Creo Communico-Thank You

A Special Thank You to Creo Communico



Far too often I become busy and over look the importance of stopping long enough to say Thank You.

You know how that is. Small business owners perform that great balancing act between, family, working full time, and our own business. Personally, I get caught up with customers and forget that my customers also include my support system that works hard behind the scenes to help me make it all happen.

Ria's Collectables will soon be opening a sister company and have decided to change all of our web hosting needs to Creo Communico.

What will be new:

We will be placing a special area in the store for special announcements.
Our shopping cart will automatically charge shipping.
Our blog will be there to help save our customer's time between going from several different web sites.
We will also be sporting new web pages with exciting new products.

Greatest Importance:

Because of the business values of Creo Communico and the strong work ethics that they have continued to prove, we have added them to our trusted list of resources. Ria's Collectables is an accredited business through the BBB. For the security of our customers, integrity of each business that we work with is our number one priority.

With the hard work that Creo Communico LLC has done for me behind the scenes, it is only appropriate to take this time to say "THANK YOU"

Any purchase you make for your home should be carefully thought out, researched, and planned.
