Let me tell you what a difference it made to me when I received actual business birthday cards you could feel and touch. I own a consulting business and we order many marketing promotional items for our clients. Many sales representatives from promotional companies contact us but I had my steady supplier that we had used for years. When my sales contact left the company for a change in careers, I stayed with the company but was ultimately not happy with the service I was getting.
I had met with a sales representative from another company approximately a year prior on what must have been my birthday. Low and behold, 1 year later, I received a beautifully crafted business birthday card from that same sales rep. I was not only impressed by the thought, but also by the quality of the card. I immediately got in touch with the rep and placed an order to try their company out.
I am now happily using his company as our primary supplier of promotional material and all because he made such a great impression on me with a high quality and thoughtful birthday cards.
I now make it a point to find out all of my clients’ birthdays and have a box of quality birthday cards at my finger tips ready to send to my clients. I can’t tell you how many comments I get from them when they receive their card!
That’s great. It’s your birthday some people who are closed to forgot it was your birthday and lo and behold arrives a birthday card from a business associate who made a point to remember your birthday. That is impressive.
That’s definitely an impressive touch. Its the little things that tend to matter most.
It is so nice to feel remembered by those other than close friends and family on your birthday. I received a birthday card from our printer, and I remember feeling i was important to them – because they took the time to show me they were thinking of me!
As the President of our local Woman’s Club in Town, We send out Birthday cards to residents who reach ‘milestones’ or are battling some sort of issue, and I can tell you from experience, nothing beats getting a call, or a personal Thank you from the individual. It truly can change a persons attitude and give them a lift.
