Testimonials

Thank you for making our first plush toy experience such a pleasant one. As newbies to the business, Mary and I greatly appreciate your quick responses to our many questions over the course of the past few months. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we look forward to working with you in the future as our company grows.

I would like to thank your company, and your team that has worked day and night. I know it was a very difficult task to achieve the way our bunny was being made, but you have done a great job. I am most pleased with it, and I would recommend your company to many others who are starting their business.

Thank you so much for bringing "Gingi" to life for us. We are extremely satisfied with the service you provided -- you were with us every step of the way from concept to delivery of the completed plush. It was a pleasure working with you.

They (Louie the Cat plush) arrived today and they are fabulous! Thank you so much! It has been a pleasure to do business with you! I will let you know if I need to reorder!

Being a small business owner I’m always very skeptical about where my money goes, but after a chat with Chris Gann of Gann Memorials, he set my mind at rest. After we agreed upon a partnership, the following months were nothing short of a pleasure. I truly wish all companies dealt with clients like Gann Memorials does. Friendly, helpful, informative and most importantly easy to reach, Chris always kept me up-to-date on the status of my production. He sent various clear shots from the factory and sent them on time.

I just received my plushes today and am a little overwhelmed with how great they look. The pictures that were sent to me over e-mail were nice, it looked like a fine little doll, but when I saw them in person…WOW! I held my plush up next to a Sanrio plush and there was no difference in color and quality. I’m extremely pleased with the entire pre and post production and strongly encourage anyone on the fence to go ahead and take the risk with Gann Memorials. I, honestly, cannot think of a single instance where I was dissatisfied. The entire process was totally stress-free, and I will definitely produce more dolls with them in the future. Stores have been asking when the plushes will be released and I can’t wait to show them off! VERY SATISFIED!

Having "Boomer" the Basset Hound produced was my first experience with anything like this, and to say the least, I was scared to trust anybody on the Internet. When Chris returned my call, I knew he was 'for real' and someone I could trust. He handled every phase of the production so professionally and promptly, I felt like I was dealing with someone I had known all their life. He kept me well informed of the progress at every stage and delivered on time, just as he said he would. In addition to all of this, Boomer turned out even better than I believed was possible. I thank Gann Memorials for a beautiful experience and will use them again!

Chris and Gann Memorials captured my book character "GOOBER" perfectly. Chris has responded instantly to every communication from my first inquiry. No hesitations, just a sincere attitude and desire to please. No second guessing my choice to work with Chris and Gann Memorials. Solid gold!"

I wanted you to know that we got the plushes on Monday! They look fantastic and I've already gotten great responses from them. The quality was excellent and consistent. I don't think we had 1 Pea damaged. Again, thank you so much for coming through like an absolute champ for us. We were desperate when we contacted you and you delivered as promised. You also showed that you care about the quality of the product and this is extremely important to us, so thanks again. You also saved us from an embarrassing situation at the Comic Con, had we been without the plushies, so thanks for saving our reputation! Take care and I know we'll talk again. I'll let you know how the Con goes!

I am in Japan and I received the pieces. They came out great! Thanks again to you and the factory!

Figaroos arrived today! I am very happy with the way they came out, including the tags. My family are among my first customers, so I think they will sale well. Thank you so much for all your hard work, I am quite pleased!

The plush samples arrived today and they look great! We had three custom designs and you nailed all three. And, you did this within tight time frames. Thanks so much!

Bruce Knapke - Enormini

My experience working with Chris of Gann Memorials has been nothing but exceptional. He has been extremely prompt and professional, never failing to keep me in the loop with our plushy production. Our finished pups are just what we hoped for! I highly recommend Gann Memorials for all your plushy needs!

Audra Furuichi - KimonoKitsy Studios/nemu-nemu.com

You made me smile today!!! They look wonderful and I can't wait to see 1500 kids' faces get one of these sweet looking loveable bears. We have 2000 kids to give them too, but wish I had enough for all of them and in time we will. Thank you for being a part of my dream to give Love, Hope, Care, and Support to needy kids.

Angel McCormick - Share-A-Bear

We have the dolls and they look fabulous. We're still putting the final touches on the Newgrounds.com store so we can accept payment for them, and we're putting together the toy characters web site as well to spread the word about them. We'll let you know how sales go. Thanks for everything you've done, we're really happy with how everything turned out.

As my first plush "Mr. Bear" project went so well, I knew I could entrust Gann Memorials with bringing more of my original characters to life. Watching "Big Butt Panda", one of my flagship characters, come into 3D form was like a dream come true. Not only did Chris and his staff show tremendous care in sculpting him, but they truly went above and beyond the call of duty to meet my deadlines and accomodate my production requests. (They even helped me with details that I didn't know were possible!) Throughout the entire project, Gann Memorials once again treated me like a VIP customer, which is a very rare courtesy in almost any industry. I'm really grateful for all the hard work that they put into my plush, and I will definitely be a returning customer for years to come.

