Greeting Card Marketing Ideas

The obvious use of greeting cards is to send them to customers on special occasions. Greeting cards are great seasonal advertisements, sending a card to a customer for Christmas or their birthday is a terrific way to let the customer know that you are thinking of them and view them as more than just a sales statistic. But you don't need to limit their use to holidays or certain seasons. You can use a card at any time since the design of the greeting card is conducive to sending out coupons and special offers in a way that is different than just stuffing them in an envelope or as a postcard. This sort of unique presentation can differentiate your offerings from your competitors.

Greeting Card Design Tips

Don't forget that a greeting card is designed to "greet." In designing your cards, try to make sure that they convey a personal touch and don't come across as generic and mass produced, even if they are. Little things like leaving space for handwritten notes or addressing can take a card from something you send to every customer to something the customer can feel you are sending to them alone. Also, remember that a greeting card has a considerable amount of empty space on it. Don't hesitate to use some of that to slip in some advertising copy or your company logo.

Greeting Card Print Specifications

In addition to allowing for custom sizing, greeting cards can also be printed with different folding styles. You can either print your cards with a horizontal fold where the fold is at the top of the card or a vertical fold where the fold is at the side of the card. Also, you can personalize your card with photos and designs. One thing you should be aware of is that in choosing your sizing, greeting card sizing on UPrinting.com is measured by the full size of the card prior to folding, so if you want a card that measures 3.5 x 5, you need to order a 7 x 10 card.
