Many small businesses rely on personal relationships with customers because of the the word of mouth advertising that is accomplished. Realtors, photographers, car salesmen, and commercial cleaners are all examples of businesses that need to maintain close, positive relationships with clients. Custom greeting cards are a simple way to show clients how much they mean to your business.
Here are a few ideas to make your greeting cards more meaningful to your customers.
1. Take your own pictures of landscapes or local historical sites to add a personal touch to the greeting card. Be sure to boast of your work on the back of the card. Use a phrase such as "This card was made by" and your logo to show customers that you took the time to make them a card.
2. Write your own greeting. You can either leave this blank and hand write a greeting or print a simple "Thank you" with a sentence telling why you appreciate their business.
3. Send greeting cards not only on holidays and birthdays but also at various times throughout the year. Sending an extra note just to let clients know how special they are to you creates loyal customers who feel valued, and a valued customer will keep coming back.
4. Custom envelopes imprinted with your logo and return address ensures that customers will open it because they know the mail piece is from you and not just another solicitor. Be sure to hand write the recipient's address to make it personal.
5. Print your custom greeting cards with a commercial printer so that they are of the highest quality. This reinforces your professionalism in the minds of customers. Using a wholesale full color printing company will not only produce excellent greeting cards but cost-effective ones as well.
So show your customers how much you care about them by sending custom greeting cards throughout the year. You will see your business stabilize and grow through the first-name basis relationships you develop with your clients.
