Finding the right greetings card

Monday, January 2, 2012

I have made loads of new cards for your photos!

Hello and a very Happy New Year to you.
It was rather a quiet and uneventful holiday Chez Inkflo, so I took the time to make some extra greeting cards that I hope you will really love.
Photo Cards are the thing at the moment, you can just fit in your favourite pic and off you go!
You can of course just keep the card as is, with the pre-placed photo, but how nice is it to send say a Valentine's card to your new love with a picture of yourself on the front?
There are cards for all holidays and occasions, humor, sympathy, photo cards, anything you like.
Why not have a quick look and if you think they are worth leaving me a testimonial then all the better... and thank you.

Thanks for looking and a very Happy and healthy 2012 to you.

Greetings cards for birthday month

Hello and welcome to my page about birthday cards for birth month.
Whether you need a birthday card for June or January, I have made a bright and cheerful series of birthday cards for every month of the year.
For instance, if you need to send a birthday card for someone with a June birthday, then this card ticks all the boxes for the bright and sunny month of June...
Then again, perhaps the birth month is in the winter when it's cold and miserable, well you don't have to send a miserable looking card, take a look at this January birthday card...
The inner text reads, so it must be your birthday, but the great thing with these cards is, you can delete the inner verse, add your own or leave them blank, so they could be equally suited to any event for that month.
You just add what you want, for instance, It's May (inside text... That means we shall see you very soon.)
Whether you are looking for a birthday card, anniversary card or a greeting card for a very unusual occasion such as congratulations on your first parachute jump, orcongratulations on making a hot air balloon flight, you're sure to find them here...

... and what's more, you can have them posted direct to the recipient at no extra cost. Shipping is fast and the print quality unsurpassed.
There's a vast array of greeting cards to choose from and whatever occasion you have coming up, I'm sure you'll find the perfect paper greeting card here.
Have a great holiday.

Birthday Humor

What do you look for in a humorous birthday card?
Perhaps it's the "nudge nudge, wink wink" type of humor, or maybe  the slightly insulting but we think it's funny joke!
Me, I prefer gentle humor in a birthday greeting card, such as this one...

I don't like to be very rude to the recipient,and I generally know who I can poke fun at, but most people like a good laugh and receiving a funny birthday card is very popular.
I think it's particularly true when it's a fiftieth birthday card or a sixtieth card, always a milestone & a time for hilarity with some people.
Of course, it can be a more unusual birthday card, take for instance this birthday card for male twins. It's a card that's perfect for one male twin to send to the other, not rude or vulgar, but amusing just the same...

I love to receive humorous greetings cards & I'm sure you do too!

Birthday cards for twins

This is a difficult one isn't it. Do you send one card to each twin, one card for them both, and if you send them each a card (which I would personally advocate) then do you send a different birthday card to each one or the same birthday card each?
Phew! Who knew it could get so complicated.
My own view on sending birthday cards to twins, is that they should each be treated as individuals. Yes, they probably have masses of things in common, but how would you like to have to share everything all of your life just because you have a twin?
Of course, they might really appreciate being sent the same birthday card, and that's not a problem. It just shows that you know they share the same tastes.
No matter how close twins are, I truly believe they appreciate being treated as their own person, so go ahead & get two cards!
BUT....
What if you are a twin, what do you send to your twin on his birthday?
Well how about something like this?

Birthday cards have changed so much.

Birthday cards, when I was small, always seemed to be printed on brownish card, quite thick and had loads of frilly edges and flowers. I don't remember many birthday cards for men, but I'm willing to bet that they featured lots of men hunting or fishing and were made from the same thick, brown card. These days there is much more choice and thank goodness for that. My old Aunt just loves a birthday card with flowers, a sentimental verse and a pretty envelope. My best friend though, is big into humor. Any kind as long as it makes her laugh out loud and is not aimed directly at her! Kids these days, love gadgets, cars, robots, Toy Story type characters, monsters and dinosaurs, and any birthday greeting card that features any one of these things will be a sure fire hit.
Men? Well, they are on a different planet greeting card wise aren't they. My other half wouldn't know what to choose for a family member, hence, like me I'm sure it's mainly the women that buy the birthday cards. Me? Well, I like almost anything that is original, perhaps a nice watercolor or cartoon card, and humor as long as it's not too dirty. If it's your birthday this week, hope it's a good one and enjoy your birthday cards!

What type of birthday card do you love?

It's a frustrating time for me.  I have been busy making my greeting cards for the pod (print on demand) site that I use, and I have been getting loads of clicks on certain cards.
The big puzzle is though, why are they not selling?
They are obviously catching peoples eye, but the follow through isn't happening.
It can only be the inside of the card, which by the way the customer can change to suit their own needs.
However, my dilemma with the greetings card market is, should I put a verse or not?
Some people love a flowery sentiment in their cards, others just prefer a plain sentiment such as Happy Birthday, Happy Anniversary or Hope you get well real soon.
If I had loads of money, which I don't, I would conduct my own greetings card survey to try & find out.
Still, I will carry on regardless & hope that the sales start coming thick & fast real soon!
