We received a review that made us chuckle, but also perfectly demonstrates why we exist as a UK small business.
Holly had ordered a Bar Mitzvah card from us for her nephew's special day, and he received no less than 7 identical cards from guests. SEVEN! I'd have loved to see his face as he opened identical card number 5 or 6.
Luckily, Holly had ordered one of our cards, so her offering was a unique card that completely stood out from the sea of supermarket-bought, generic, mass-printed cards on the table.
So here are our top tips for you, so you can avoid being "one of 7 identical cards", because although it is funny, it's also really nice to stand out and show how much care and thought you put in to choosing something just for them.
How To Give A Unique Greetings Card
1- Buy The Greetings Card Well Ahead Of Time
If you get organised and shop early, the chances are that you will find a completely special, one-of-a-kind greetings card worthy of the occasion. Your recipient will know just how much effort, time and consideration you put into choosing something so special.
If you leave it to the last minute (like so many people do), then the chances are that you are going to be emergency-card-shopping in the same places. Supermarkets and big chain stores are fine for those last-minute greetings card emergencies, but their selections are limited and if you're one of several guests living in the same town, well, the odds of getting a unique greetings card are, unfortunately, not in your favour.
Don't be a last-minute-Larry!
2- Choose A Personalised Greetings Card
Personalised = Better than non-personalised, IMHO.
A personalised card can feature the recipient's name, age, or specific achievement. Our personalised cards come in several colour options too, and we can print a custom message inside your card for no extra charge. That means we can customise your card completely, and make you something unique. That means, even if, by some miracle, someone else had indeed also chosen the same card for the same event (we have had this happen), the cards will still be different enough.
3- Shop From A Small Business
Because, a) small businesses are AMAZING. Like, they have THE BEST STUFF. So why wouldn't you shop small?!
But also b) The chances of you and another guest buying the same card from the same small business are slim.
So there you have it.
If you want a unique, personalised, one-of-a-kind greetings card that shows your recipient exactly how much you care, shop small, get organised, order ahead of time and choose personalised.
