Wedding Ring Returned After Being Shipped With Party Supplies

Fort Wayne, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/05/2007 -- Phyllis Keel has worked at ShindigZ, an international prom and party supplier that ships products around the world, checking and preparing outbound shipments for customers since 1979. On January 29th, much to her dismay, Phyllis discovered that her beloved wedding ring from her husband of 42 years was missing from her finger. "I thought I had packed it (the ring) in a box. I immediately checked the last 6 or 7 boxes I had just packed but did not find it." Phyllis sadly accepted the fact that it would be unlikely that she would ever see her ring again. "My heart would not give up hope. I put it in God's hands."

On February 9th, hope shined on Phyllis. Mr. Jerry Anderson, a customer from Reno, Nevada, opened his ShindigZ order and found Phyllis' ring. Feeling that the ring should be returned to its rightful owner, Jerry called the ShindigZ customer service center to report he had found the ring. When ShindigZ customer service called Phyllis' building to inform her that her ring was being returned, shouts of joy erupted throughout the lines in the packing department! "I know God will bless him for his kindness. He sure made my day!"

The entire team at ShindigZ would like to thank Jerry Anderson for his act of kindness. His actions have made a huge impact in South Whitley, IN.

CostumesbyShindigZ.com Reports Popular Costumes for Halloween 2006

South Whitley, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/02/2006 -- With ghostly guises, pretty princesses, and bodacious buccaneers all the rage for this year's most haunting holiday, Halloween costume retailers are busy stocking shelves with scary, silly, and irresistible costumes. So what exactly are the popular and can't-scare-without costumes? According to CostumesbyShindigZ.com, a Halloween costumes and decor website, pirate attire is pillaging its way through holiday sales while creepy costumes for kids and sexy women's disguises are also among Halloween favorites.

Pirate costumes and accessories are by far the stand-out sales among the websites' 800 costumes. The top sellers in both the boys' and men's categories are the pirate hat with beard. Little boys are also opting for the Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Captain Jack Sparrow™ costumes and the men are going for the Davey Jones™ look. Ruby the Pirate Beauty is second in women's sales and even the family pet has gotten pirate fever with the Pirate Dog beating out all the other canine costumes. While girls are electing spooky outfits like the skull-covered Scarlet costume as number one, Pirate Lass is the second best seller for the traditionally princess category.

"Pirates are popular for Halloween not only due to Pirates of the Caribbean 2™ release," said Shep Moyle, company CEO, "but also because they're so versatile. Customers can make them cute, sexy, or scary and any age or gender can dress up like a pirate. Families or friends can even create a whole pirate crew!"

As with previous years, Star Wars™ and Barbie™ costumes are still favorites with children. The comical Plug and Socket costume is top among couples' costumes and toddler attire is popular with cute costumes like the Lady Bug Tutu.

Supplying consumers with the right costumes is the key to a successful Halloween season. As the second-most celebrated holiday, Halloween sales are expected to grow from $3.29 billion in 2005 to $4.96 billion according to the National Retail Federation's Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIGresearch. Retailers can get ready for the majority of sales to hit now — just a month before the haunting begins.

Costumes by ShindigZ, with more than 50,000 visits per week, polled visitors as to when they purchase their costumes. The company found that more consumers wait to purchase their costumes within a month of Halloween.
"Nearly 77 percent of respondents said they purchase their costumes within a month of Halloween and 33 percent wait until a week before the holiday," said Moyle. "We're prepared and excited to meet consumers' needs for the big Halloween rush."

Shindigz party poll reveals consumers in the mood for a party

South Whitley, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/05/2006 -- Although American consumers are beset with what seems to be never-ending amounts of bad news ranging from high gas prices to terrorism fears to concerns of a slowing economy, a recent poll of American consumers by Shindigz.com shows consumers are ready to escape from the day to day and throw more parties.

In one of its well-known "party polls",Shindigz asked American consumers if they planned on throwing more parties, less parties or about the same amount as last year in the coming months. Over 56% of consumers responded that they plan on throwing more parties with 36% responding that they would be hosting the same number of parties. Only 14% said they would have fewer parties in the coming months.

"I think it is a sign of the times," said Shep Moyle, Chairman of Shindigz.com. "The American consumer is looking today for an escape from the daily grind and the news of the day. Gathering together with friends is a way to connect and celebrate our relationships" Moyle said.

Shindigz is a leading on-line and direct marketing company specializing in parties, birthdays and special events serving all 50 states and 55 countries overseas. Shindigz offers over 38,000 items and over 4,000 items just for Halloween.

Moyle says Shindigz sees Halloween shaping up this year to surpass even last years records. Shindigz will be conducting its "party poll" for Halloween customers this year as well asking such questions as "who would you rather be for Halloween—George Bush or Hilary Clinton"?

Customer Response to Consumer Franchise Prompts the Switch

South Whitley, IN -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/01/2006 -- For over 80 years, Stump Printing Co., Inc. has been a leader in the Prom and party supply industry. Since their establishment in 1926, the company has sold enough crepe paper and curling ribbon to circle the globe more than 50 times! Always on the lookout for a reason to party, the company announced this week that they would officially be changing their name from Stump Printing Co., Inc. to ShindigZ, the World's Largest Party Superstore, which is the name of the company's fastest growing brand.

Since the launch of the Shindigz brand name in 1999, the unparalleled growth has impressed Shindigz Owner and Chairman of the Board, Shep Moyle. Sales of the 46,000 items featured in the ShindigZ catalogs and on the ShindigZ websites now make up more than 60 percent of the company's total business.

"While Stumps remains the leader in the prom and school markets with eight out of every ten schools choosing Stumps for their event supplies, we have chosen to change the public name of our company to reflect the increasing role of our consumer franchise and to match the well-known ShindigZ brand to our overall corporate identity," said Moyle

Webster's Dictionary defines a shindig as "a large or lavish party." Therefore, the name change makes the company's name as enjoyable as their festive products. According to company President Jeanice Croy, "[The Shindigz name] better represents who we are. It is positive, upbeat, and exciting. It symbolizes the fun those of us at ShindigZ bring to work with us every day and the delight we desire to bring to our customers."

Customers should not expect changes in any of the company's 8 catalogs or 12 websites. The time-honored tradition of the Stumps name will continue as their Prom & Party catalog enters its ninth decade of serving schools and party planners in all 50 states and 55 countries. The ShindigZ and BirthdayZ consumer catalogs will maintain their reputation as the premiere, one-stop, party supply megastores they have been for years. The company's internet business has been rapidly expanding, with ShindigZ websites currently handling over one million new visitors every month. Their web presence will only develop further as technology improves. The same top-notch service experienced by customers in the past will also remain and, as the company continues to grow, this service will expand and improve as well.

Branching off from the larger Stumps brand name, ShindigZ has blossomed into an umbrella consumer brand with numerous offshoots of its own. In addition to the ShindigZ parent brand there are BirthdayZ by ShindigZ, which focuses on children's birthday party supplies; BannerZ by ShindigZ, offering low cost banners for use in homes, restaurants, or at all types of celebrations; and Costumes by ShindigZ, the most recent addition to the ShindigZ family tree and the world's largest costume superstore.

Above all, ShindigZ instantly conveys the message of an enjoyable and fun-loving company; a company that continues to expand and adapt to the ever-changing global marketplace. "While the Stumps name has served us very well for the past 80 years," said Moyle, "we believe that this change will serve us even better for the next 80."
