" Whitney English, 29 Whitney English, LLC stationery line launched 2002 Oklahoma City, Okla.  whitneyenglish.com  I worked in a stationery store throughout high school and college, but the first time I thought about going into wholesale stationery was after graduation. I had no knowledge of the printing side of things, but I did know what retailers were looking for and how to get it to them. I knew how to market it, and I knew what sold in our store, what the consumer was looking for. It was an amazing perspective. And I had money saved from all of the babysitting I did over the years. One of the dads helped me write a business plan. My designs are a little bit edgy. They definitely appeal to the traditional consumer who wants to differentiate herself from other people. They&amp;#039;re not froufy. You could write a note to Emily Post or the Beverly Hillbillies. Now we have over 600 different designs. I love the flexibility of stationery. It&amp;#039;s only paper, so if it flops, you can throw it away and come up with a new one. It&amp;#039;s an adventure.
