The Angel Company is Closed

2011-08-23T14:52:00.003-05:00

Here is the message on our Corporate site.
"It is with great sadness that I must announce we are hanging up our wings. These past several years our industry has faced enormous challenges and as a result, we have seen many companies close their doors. We continued to hope we could see The Angel Company through this recession and back into prosperous days and we held onto this hope as long as we could.

One of the largest challenges affecting each of us is our industry not being able to support all of the direct sales companies in our field. Even in a healthy economy, we are a niche market trying to compete for a very limited number of distributors. As a small company, this has been a grueling challenge for us. Times are tough for everyone ~ in direct sales and retail environments.

I would like to thank each of you for being an customer and Angel these past 14 years. Indeed, it has been a pleasure to serve you.

The Angel Company"

We Angels were told several days ago. I have no hard feelings. I will continue to create cards. I wish everyone associated with The Angel Company good health, and prosperity!
Keep checking my blog. I may sell a few thngs.
