Custom Corner: Barbara Schreiber

December 6, 2011

Today is the first of a new series I’m calling Custom Corner, where we’ll be highlighting an artist who’s done a custom job for a shopper, and experienced a success story. Our own Mindy came up with the idea, and is providing the information. We invite all featured artists to add their own story in the comments.

Today, for our inaugural post, we’ve chosen Barbara Schreiber, whose recent holiday greeting card featuring a lacy Christmas box with tags on a gray background has a lot of modern flair. Good luck, Barbara, with your sales!

Request: “Please change Merry Christmas to Season’s Greetings on the red tag.Β  Add “CCSO” on green tag to read: To a great CCSO colleague.”

Result: “Thank you so much for accommodating my requested change on the holiday card. The Sheriff loved the card so much, we ordered an additional 21 cards to send to his Command staff in addition to the Admin Assistants.”

    Just want to say : Thank you, GCU, for featuring my card in the new “Custom Corner”. I think it’s a great idea to feature customer requests for personalized cards, it’s motivational (well, for me anyway :D). I love doing customer requests. Sometimes, when creating/designing and uploading and adding keywords, tags and categories, I get so involved with the technical aspects of the procedure, that I tend to forget that the end result is something that people will buy. That I’m creating not only for me (I just love creating!), but for real people.
    That’s why I’m always happy when I have contact with a customer who has a request – it’s not an anonymous person anymore.
    Wishing everybody lots of sales, joy and peace!

    Super job Barbara! And glad everyone likes the idea. There’s nothing better than a good before & after story πŸ™‚ Well I guess getting the sale and the customer’s praise is pretty darn good too.
