The real joy of this store is the customers — and Christy and the rest of the Runaway gang have appreciated the kind words so many of you have offered since we opened our doors in June of 2013! Here is just a sample of the recent feedback we’ve received from some of the people who have helped make Runaway Art & Craft Studio the fun place to shop, learn and craft that it has become!
A couple of months ago a Facebook customer offered the following comment: “I had a wonderful experience meeting the owner and some of the staff. The level of professionalism, knowledge and passion are incredible. I highly recommend visiting here for their products and support.” — We appreciate recommendations like that one!
One customer commented last July on Square that “I love you guys. Feels like ‘family’ in your store.” — We work hard for that feeling; and our customers ARE our family!
In June another said “Always great service at Runaway Art and Craft Studio!” — Well, we aren’t perfect. But we do try to do what we can to make our customers happy!
Another June comment was specific to Christy’s Beginning Copic class: “I really enjoyed learning so much about the pens and shading and stuff. Very valuable workshop for me. thanks!”
In May we heard from a Square customer who said “The owner, Christy, and her crew are top notch! Always friendly and helpful!” — It certainly helps to have top-notch customers as well!
Of course, we love the folks who praise the selection, and the classes — but we really treasure the repeated comments about the times that one or the other of the folks here have gone the “extra mile” for a customer. We want that to be our trademark.
