Why I Send Calendar Cards Every Year

I’ll let you in on a little secret. Sending calendar cards to everyone on my list instead of a regular old holiday card was one of those ‘why didn’t I do this sooner’ decisions. Let me tell you why I send calendar cards every year.

It started when I found a card I really loved on The Gallery Collection. I didn’t even notice it was a calendar card until I clicked on it and saw that it opened out to reveal a full 12 month calendar plus room for my company name, address, message – whatever I wanted to write. I thought this was the best thing I’d ever seen – a card and gift rolled into one.

The design was great, the months clear and easy to read – it was big enough to be useful but wouldn’t take up too much space – I was seriously wowed.

Now when I send my holiday cards I know they aren’t going to end up lost in a pile of others. And I know that I’m sending a holiday greeting that will last – literally – all year long, my company name on someone’s wall or desk for the next 12 months.

Calendar cards also show that the giver wanted to provide something of value – not just another card for the recycle bin but something as useful as it is beautiful.

And I love that I can have my phone number, web address and even my email address printed right on it – all of my contact info just a glance away all year long. You can’t beat that kind of advertising.

They have so many great calendar card designs to choose from, all the same high quality and value I’ve come to expect from The Gallery Collection. And for the same cost as a regular card I can truly send a gift that keeps on giving.

Assortment Boxes: An Office Staple!

If you work in a busy office setting, you absolutely need to purchase The Gallery Collection’s Greeting Card Assortment Boxes. It is imperative to have at least one of these premium quality card assortments on hand!

While it is amazing that The Gallery Collection offers so many opportunities for customization, it is nice that these Greeting Card Assortment Boxes cannot be altered. This cuts out just one more decision you would have to make, and is somewhat unnecessary for inter-office distribution—like birthday cards or anniversary cards. There are plenty of different boxes to choose from, all containing 35 cards and 38 seal-fast envelopes. These greeting cards range in cover design, greeting inside, and printing color. All exact contents can be viewed online.

Each Assortment Box is delivered in its own labeled, sturdy box as to keep your cards looking neat and untouched. This is also particularly helpful in terms of organization. Never dig around the office to scrounge up a good enough card. Never dash to the store and hope for the best. Get yourself an Assortment Box from The Gallery Collection.

Many offices choose to have multiple types of Assortment Boxes on hand, as they are a huge time-saver without sparing at all on the quality. Never let a birthday sneak up on you or a job well done go unthanked again. Earn the respect of coworkers with the timelessly thoughtful gesture of a prompt greeting card.

All-Occasion Card Assortments: A Smart Investment for all Businesses

When I got to work the other day I found out it was a cubemate’s work anniversary.  Also, last week it was another situation where a “work” friend’s daughter gave birth early over the weekend.  I should have picked up a greeting card for both circumstances, to keep on hand for these things, but it slipped my busy mind! Then, there was the time I forgot to get a Thank You card for the thoughtful box of candy that was left on my desk on Secretaries’ Day.  Now that customer is about to stop by the office on short notice?

There are so many times while I have been at work when I have wished I had a stash of cards so I would always be prepared.  I finally found the answer… All Occasion Card Assortment Boxes.  What a smart investment for any businesses! It really is so helpful, whether it’s a Doctor’s office or a business that sells copiers, or in the transportation industry.  All businesses of any type can benefit from the nice assortment box I found at the Gallery Collection.  Each box has a little bit of everything you might need on short notice, and they have really nice sentiments inside, very classy.  Get an assortment box, I think you will agree with me.

Why You Should Purchase New Year’s Cards

New Year, New You! Chances are you’ve probably heard this phrase uttered countless times throughout every month of January.  Often, it’s said in reference to improving oneself whether through increasing your physical activity, learning a skill, becoming a better friend or family member, etc.  It certainly is a worthwhile notion and one that should be taken seriously.  The turning of the calendar to a new year marks the passage of time, which serves to highlight the fact that time is finite.  Changes can’t be put off forever, and a new year can be the spark that ignites action.  Despite the positivity of this exercise, not everyone is quick to embrace the idea even though it truly is a benefit to us all.  For some, another year must feel like another chance to be disappointed, sad, or just another opportunity for more of the same unfulfilling ventures as last year.  It is these people who can use a little encouragement or a little push to open their eyes to the possibility that something better can be attained and that stagnation is not a guarantee.  This is a great reason why you should purchase New Year’s cards.

            New Year’s cards are by nature optimistic affairs.  It’s quite difficult to receive a New Year’s card and ignore its message of opportunity.  Sending a New Year’s card, especially to those who really need one, is a simple but resonant way to both wish happiness to others while at the same time prodding them to achieve more of that contentment for themselves.  That’s a pretty powerful duo, right?

