The first time they placed an order, I asked everyone to fill out a customer card with their name and birth date (minus the year, of course). I wasn\u2019t sure what type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>business birthday cards<\/strong><\/a> to buy because not everyone has the same crazy sense of humor I have about turning a year older, not to mention all my customers are women. So when I went shopping, the first cards I crossed off the list were the \u201cover the hill\u201d joke cards, the cards with pictures of \u201cancient\u201d little old ladies, and cards with those cute chubby babies in diapers. Basically, all the \u201cha ha, you\u2019re a year older\u201d birthday cards that I just love were no good. I figured, why insult a new customer when I\u2019m desperate for their business? And to stay in business I really need all the customers I can get as well as their friends, too.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I got some great comments about the business birthday cards I sent. Most of the women were really surprised that I took the time and money to send birthday cards to them. I think we\u2019re all a little guilty of thinking that businesses want to take your money and then forget you\u2019re alive. I don\u2019t want to have that kind of business.<\/p>\n<p>My mother-in-law gets a birthday card from her doctor and his wife every year. That\u2019s where I stole the idea. She\u2019s over 90, and she\u2019s always joking that he should send her flowers along with a birthday card because she\u2019s been keeping him in business all these years! But I know it makes her feel special, and I want to keep all my customers feeling special, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I started my own craft business from home last year and I sent birthday cards to all my&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1292,1297,31],"tags":[912],"class_list":{"0":"post-1356","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-birthday-inspiration","8":"category-business-birthday-cards","9":"tag-business-birthday-cards","10":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Business Birthday Cards Make you Feel Special - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-make-you-feel-special\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Business Birthday Cards Make you Feel Special - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I started my own craft business from home last year and I sent birthday cards to all my&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-make-you-feel-special\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-06-23T14:11:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-20T01:51:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-make-you-feel-special\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-make-you-feel-special\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Business Birthday Cards Make you Feel Special\",\"datePublished\":\"2009-06-23T14:11:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-20T01:51:58+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/business-birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards-make-you-feel-special\/\"},\"wordCount\":317,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"Business Birthday Cards\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Occasions &amp;
