Press Release: Whisker Wealth Opens a Branch Inside a Cardboard Box

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whisker Wealth Management today announces the opening of its newest branch, located inside a cardboard box. The branch was established after a customer asked, ‘Can I invest in the box?’ The firm said yes. The box has since become a flagship location.

Why a box?

Research shows that cats are strongly drawn to boxes. The firm conducted a thorough study, which consisted of leaving a box on the floor and watching it. Within eleven seconds, a client had entered. Within a minute, another client had joined. Within an hour, the box contained five clients and a stapler, none of whom had been invited.

Features of the new branch

The branch is designed for convenience and has the following features:

• A flap, which functions as a door and a window
• A cushion, which functions as a reception desk
• A smaller box inside, for confidential advice
• A hole in the side, for viewing the market

There is no heating, no lighting, and no signage. The firm regards this as a luxury offering.

Services offered

At the box, clients may receive:

• A short consultation, with a blink
• A longer consultation, with a nap
• A Premium Consultation, which is the same nap in a corner

All services are free. The firm hopes to cover costs through the sale of treats.

Statement from leadership

‘We are delighted,’ said Sir Reginald Fluffington. ‘The box is a place of warmth and trust. Also, I am in it. I have been in it since Tuesday. I have been told the branch is now open and I have chosen to remain.’

Challenges

The firm acknowledges a few teething problems. The box is smaller than predicted. The flap has been chewed. A passing parcel courier has twice attempted to take the branch away. The matter has been referred to the legal department, which is another box.
