Greeting Cards Highlight – Religious Christmas Cards

I think of myself as a religious person; I go to Church on Sunday and always try my best to turn the other cheek. It dawned on me while I was choosing my yearly Christmas card that I should be sending religious Christmas cards, after all Jesus is the reason for the season. I decided on a Nativity scene and narrowed it down to these:

Peace Joy Love Christmas Card
Peace Joy Love Christmas Card – Design 773CX

 

• Gilded Nativity (Design 79PCX) – This card is all foil so it is very dramatic and it is also the Gallery Collection Scholarship winner. Hard to believe a young student has so much talent.
• Peace Joy Love (Design 773CX) – This triptych illustration is so peaceful and joyful it really lives up to its name. Depictions of the three wise men, the shepherds with their flock and in the center Mary and Baby Jesus make this design a beautiful Nativity.
• Song of the Angels (Design 657CX) – This painting is a masterpiece by Adolphe-William Bouguereau and I love the way it is bordered with gold foil setting off the golden hair of the angels
• Stained Glass Nativity (Design 133CX) – This design is very cleverly put together-each one of the wise men are set in their own stained glass panel with Mary and Jesus facing them in the last panel.
• Madonna Adoring the Christ Child (Design 74MCW) – Madonna Adoring the Christ Child is a painting by Correggio framed with an ornate pattern of gold foil.

It is so difficult to choose from such a wide variety I am getting three different designs; Song of the Angels, Madonna adoring the Christ Child, and Gilded Nativity!

In The Business World Corporate Greeting Cards Make All The Difference

Whether it’s a hotel, a financial management firm, a gym, a restaurant, a lawyer’s office, or a grocery store – businesses know that reaching out to customers is what makes or breaks them. In today’s market, consumers have more than enough choices when it comes to where they take their business, which means they can be as picky as they want. Sure, some of us might not care much as to how friendly, genuine or in touch a business is, but believe me, the majority of people care about these things and more. People feel that purchasing something is an endorsement, a vote, as to who is worthy of their hard earned cash. So it’s very important to rise to these demands and meet the challenges of today’s market with ease and grace. One of the best ways to accomplish this is through corporate greeting cards, especially birthday cards. Everyone loves to be remembered on their birthday and what better way to advertise your business or to keep your business fresh in people’s minds? It’s genius I tell you. In the process of wishing your customer a Happy Birthday, you’re essentially advertising your business. Your customer will hang the card up along with all their other birthday cards, and people will see what a caring business you are. It certainly sets yourself apart from the competition.

corporate greeting cards

Let me reiterate that: corporate greeting cards are a must in today’s business market. There really is no better way to make a subtle statement about your top rate services. Not only will you be happy to portray the right image, your customers will be satisfied knowing you keep them in your thoughts. Making someone smile is a great thing and if that smile means more success for your company, it makes it all the better.

I know I personally love it when the hotel I booked knows I’m there for an anniversary, and they leave a nice anniversary card for us on the pillow. It really gives the hotel experience that extra magical touch. Attention to detail is important for me. Or that time my gym noticed I hadn’t attended in a few days, found out from my sister that I was trying to get over the flu, and sent me a really thoughtful get well card in the mail. My stock broker has event sent me various cards, most recently, you guessed it, a birthday card. I still shop at these places who have taken the time to forge strong bonds with me and that makes me think that greeting cards are without a doubt the best thing you can do for your business.

Sharing Memories With Business Greeting Cards

When my long time college friends and I decided to throw one of our good friends Erin the biggest surprise party of her life, we knew we had to come up with an amazing idea that would make a lasting impression on Erin and the friends and family that we invited. With all the planning and preparations between us going on for months, we wanted to get a special message out to Erin how much she is loved and appreciate by all who will be attending her special party. To do something a little different, we set up a photo booth for everyone to take a few pictures of themselves to leave for Erin. My friends and I came up with an idea to leave a basket of greeting cards next to the booth so Erin’s guests along with the picture they took can write a short note for her to look at for years to come. After searching many internet sites for the nicest greeting cards at a reasonable price, I came upon The Gallery Collection website, which believe it or not had the most beautiful assortment of business greeting cards to choose from.

Surprise Party Greeting Cards

At this point, I needed to have on hand a few different designs of greeting cards to have next to the booth. I was able to order an assortment box of greeting cards which was the perfect touch for the message we were trying to get across to Erin. After each of the guests took a picture in the booth, they got to pick a greeting card out of the basket which fit them best. Besides leaving the picture they just took inside the card, they can write a special personalized message, maybe a special memory they shared with Erin, or they can simply write a thank you to Erin for her friendship over the years.

After speaking with Erin a few days later after her party, Erin was very touched by the idea we had with the photo booth along with the greeting cards. She loves the idea that she now has a picture to go along with a special message from each of her guests to keep from years to come.