Personal Holiday Messages Matter

The snow falls, hot chocolate is poured, and family gathers together to celebrate the magic of the season, and hope that their wishes for a happy new year come true!

Businesses will gear up for the holiday season by being prepared for one of the busiest times of the year, as individuals will prepare to shop until they drop, and decorate the house! What lots of businesses and individuals also do, is send Christmas cards to their clients, employees, friends or family members! There are plenty of companies that sell greeting cards, but none like the Gallery Collection.

The Gallery Collection has a wide variety of beautifully designed Holiday greeting cards! You have the option of choosing a card design, choosing a standard greeting for the inside of the card, but you are also allowed to write your own personal message on the inside of the card as well. Sending personal Holiday messages inside of your greeting card, whether it be to send to clients, customers, partners, friends or family; personalizes the card in a way that touches whoever receives it.

It is important for the recipient of the card to feel good when they receive it, because nine times out of ten, you are trying to make a kind impression for the holidays. Putting a personal note or message inside of the card makes the card you are sending much better, and much more personal!

3 Reasons To Purchase Custom Photo Mount Cards

The Gallery Collection offers a variety of greeting cards and greeting card styles. From the die-cut greeting card all the way to the editable text greeting card, they have every option available. One of the newest card styles is the custom photo mount card. These cards are like a “Create Your Own” card because you can upload any photo you’d like and The Gallery Collection will print it and paste it onto your greeting card! Here are three ways you can use a custom photo mount card next time around.

  • Show your product: If you are a business owner who provides a specific product to your customers, a custom photo mount card can help advertise your product! Upload a photo of the product, in good lighting of course, and add your company name to the photo. On the inside of the card you could provide the location of your business or any further information.
  • Show your team: Your clients and customers would probably love to know the faces behind the production. Show them your business team! Customers like to associate names and voices with actual faces. It’ll make them feel more connected to your business.
  • Show your logo: Get your customers familiar with your logo. More than half the population is visual learners. Once they see your logo and associate it with the services you provide, they will come to you whenever they need that service.

Why You Should Consider Greeting Cards Featuring Your Company Name

Sending greeting cards no matter what the occasion says so much about you and your business.  It lets your customers and prospective customers know that you appreciate them.  It is also a sign of a company that is tuned into the details of everything and everyone around them.  You care enough to want to wish them cheer during the holidays and happiness on their birthdays. 

Greeting cards are also a great marketing tool.  Most people display their cards on their desk with pride.  Just think about the benefits of having your company name featured on the front of your cards.  Everyone who passes by will know you send a card acknowledging the recipient. 

There are digitally editable cards where you can personalize the front of the card with your company name.  So many variety of these cards are available including holiday cards and birthday cards.

If you prefer the embossed look, the “die-cut” greeting cards are a perfect alternative that still allow your company name to be featured front and center.  You can have your company name or small logo imprinted on the inside of the card.  With this “die-cut” option, there is an actual window cut out where this information will show through to the front of the card.  These are also available in a multiple variety of cards including birthday, holiday, anniversary, etc.

Feature your company name on your greeting cards for the best market strategy.

How Should I Mail My Christmas Cards

So here I am in November, preparing to order my Christmas Cards to send to our clients. I’ve chosen the beautiful Glowing Holiday Forest Card (shown above) with customizations to include our logo in a luxurious Gold Foil.

While very satisfied with the choice of card and personalization, the final challenge I face is how to manage a timely, cost effective approach to mailing my Christmas cards! I just don’t have the spare time nor do I have staff with spare time to address, stuff, seal and apply postage to 1,550 greeting cards. What other alternatives are available to mail my Christmas cards?

My first thought is that I could perhaps hire a temporary from an agency to handle this but that’s costly and seems a bit ludicrous for what should be a one, max two day project! I then notice that the company I’m purchasing the greeting cards from gallerycollection.com offers a full mailing service to their customers at a very reasonable rate. They will address, fold, stuff, seal and mail all of my cards. I simply need to submit my list of client addresses. Well this certainly seems something worth considering.

Instructions were easy to follow, ordering has always been easy with Gallery Collection (have ordered from them before) and Voila! My Christmas cards were personalized, in envelopes, sealed and mailed in a timely fashion for all of our clients to have for the holidays. At one point, I did call customer service with a question and was assisted by one of the most courteous and helpful representatives I have ever dealt with.

How should I (or anyone!) mail their Christmas cards? Without a doubt, take advantage of ordering with a company that has beautiful greeting cards, great service and will manage “the whole package” for you!
