Custom orders are increasing! The summer shows brought Classic Legacy more and more clients that are looking for custom gifts that really convey their style. That is our area of expertise. Our graphic artist takes a good quality digital image and works with clients to create a wonderful custom charm or medallion. The Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans re-opened on July 1, 2009 for the first time since Katrina. It is a historic landmark hotel with wonderful amenities. Classic Legacy was chosen to create five custom bottle stoppers that reflect their unique themes. We do custom design for many large resorts and hotels but also for small boutiques. Remember us for custom gifts.

Sometimes when you live in a city every day we forget what makes your city distinctive. Each city and town has something unique and special. Charlie and Chet the owners of All Things Grand in Carthage, Missouri recognized that their Jasper County courthouse is what is unique for their town. This courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places. Four years ago they asked Classic Legacy to develop gifts using the image of the courthouse. Permission was granted from the artist to use this wonderful painting. We have done a variety of gifts with this beautiful image including a business card holder, wine bottle stopper, photo frame, wine cooler, and wine tool box. These unique custom gifts are of course only available in their store and they have found that locals as well as visitors like to have a memento of their town. All it takes for us to produce custom product is your jpeg image or logo! We would love to share with you how your unique event or landmark can be used to develop custom gifts.

Each year thousand of horse lovers make their way to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby. My friends tell me that one of their favorite things to purchase as a memento of trips is a Christmas ornament. The Brown Hotel had us design this custom Christmas ornment. It is solid brass and silver plated in an antique finish. The finding itself is a reproduction from the Victorian Era. We then embellish the ornament with The Brown Hotel Logo. It is a rememberance of a great weekend in Louisville.

Why Return Visits are Made
Classic Legacy has longstanding relationships with Historic Hotels. My mother's 85th birthday was in March and my sister and I wanted to celebrate in a very special way. We chose to spend the weekend in the Historic Hotel, The Raphael in Kansas City, MO. This trip gave me an insight into why customers make return visits to Historic Hotels or for that matter any place of business that they patronage.
Customers come back to businesses because they were treated well and they had a good experience. Jim Champy in his recent book Inspire says, "Customers come back because a good business brings authenticity to everything they do, creates new products that reflect the best of what they do, and a good business does well by doing good."
From assisting us in unloading our luggage, to the thoughtful actions of the staff the atmosphere of warmth at THE RAPHAEL was established quickly during our visit in March. The newly remodeled room with electronic window covering controls, and the plush bedding was delightful. Historic Hotels often house full service, top quality restaurants,The Chaz, located in The Raphael, was a delightful example of this trend. I will always remember our visit to The Raphal as an example of a business bringing "authenticity to everything they do".
Gifts that Classic Legacy has designed for many Historic Hotels help them make customers want to make return visits. Our bottle stoppers are a great memento to remember a wonderful trip and also provide a useful tool to be used at home. Nomi Albano at the Hotel Del really likes our design and thinks it reflects the Hotel Del image very well.
I know I'll always remember my visit and make an effort to visit more Historic Hotels.
