This is Why Ellen A. Kaye Gets
Paid the Big Bucks
“Ellen came up
with the idea of a tagline for my business. The business name is a play on words
“Phoenician Blinds” and the original “Venetian Blinds.” Ellen understood
this right away, and I mentioned that many people don’t get it. She
suggested: “Phoenician Blinds, Venetian Blinds for Phoenicians.”
--Deborah Waggoner, Venetian Blinds
for Phoenicians
