Why Greeting Cards Are Important in the Corporate World

For a variety of good reasons, businesses oftentimes send greeting cards to customers and clients. These cards can include holiday cards, thank you cards (for past business), holiday party invitations, or reminder cards for an upcoming appointment.

To make the most positive impression, the greeting cards your company send should be personalized to the recipient. For holiday cards, it would be ideal if the cards are signed by your company’s CEO or a high-ranking official. If this is not possible (due to a high quantity of clients), it would be best to at least have the cards sent to your largest accounts hand-signed.

When your card is received, it is likely to be shared with the management of the company and, sometimes, many employees. Those who receive your card are likely to think more fondly of you and more likely to conduct business with you in the future, especially when compared to a business that doesn’t bother to contact them.

The other type of corporate greeting cards are those that are sent to employees. Just as it is important to keep on the good side of customers and clients by sending cards, an employee birthday cards or anniversary card is sure to keep your workers feeling valued and increased loyalty generally means increased productivity. As with other corporate greetings, a small investment can have a much larger positive impact!

Keeping in Touch With Greeting Cards

Greeting cards aren’t just for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions anymore. Greeting cards are a great way to keep in touch with business connections, employees, family, and friends. Receiving a card wishing you and your family happy holidays is heartwarming. Receiving a birthday card shows someone is paying attention. Receiving cards for other momentous occasions such an anniversary card or retirement card are touching.

But receiving a card just because someone is thinking of you or missing you truly leaves you with a feeling that someone cares and is thinking about you. There are many options of blank any purpose greeting cards or thinking of you cards that hit just the right note. These are perfect in instances where maybe you have a customer that you haven’t heard from in a while. You can put your personal note just reminding them you are there to help with their needs.

Another great option are note cards. With note cards, you can send a simple note just letting your employees know that you recognize their hard work and appreciate them. Sometimes the small gesture of a greeting card acknowledging someone’s loyalty is all it takes to inspire their dedication.

Keep in touch with greeting cards.

The Purpose of Greeting Card Assortments

One of the best things I have come across since starting my new office assistant position is an order form for card assortment boxes. The purpose of greeting card assortments are to be on hand for different types of occasions. There are assortments available in many different categories. For example, Birthday, Anniversary, Sympathy, Get Well, Thank You, Congratulations and of course the little bit of everything All Occasion assortment. I have found that keeping a box of greeting cards in my desk is critical. I don’t always remember everyone’s everything. There is always an occasion coming up that a card is needed and everyone scrambles, who is going to go to the store? Who has time today? The usual suspects will come to me and may I add it is usually an immediately necessity. For my own sanity, I have decided to keep a 2 different boxes in my cabinet. I have an all occasion assortment box since it has 35 cards with 16 different types of cards. The most being Birthday cards – 12, Thank you – 6, Congratulations – 5, Sympathy – 4, and then 2 each of the Anniversary, Get Well, Thinking of you and finally 2 blank Note cards. And I also keep a box of all Birthday. Everyone gets a birthday cards! We all enjoy that – Don’t we?