You won’t find better quality cards anywhere, these cards are made from a nice thick paper and have exquisite designs, and they will stand out when sitting on a mantle next to lesser cards.

Bulk Greeting Cards Keep Employees Happy

Working in a busy office can be tough at times. I try to make life easier by having snacks and developing employee contests in order to keep stress at bay. I’m always looking for new ways to create a friendly working environment. Sending out birthday, holiday, and congratulation cards are a fabulous way to connect with employees and show appreciation. In addition, I feel great knowing that I have wonderful relationships with everyone in my office. In order to continuously give out cards (it seems that there’s at least one birthday every week), I found that buying bulk greeting cards really makes a difference. No longer do I have to continue a weekly run to the local drug store. I have all the cards I need right at my fingertips!

Assortment boxes are the absolute best. I can purchase a box that has cards for every single occasion. I love that greeting card companies choose the best of their selection and put a few of each design in a single box! I know I have a difficult time choosing; all of the cards are so intricately designed! The assortment boxes let me get the best of the best in conjunction with peace of mind. You definitely can’t beat that!

Business Greeting Cards and Missed Opportunities

Did you order your business greeting cards this year? If you did – congratulations! You won! Won what, you say? You won the opportunity to advertise your business. Greeting cards are one of the most economical ways to get your name out there and then keep it out there. Many companies order holiday greeting cards, which are kind of expected. Spreading greetings of the season, goodwill and maybe a thank you, is the most common. However, we are not limited to sending greetings just once a year. We now have the opportunity and ability to keep our name in the minds of customers’ throughout the year. Thank you cards would likely be the next best way to keep your name in the fore front. Thank you for your business. Thank you for considering us. Thank you for your referral. These are just a few reasons one might send a thank you card.

Corporate greeting cards are no longer limited to holiday and thank you. How about a calendar card? One that can be hung up and viewed all year long. Include your company name, address, telephone number and even an email or web address. A card that will stand out all year long. Make it more personal by sending a birthday card.

Advertisements in a newspaper are costly and you can never be sure what audience you are reaching. Is also quite generic. Sending business greeting cards is a direct hit. You can be sure that it is getting to your intended target. Exposure is the name of the game. What better way to do it!

Business Greeting Cards: Why Buying In Bulk Is Just Better

This isn’t a relatively new idea. It’s been floating around from company to company for many years and for many years to come. Businesses want to save money and there are reasons for this. During a poor economy, each business will try to establish a budget for expenses either for the company or for the company’s employees. For the purposes of this entry, we will examine the importance of valuing the employee from the company’s perspective. To show this, companies tend to buy business greeting cards; a gesture that can show more than imagined.

Let’s cut down to the chase. Everyone likes being noticed. Everyone likes being, at some point or the other, the center of attention and hopefully, when it comes to most employees, they definitely like to be and feel appreciated. Now besides throwing a nice bonus check their way (who wouldn’t want that), remember that gestures are important and should not be overlooked. It shows that someone, (in this case the company) is trying to show their thankfulness of an individual and make them feel like a welcomed part of their particular company. Why not show them some love through greeting cards?! Greeting cards are imperative to the workplace. This is a tremendous way for employees to feel valued within the company as well as appreciate the gesture the company is providing. Not to mention a little morale for the employees would be extremely beneficial and this should solidify it!

From birthday cards to holiday cards, companies will show their appreciation with an assortment of greeting cards addressed to their employees. Now to be cost effective and also productive, buying in bulk just makes sense especially for larger enterprise companies. Greeting card companies absolutely love when companies take advantage of their bulk greeting card opportunities. It builds a solid foundation and a report between card companies and the businesses that choose this option. Not only will this save money for the companies willing to purchase in bulk, but also it is cost effective to print, manage, and ship the cards. When it comes to saving money and getting the product you want, buying in bulk is the perfect means of business for every party involved.

Business Greeting Cards Show You Really Care

I send business greeting cards to my customers to express my appreciation for their business and to my vendors for a job well done. I could easily send an email but I feel that is so impersonal. The email often gets overlooked, is usually only seen by one person and gets deleted with a push of one button. The business greeting cards I send can be displayed and enjoyed by many and they leave a lasting impression.

To me, sending an actual greeting card shows how much I care. I took the time from my busy schedule to handwrite a note, address an envelope, stamp the envelope and mail it. I know this puts a smile on the recipient’s face when they receive the thank you card. I know because I’ve been there. When I receive greeting cards I hang them on my work station so passers by can see them. Sending and receiving greeting cards promotes good will and I am more likely to use this vendor again or remember this particular customer for a long time. Inserting your business cards in the greeting cards is also a good idea because it keeps those valued vendors/customers at your fingertips. Sending business greeting cards is a small gesture that leaves a large, lasting impression.
