful. They're expanding, too, and are by all accounts poised for some pretty big things.
They also seem to have a sense of humor.
In addition to their cards depicting monkeys swinging from jungle trees, the Las Vegas sign or the USS Constitution, they've just unveiled two new designs by way of a Kickstarter campaign: Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Deez Nuts.
For the uninformed, Deez Nuts is not the name of a real person, of course, but the guise of a 15-year-old kid from Iowa who's currently polling rather impressively in North Carolina against Trump and Hilary Clinton.
Marketing manager Veronica Armstrong alerted me to the campaign, which set a hefty goal of $100 (it's now at $154!). "We blew right through it," she told me when I brought it up, adding they're looking in to offering a stretch goal. "Any suggestions?"
"Our goal is to celebrate the unexpected," Armstrong added. "We put it on Kickstarter so you can celebrate someone you love or someone you hate with a Presidential pop up card. We love the energy the Donald brings to the political debate and want to memorialize it just in case it goes away."
LovePop, "not your typical greeting card company" indeed.