P.M.B.Q. - pmbq.com

Gann Memorials has produced 5 designs for my client over the last 2 years. The latest one, a dragon, was very complex and the client needed to change a few things from the initial design. Chris Gann and his team were exceptional in working with us to get it right and didn't mind all of the changes. Now we have a perfect dragon! I find their prices competitive, products of good quality, and they provide great customer service-very prompt. I definitely recommend them."

Lindsay Hunter - Stellar Swag/gaiaonline.com

I just wanted to thank you for your great work! I was absolutely thrilled when I got the shipment of toys, they are SO cute! The quality and attention to detail is more than I could have hoped for. I feel really fortunate that I found a company that is so easy to communicate with. I was really nervous about the design and prototype process, but that all went so smoothly. I would recommend you to any picky artist- type like myself. I will definitely be using your company again. Thank you so much.

Thanks for all your work on this. He is awesome. We can't wait to have 500 of the "Captain Bookworm"!

Patsy Buchwald - Colorado Springs Balloon Classic

We wanted to take a moment to let you know how very much we have appreciated all of your efforts in helping my wife and I start our home-based business. This has been a dream of ours for many years, and putting your own business together is harder than most can imagine, especially if you want it to be successful and done right the first time. Our dream has always been to be able to supply children, who suffer from various afflictions, with comforting stories and plush doll figures that we have personally created. To be able to take our mental images and create the "perfect" dolls has been a difficult and trying process. We asked many various companies from around the world to help us in this endeavor. To most of them, they were simply filling another order, not creating our masterpiece that we wanted to share with the children. Working with you has been like a dream come true. It truly has been our pleasure giving you our business, because of our confidence in your abilities and the effort we have seen in all of your various designs for us. When you pour your heart and soul into an idea, you want only the best to represent those ideas. You have more than proved to us that you folks are the best at what you do, and we can't thank you enough for making our long awaited dream into a loving, cuddly, and comforting reality for us to be able to share with children everywhere. Our sincerest gratitude to you, sir.

Chris & Paul Phillips - Cozy Coz

From the first time we corresponded via E-mail, until the product was received by us, I couldn't say enough GREAT things about your company. It's nice to work with someone who makes you feel like you are their top priority. You managed to, in less than three months, design the product and create a custom made animal that is perfect for our event. They are crazy about them, and I look forward to a new design each year. You have a customer as long as we are here! Thanks for a job well done!!!!!

Lisa Barr - Four States Fair

I will mail the check first thing in the morning. We loved the first batch of lambs.

Jo Keller

Everyone just loved the lambs at church. They are a big hit. Every Moravian should buy 1 or 2.

Wendy Zimmerman

Our second order arrived safely on Friday, February 18. Already selling like hotcakes!

Ann Aurich - St. Paul's Moravian Church

Well, my lambs have come home. They are really nice. They will make a few people very happy. I am going to give them to them on the first Sunday of Lent since I missed Christmas. Thought maybe Lent would be a good season and they will be expecting nothing. Hopefully, they lift some spirits up.

May Schreiber

Thanks so much for the Lambs. We love them. We've kept the two extra for ourselves and donated the other 10 to the First Moravian Church in Easton, PA to sell at their Holiday Bazaar. They are so glad to have a new item to sell at the Moravian table.

John and Nancy Black

Thank you for the beautiful lambs! The shipment arrived safely, and I was
surprised and delighted to receive a complimentary lamb. Thank you so
much! I used it to talk about the Lamb of God in the children's message at
worship Sunday. The kids really were interested in it. Blessings on your
ministry!

Sharon Benson

Thanks for the lambs - they're darling. I have put one with my Moravian dolls made by our church women - Polly Heckewelder, Hannah Hummel, and Anna Nitchman. The other will be for my new, three-week-old grandson. I hope you had a successful run with your lambs.

Vangie Sweitzer

The 4 little bears I received last week are precious. The "Currie" bear has been the best seller for me, so far. Our area is big on doing the race for the cure in Susan Komen's name. She was a local woman who died of breast cancer. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the next 2 bears!

Tammy Conlee

The bears are beautiful, congratulations to you all! You gave birth to a wonderful product!

Linda Ray

"Hi, I just received my box of Spartans and love them. They are of great quality and idea. I feel that this is the start of a long running series. I'm also glad someone is giving respect to those who deserve it."

Neal Balkun

"I have purchased four types of the Gann Memorials to date. I purchased 5 of the O'KaCey bears, and one each of Spartan, Currie, & Misty. They are absolutely adorable and I like the fact that agencies are benefiting from these sales as well. I am in hopes of purchasing Hannah, Nicholas & Victor. Keep up the good work."

Mary

"I just wanted to let you know we had a very positive response to the Challenger memorial bears received today. We sold nearly all of the 24 we received and expect the few remaining will be grabbed up tomorrow."

Linda Butts

"I received my order today - like them all - LOVE Spartan! The concept is great and the execution of that concept is very well done - the unique swing tag design is a really nice touch."
