Sympathy Cards – The Unfortunate Necessity

I am one of the fortunate people who have a wonderful relationship with my mother that I cherish. We do many things together; shop, travel and I even joined a few of the many clubs that she belongs to. Now mom is a very spry 78 years old. She has more energy than I do and I have trouble keeping up with her. Becoming a member of her clubs and meeting her friends has been rewarding but sometimes sad. Now remember that I told you how old mom is. Well, many of her friends are the same age or much older than she. I have become quite friendly with many of these people. The unfortunate part of this scenario is that quite of few have passed away. I have told mom, jokingly of course, that she needs to get much younger friends! Thank goodness that I purchased boxed sympathy cards from the Gallery Collection for her and for myself.

It is such a good idea to have sympathy cards readily available. You never know when you will need one. When you are upset and sad you really don’t want to have to go to a store and buy one. The Gallery Collection cards are beautiful, have great quality and have the perfect sentiment inside.

Big Business or Small Business – Corporate Birthday Cards are a Plus

When my father started his pediatric practice nearly thirty years ago, he allowed me to “help out” once I became old enough. One of my tasks was to organize and revise his patient list. Then prepare birthday cards each month for all of his “Children.” Buying corporate birthday cards in bulk was not yet available.

Dad made sure that they received this personal touch for the first sixteen years of their lives. I would go each month to purchase the cards and address, stamp and mail them at the appropriate time.

Now my own client list would be a full time employee’s position! I still choose to emulate the wisdom of appreciating all of my customers and employees with this friendly gesture. The Gallery Collection provides the best quality and selection of any other company that I have seen. It is the fastest and easiest way to always have the cards on hand. Of course purchasing bulk birthday cards also provides me with lower pricing. Most times the cost per card is far less than one would find on a rack in a store.

I know that I could have a copy of my signature printed in the cards, and I may have to do that in the future, but until it becomes necessary I will continue to hand-sign them. The feedback from the recipients is too gratifying for me to change anything yet.

Business Greeting Cards Are A Great Way To Say Thank You

Thus, hopefully triggering an impulse to make a purchase from you. You also can try sending out business greeting cards to those companies that you are trying to gain there business. It’s a great way to get in the door, but be sure to do your homework and mail it to a specific person rather then a generic department. Good Luck!

Corporate Birthday Cards – Don’t Be Caught Without Them!

As a small business owner, I understand the importance of selecting and then keeping only best employees. I often find that it really pays to do your homework and truly investigate the potential employee. I have found way too many ‘non-truths’ when questioning people on their resumes. With that being said, and now with a staff I can finally trust and reward when they go above and beyond. I’d like to share a little secret, A great pick me up as well as a motivational booster, is to hand out corporate birthday cards! Seems simple enough, right? And whether you go out to the local store (not recommended) or purchase boxed birthday cards (highly recommended) be sure to always have a couple extra on had, (that’s why I always buy the boxed cards). The designs are varied enough to suit both genders and convey many different sentiments.

Now, since you are reading this, you are already at the perfect website for ordering high quality, great looking cards. The birthday cards assortment box has everything you need to keep a smile on all of your employees’ faces!

Assorted Birthday Cards – Your New Best Friend!

As a small business owner, I strive to show my appreciation to each of my employees. I expect them to work hard, but they know that I truly care about them. One way that I show my appreciation is by giving each employee a card on their birthday. I recently purchased a box of assorted birthday cards from The Gallery Collection, making this aspect of my job so much easier!

Gone are the days of finding out at the last minute that an employee has a birthday coming up, running to the store, and struggling to find a card that is professional yet warm, and aesthetically pleasing. The Gallery Collection offers beautiful birthday card boxes with a fabulous variety of designs and sentiments printed inside. Now when I learn that an employee has a birthday, I simply reach into my desk and pull out my birthday card box.

Greeting Card Companies That Fit Our Every Need

As the office manager at a software company, I am responsible for client relations. I am in charge of emails, phone calls, faxes, and, yes, our company greeting cards. For a while, I was searching out each card specifically, either at the local drugstore or online. The search took up so much of my time that my boss thought sending cards was becoming a waste of time. I then began the search for greeting card companies that carried all the cards we needed, and were business appropriate, too.

