Nuts & Bolts – Holiday Custom Request Design Change

Nuts and Bolts – Holiday Custom Request Design Change

We are nearing the holiday card ordering frenzy! Soon after Thanksgiving shoppers will be on the hunt for the perfect card.  Please be sure to pay attention to your Manage Custom Requests or you could be missing out on sales.

Here are some good tips to not miss any shopper requests.

Here is a wonderful example by GCU artist Bense Garza:

From the shopper:  

can you change the hair to green and change the ‘happy’ to ‘merry’?

Big holiday kudos to Bense for putting a smile on this shopper’s face! 

Note: GCU encourages and allows term or word variation on a design like “Merry” vs “Happy” to offer shoppers choices, see here and here for other examples.

Tip: Remember when submitting a new card that is a variation on a previously approved card to make a note in the Notes to Reviewers the pid# that it is based on.  “Based on approved card PID #12345”.  And remember custom requested cards can be set for FastTrack review.  Just leave the reviewer a little note for that too like “for a shopper’s request #14667 ”.

Additionally, we do see a rise in shopper requests for changing the inside verse which of course they can do themselves.  See this tip on how to handle Custom Requests Inside Text.

Here are some other wonderful Holiday Custom Request Design Change examples.

The difference is made in the details!
