Business greeting cards have been a wonderfully light-handed way to keep my business in the minds of clients and potential clients. Sometimes, however, I\u2019ve wanted to present a crisper look that focused more on my message than on an attractive card design. Finally\u2026I found a perfect solution with correspondence note cards<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a kid, reading books and watching movies set in somewhat earlier (and to me, more refined) times, I was strongly impressed with mentions of calling cards and hand-delivered missives thoughtfully scripted on quality stationery. In these stories, it was clear that a person\u2019s character was often judged on their mastery of these social graces. My aspiration to this sort of sophistication seemed thwarted by ever more casual attitudes in everyday life; even in business the attitude of \u201cwhatever\u2026\u201d seemed to be replacing \u201cservice-with-a-smile\u201d and common courtesy.<\/p>\n

Lately, and with greater frequency, I\u2019ve been hearing that the bright side of the current economic recession is that careless businesses will fold and only the strong will survive, making for a stronger economy with better products and services. If that viewpoint makes you cry \u201couch,\u201d it may be time to refine your business practices, to work harder and smarter. It has had that effect on me.<\/p>\n

A phone call may interrupt a client\u2019s workday at an inconvenient time, if you even find that person in. An email is easily deleted, if it\u2019s even read at all. Mailed ads are hard-sell, easily tossed aside. The same can be said for the form letters I receive, where my name and address is clearly just an insert. Why waste my time and attention on these when the sender couldn\u2019t be bothered to invest time and attention to communicate specifically to my needs?<\/p>\n

These new correspondence note cards from The Gallery Collection have such a classy look and feel! I keep them right on my desk top so I can jot my notes immediately as the thought occurs to me. They have my name professionally printed at the top so I can sign my notes with just my first name for a more personal touch. My name and handwritten note can be seen as soon as the note card is lifted from its fine quality envelope. I know it\u2019s being looked at when the recipient is ready and open to my message. I know it\u2019s subliminally telling the recipient that I value their relationship enough to communicate, on a one-on-one basis, a thought or plan or offer that is specifically for them. The presentation of my message tells them that it is worthy of their attention. And I\u2019ll bet it doesn\u2019t wind up in their waste basket!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Business greeting cards have been a wonderfully light-handed way to keep my business in the minds of clients…","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":[275],"tags":[42,292],"class_list":{"0":"post-1868","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-greeting-cards-for-business","7":"tag-business-greeting-cards","8":"tag-correspondence-note-cards","9":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nCorrespondence Note Cards Take the Pressure out of Business Writing -
