Assorted Greeting Cards Will Get me Organized!

I start out each year with the same thought: “I am going to get organized! This is the year that I will be the person I want to be.” Who is that, you might ask? I want to be the person who has a place for everything, and everything in its place. Not the person who has small piles of papers, laundry, magazines, bills etc. all over the house. I want to be the person who quickly and efficiently accomplishes all of those items on her to-do list. Not the person who loses her to-do list! I want to be the person who remembers all of her family and friends’ birthdays and sends them birthday cards that arrive either on or before the actual day. Not the person who remembers the day before, the day of, or let’s face it, more often than not the day after (okay, I’ll admit it, sometimes it’s been the week after).

This year I’m going to be armed with assorted greeting cards so that I am never caught off guard. Whenever I realize that I need to send birthday cards or thank you cards, I can go and find the perfect greeting card from my boxed birthday cards. My aunt recently came to a family get-together and went around asking everyone their birthdays and writing it in a book she had received as a gift called “The Book of Birthdays.” I thought it was the coolest thing. I thought I had found just what I needed to get organized and be on top of sending greeting cards, which obviously is no small feat. It’s basically just a book like a journal with all of the days of the year so you can write everyone’s birthday, anniversary, etc. in it and be ready to mail out assorted greeting cards. No more transferring birthdays and anniversaries to the new calendar year after year. Especially since last year I threw away the old calendar and didn’t realize until a week later that I hadn’t copied over all those very important dates! Of course, then I realized that I would actually need to remember to go pull out the book each week to see if there were any special occasions coming up that I needed to send greeting cards for, and I lost my enthusiasm.

Now I’ve signed up at one of those websites that will remind you via email or text message when you have an important occasion coming up and need to send greeting cards. You can determine when you want the reminder sent and if you need a second reminder, they even do that too. So I’m all set. Now, I just need to find my to-do list!

Business Sympathy Cards are Greatly Appreciated

In times of loss, the support and well wishes of family, friends, coworkers, and even business associates provide a level of comfort needed during such difficult times. Sympathy cards convey comforting messages in a very soft, reassuring manner. These greeting cards will help you express your sympathy condolences when support is needed the most.

In the corporate world, I feel that everyone should have business sympathy cards on hand to send to an associate or client to pay your respects. Business sympathy cards bring comfort and support that will be remembered. During difficult times, any kindness is welcomed by the family and the simple gesture of sending sympathy cards will be appreciated by those coping with the loss of a loved one. When coworkers or clients receive business sympathy cards, they’ll know that they are thought of and their business relationships are valued.

I feel sympathy cards are under-utilized, perhaps due to the difficult nature of the occasion. It’s certainly more enjoyable to send corporate birthday cards and holiday cards to business associates and clients, but reaching out during times of grief is much more meaningful and can help offer some solace. I truly feel that sympathy cards are important to send. The comforting message you provide by sending sympathy cards matters and will be greatly appreciated.