I had no idea what a gem I had stumbled on to when I first visited the Gallery Collection website. In the year or so since we began ordering from them, I have never had to look elsewhere for bulk greeting cards. We order all of our assorted greeting cards from them, and I am not wasting time looking for individual cards! The arrangement suits everyone, especially my boss. He loves the Gallery Collection cards, as they are exactly the right blend of cost and class that he favors.

We have ordered both the assortment boxes and bulk individual cards from the Gallery Collection, and all of their products have impressed us. Our favorite items are their Thank You cards. We send them out around our company anniversary to thank all of our customers for supporting us through another year. Also, we include a coupon for our anniversary month sale. That way, our customers can share in our special month.

Birthday Cards in Bulk – Both Convenient and Thoughtful

In the United States, 7 billion people buy greeting cards each year. The average household buys about 20 greeting cards with more than a third of them being birthday cards. Birthday cards are an amazing and quick way to show someone that you were thinking of them on their special day. I know, from experience, that sometimes it is hard to remember people’s birthdays. I have had those awkward moments when I was sitting there and was like “Oh no! I forgot to buy them a card” and had to go scramble out to a supermarket to pick something up. Then, I thought of a wonderful idea: to buy birthday cards in bulk!

Birthdays are always going to be around every single year. It is a wonderful idea to buy them in bulk because you never know when you are going to need them. If you forget about someone’s birthday or know that their birthday is coming up, you do not have to go through the added hassle of going to the store, standing at the stand and reading through all the card greetings, and then standing on line to pay for the card you chose. Instead, you can just go into your drawer or closet, pick out a card from your pile, sign your name, and give it to that person to let them know you care on their special day.

Another thing about birthday cards that I have always appreciated is when my place of employment hands me a birthday card. With big corporations, they have thousands of employees and cannot individually think of each employee. At least, that was what I thought until I received a birthday card from my place of employment. When they handed it to me, I knew that someone that was in charge was taking into consideration that their employees are people too.

Business birthday cards should always be incorporated into a company’s arsenal to make their employees feel cared about. I absolutely hate working on my birthday. It is something that I never want to do because it is my special day and do not want to share it with the ins and outs of the work day. On the other hand, receiving a birthday card while on my shift at work will make me feel happy, appreciated, and will make me work hard for my company. You need to lead by example. And leading by example means that if you want your employee to care about the needs of the company, you need to care about the needs of your employees! Sending an employee a card will not only make them feel special, but will give them the motivation to work harder towards the goals of the company.

The Saving Grace of Employee Anniversary Cards

An impeccably dressed woman sits alone in a dimly lit restaurant alternately staring at a slowly dwindling candle and a quickly ticking watch. An hour devoid of food or companionship has passed, and as she gets up to leave her table, she sighs with unmistakable disappointment. She pulls her car into the driveway, walks to the front door, and opens it to see her loving yet absentminded husband engrossed in watching the latest get rich quick infomercial while ingesting copious amounts of tortilla chips and nacho cheese. He forgot her on their anniversary. Nobody wants to be this guy. No company wants to treat their employees this way on their anniversaries either. A great way to show your employees you care is to give them employee anniversary cards to mark their commitment to your organization.

The success of any company ultimately rests on the strength of its employees, and anniversary cards present a simple, tasteful way to show appreciation for their years of dedication and service to your organization. Certainly, gifts are a thoughtful, generous gesture to extend to employees when they reach important milestones. However, anniversary cards have that incomparable power of heartfelt language that can truly tell individuals how you feel. So, if you are unsure about how to thank your arduous employees or accidently overlooked them altogether, you may just find your saving grace in the kind words nestled inside a beautifully designed anniversary card.

Boost Morale – Send Congratulations Cards

When getting together with my friends, the conversation always seems to turn to the workplace. So many of them are not happy with their current working situations.  Oddly enough, the complaints are not only about their salaries. They all seem to have low morale.  I think I have devised an easy way to boost their morale and self-esteem in the work place; send them congratulations cards!

Years ago, I was a manager at a very large hotel.  When you work with such a large group of people sometimes some of these people slip through the cracks.  I had a policy of sending out business congratulations cards.  The cards could be sent out for many reasons. I tried to send a card for small accomplishments as well as for milestones.  Some of the reasons I sent cards were for a promotion, a raise, someone got employee of the month, someone received a complementary letter from a guest.  The card that seems most appreciated was for a job well done.  As they opened the card, their faces would light up.  All it took was a little recognition.

Congratulations cards are a small way that you can make a big difference in office morale. It’s something that all my friends and I agree on!
