The story of Anderson’s began in 1968 when Charles B. Anderson purchased the Walter’s Company, a modest direct-mail organization located in Waseca, Minn. Originally a 32-page prom and decorating catalog, Walter’s was mailed to high schools throughout the country. Within the next three years the Walter’s catalog, now renamed Anderson’s, experienced rapid growth and the decision was made in 1969 to move the prom and party company to White Bear Lake, Minn.

The Anderson’s Prom Catalog was first printed in color in 1969. In 1977 Anderson’s published a companion Homecoming Catalog to service the country’s high schools’ special Homecoming needs. Encouraged by the company’s continuing growth, Mr. Anderson relocated his business to an even larger facility in White Bear Lake. Originally specializing in decorations, the catalog soon began offering imprinted glassware, frames and invitations, as well as key chains, photo albums and candles.

Anderson’s has continued to expanded its product line to include the unique needs of elementary schools, cheerleaders, pep squads, booster clubs, post-prom and post-graduation parties, in addition to holiday and seasonal celebrations.

Very recently the online shopping has taken pace and most of the companies actually encourage their perspective customers to go online shopping by introducing online discounts on various items. Online shopping helps us to avoid parking hassles, traffic jams and we all know that we now have actually started preferring to buy online. This is where online shopping becomes a dream for everyone.

Online shopping revolution has only just started and more and more web sites are going online as this is an imposing way to offer this service and that their websites will become even more impressive and easy to use for the consumer. People particularly women will forever love to go shopping but I think for certain goods, for instance larger and more luxurious items, that they will be mostly bought online.
