Nuts and Bolts: Custom Requests Inside Text

Nuts & Bolts – Custom Requests Inside Text 

 

Previously, we have shared custom request tips and best practices previously.  These are requests for a change in a design directly from a shopper via the Manage Custom Requests tool.

 

Sometimes shoppers do not realized that they can change the inside text on all GCU cards themselves.  So you may get requests like these:

 

“can you make the inside read me instead of us?”
” no words, blank on the inside, please”
“please sign the card, love from Nonnie and Poppy”

 

These are all simple requests for the inside text that the shopper is able to do during the personalization step. Give the shopper a little help with an informative reply.

 

Simply reply to the shopper via the Manage Custom Requests tool something like:

 

“Thank you for your interest in my card and for your request.  As with all of the cards on GreetingCardUniverse, you can add your own text to the inside to personalize it.  In fact, you can even change the existing inside text and even remove the entire verse if you like at no additional cost. You can do this in the Personalize Your Card step.”
Be sure to be polite, prompt and professional and you’ll be more likely to get the sale!
 

 

The difference is made in the details!

Cornflower blue is a shade of medium-to-light blue containing relatively little green compared to blue. This hue was one of the favorites of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer.

The most valuable blue sapphires are called cornflower blue, having a medium-dark violet-blue tone. (source: Wikipedia)

Wanted Cards –  Chinese New Year / Year of the Pig 2019

 

Celebrated on February 5th next year, Chinese New Year will be here before we know it.  2019 celebrates the Year of the Pig.

 

Please consider creating new designs specific to the Year of the Pig.  There are many sub-categories in need of cards.

 

 

 

If you plan on leveraging a design to make a series, please be sure to follow the Series / Concept Review process and submit your first design with a note and await approval before creating the balance of the series.

 

Here are important tips and guidelines on CNY cards and categories worth reading if considering updating a Chinese New Year card from 2018 or different zodiac.

 

 

We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using the Stock Cards function (Bigstock) or your own graphic designs.

Remember, when you’re submitting your new card, add a little note about the intended category in your Notes to Reviewers. Be inventive,  be clever, be creative. Go for it!
