Wanted New Cards: Rainbow Baby.

Wanted Cards – Rainbow Baby
 
Conceiving, carrying, and delivering a healthy baby is a gift and not one that comes easily to all women.  The concept of a rainbow baby is a pregnancy and birth that occurs after the loss of prior pregnancy(ies).  Although it is a joyful and happy time there are many mixed emotions and threads of fear, guilt, and worry.  
 
Please consider creating cards for these new sub-categories using great care in your images and messaging.
 
Occasions >> Congratulations >> Pregnancy / Expecting >> Rainbow Baby
Occasions >> Congratulations >> New Baby > Rainbow Baby 
 
 
 
 
Be sure to include an appropriate product description in your Artist’s Notes as well as appropriate terms in your meta-data as “rainbow, baby” will not be enough to differentiate your card from a care for a baby that simply has a rainbow design.  
 
We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using the Stock Cards function or your own graphic designs.

To expedite the review of these cards, please check Fast Track Review on the card image details page when you create your card and add a Note for Reviewers like “for BLOG– Wanted Cards”.

Wanted New Cards: Touring Motorcycle

Wanted Cards – Touring Motorcycle
 
We recently received this observation and request from a shopper:
 
“As a frequent buyer from your company I have to say you have great cards and I’m often asked about where I got a card and always sing your praise. I have purchased some motorcycle theme cards including several this year, but all your cards show a Harley, cruiser or hog style bike. You’re missing out on the touring motorcycle demographic. Please look into this style of bike on cards. Thank you”
 
Please consider designing cards with this style of motorcycle keeping in mind that all images and meta-data must be generic or abstract in nature.
Note, vehicle manufacturers have protectable trade dress rights in the distinctive shapes of their vehicles. The unique exterior design and shape of the vehicle is their `mark’ or `trade dress’ which distinguish the vehicle’s exterior shape not simply as distinctively attractive designs, but as the Manufacturer’s creations. This “trade dress” right bars the use of any silhouette, picture, caricature, or reproduction of the shape or appearance of the Manufacturer’s vehicle.  
 
If you are already offering motorcycle cards, consider offering the same card with a different bike silhouette.
 
 

Note, keywords are key!  To help shoppers find exactly what they want be sure to use terms that describe exactly what your card is ie: “touring motorcycle” “hog chopper bike” etc.
 
There are many different types of motorcycles that all have distinct usages, features, silhouettes and fans:
Standard, Cruiser, Sport, Touring, Dual-Sport, Off-Road, Scooters / Mopeds, Trikes …
 
We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using the Stock Cards function or your own graphic designs.

To expedite the review of these cards, please check Fast Track Review on the card image details page when you create your card and add a Note for Reviewers like “for BLOG– Wanted Cards”.

Nuts & Bolts – Year End Holidays Office Closure

 
For your planning purposes, in observation of the Christmas and New Year holidays, GCU offices will be closed on the following days:

Friday 12/25 – closed
Friday 1/1 – closed

This includes our dedicated Card Review team members who will not be reviewing cards on either of those days / times.

ALSO our Card Review team members and GCU personnel will be taking some additional days off between the day before Christmas and January 2nd so staffing will be present but very light.
Thank you for your understanding & patience while we all enjoy the holidays!   

From all of us at GCU, Happy Holidays and best wishes for a breath-of-fresh-air new year!
