Proper greeting card etiquette, to me, starts with what the recipient sees on the envelope. If you\u2019re like me, you probably select exquisite <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/\">Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong> that contain your name and display your company\u2019s logo along with a heartfelt message. Let that card have a chance to shine by making sure you have the correct spelling of your recipients\u2019 first and last names. If there is a mistake on the envelope, it is likely that the receiver of the card won\u2019t fondly remember what was inside the envelope.<\/p>\n<p>I know this personally because I have a difficult last name that begins with the letter I, and it often gets confused for an L, depending on the font that is used. When I receive <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/business-christmas-cards\/\">business greeting cards<\/a><\/strong> from someone who I am not familiar with and my name is misspelled, in my mind, it is usually a reflection of the sender\u2019s hasty card-sending efforts.<\/p>\n<p>When I am sending business greeting cards to my vendors and employees I always have someone else in my department do a final proofread just to make sure that the spelling I have on file is correct. One incorrect letter can be seen as a missed opportunity and a failed chance to extend a holiday greeting with a positive, lasting impression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When sending business greeting cards, take time to pay attention to the details.
