Dove Industry

New company Dove Industry recently approached Tell to help in the development of their brand.

by Damian Gibson

How much does true love really cost? According to the Christmas Price Index US$21,465.56.

In the Christmas carol, 'The 12 Days of Christmas,' a series of gifts are given by a true love, from 12 drummers drumming to a partridge in a pear tree - in reality the cost of all this is quite pricey.

Since 1984, PNC Financial has calculated the real-world cost of the gifts given in the song at today's prices.
