Cheaper and less wasted paper. But there are times when a paper card in the mail seems more appropriate. I have a friend who makes beautiful cards and it is always a pleasure to receive one of her personalized cards. Congratulations on your book award. Thanks for the congrats, Donna, and for your thoughts on greeting cards. Yes, when you receive a special card, it really does cause you to pause and enjoy the moment.
See you Saturday at the chocolate dinner! Hi Doreen, Our family used to be great for sending cards, but over the years we have gradually got away from it for several reasons.
The main one is that my mother is gone. Another is how expensive postage is now. Then too I have the feeling perhaps wrongly that a lot of people look at a card for a minute or two and then throw it out. I received a number of congratulation cards when my first book was published. I was very pleased and have saved them. Christmas cards are a whole other issue. My husband Don and I write an illustrated Christmas letter and have been sending fewer and fewer Christmas cards.
I personally am very disappointed now if I only receive a card with no letter or at least a brief note. Hi Irene. Thx for sharing your thoughts. Reg and I both love cards. We have a place that we display cards we receive, and we often leave them up for a few weeks. But I guess that does happen. I do love getting your Christmas letters. No Doreen, you are not a dinosaur. NEVER could that be said of you! I like sending greeting cards as much as you.
Our world is never too busy to keep connection with those people we love. Admittedly, websites with ecards are now plentiful, so sometimes I will send an ecard. But an ecard still carries a sentiment! Nonetheless, there is nothing quite like getting snail-mail card delivered to your door. We have 50 people on our Christmas Card greetings list, and at the very least, those people know we love them, think about them, and appreciate having them in our life.
In fact, some of those recipients have now begun sending us cards with messages in their Christmas cards! Thx for weighing in on greeting cards, Esther. You are a definitely a caring person who takes time to send cards and gifts to people. Although, I too, have fallen in the habit of emailing rather than sending cards I believe physical cards are much more meaningful to the recipient.
It just means that much more care and time have been taken with making sure you have the right card that will be appreciated by the person receiving it.
Right on, Pat. Thx for getting the conversation going. I was surprised at how few Christmas cards we got last Christmas compared to years gone by. But I admit … we sent far fewer as well.
I do love receiving cards for special occasions, and when people take the time to thank me for a card, I continue to send them cards. Then came email and ecards and the increase in cost for printed cards and now, at least in Canada, the exorbitant cost of postage. Luckily for me I have some friends who STILL actually write letters and, like you, search for and find the perfect greeting card for all occasions. It is something I like to do too! Thx so much for your comment, Ceci, and for sharing the link to your greeting cards.
They are absolutely lovely, and I urge anyone who loves horses to take a look at the link Ceci has included in her comment. Your email address will not be published. When is the last time you mailed someone a physical card of congratulations, thanks, or support?

These elements represent the identity of the sender and his or her perception of the recipient while communicating the message depicted on the cover and printed or written inside each card. Recipients are more likely to appreciate cards that connect with their thoughts and feelings and communicate a timely message. For this reason, you may prefer to send Christmas cards or seasonal greetings to recipients on a business contact list.
Even the details of card design can communicate important values to a sender. Selecting cards that are made of recycled materials or support causes reflect priorities that go beyond the occasion.
Greeting cards are physical objects that can be kept and examined by hand, as opposed to digital communications. This mode of communication is more tactile and can be more persistent than a digital message. Recipients are likely to positively recall the experience of receiving a thoughtful and well-chosen card and associate this exchange with other positive memories of the sender. Selecting and sending the right greeting for an occasion and recipient requires time and thought.
Even if you order cards in bulk, the decision to communicate with customers, clients or other professional connections in this manner makes you stand out from the competition. Personal cards are a means of self-expression that reinforce bonds with family, friends and other contacts.
In alone, Joe sold 1, cars. Greeting cards. Joe would write a thank you card within the first few days after selling a vehicle to each customer he sold to.
Within six months after selling to his customer, Joe would reach out with a thoughtful note in a greeting card. The message was always simple and personable. Every few months Joe would check in with a genuine message written in his own hand. Who else would they go to and purchase their next car from, but Joe? No one else! Because Joe kept the connection, that human connection, alive between himself and his customers.
Joe Girardi did more than just create connections through the use of greeting cards. He developed life long relationships with his clients through his handwritten messages.
He is living proof that writing your customers a personal note in a greeting card from time to time has some serious benefits. Thank yous are a lot more powerful than you think. There are so many ways to express our gratitude through the use of your own words.
And, the list goes on! But no matter how you chose to say your thanks, writing out your words of gratefulness hits a note that rings truer than any other. When someone takes the time to not only express their gratitude but also write out their words of thanks, the receiver of these words truly feels appreciated. Take the time to write thank you notes for your co-workers and staff when they go that extra mile for you.
Make that good impression last with a customer or client by sending them a thank you card with your personal message of appreciation. Thank them for their purchase s.
