Nuts and Bolts: Review Times & Submission Details.

April 24, 2020

Nuts & Bolts – Review Times & Submission Details

 

It is wonderful to see artists creating new cards.  Especially artists that have not submitted in quite a while.  GCU is very appreciative and we hope you are enjoying making creative and productive use of your sheltered-in-place situations.

 

Submissions are up! This means more submissions for the review team.  First, we are so thankful to have our review team members working from home per usual and pretty much not missing a beat.  Can you say GRATEFUL?  We do every day!

 

We’re all a little off our game and struggling to find a new norm.  GCU is noticing both artists and reviewers making more than usual oversights and errors.

 

Due to the increased number of submissions and increase in errors the review times have increased slightly from 2 – 5 days days to 5-10 days.  You can check the Reviewing Cards Submitted on: date on your Admin page.

 

We’d like to request you to refortify your attention to the basics and details. One thing most of us have in abundance right now is time. Please take that extra time  to scan the details before clicking submit. Perhaps print out the Card Submission 101 document again and post it in your workspace.

 

In particular:

 

For example:
Incorrect Title:  cute green cat in a box birthday for cat lover
Correct Title:  Birthday for Cat Lover a Cute Green Cat in a Box

 

4. Avoid / Remove Extra Blank Lines above and below inside verse

 

Issues with the above will result in a Return for Edits which means more work for you, for the reviewer, and slower review times for everyone.

 

There is a general feeling of panic (especially after watching the news). Don’t let that get to you. No need to rush. Enjoy your creating and submission process.  Looks like we’re going to be in this predicament for a while so we might as well get comfortable.

 

 

Thank you for your attention, submissions, and be well!

 

The difference is made in the details!

Nuts and Bolts: Custom Requests Inside Text (repost)

April 17, 2020

Nuts & Bolts – Custom Requests Inside Text (repost)
 
We are seeing a lot of new customers shopping on our site.  Many of them do not realize that they can change the inside verse on all of our cards to personalize them.  Many of you may be seeing an upswing of custom requests that are solely for inside verse changes.

 

These are requests for a design change directly from a shopper via the Manage Custom Requests tool.


You may be getting 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”
Shoppers can do this themselves!

 

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!

Wanted New Cards: Mother’s Day Bereaved.

Wanted Cards – Mother’s Day Bereaved

 

Mother’s Day is not a joyous occasion for all moms.  For those moms who have lost a child, be it miscarriage, teen or even an adult child, Mother’s Day is a painful reminder of their loss. For many grieving moms, no acknowledgement of the day from friends and family can make the day simply unbearable.

 

We are in need of more cards for the following subcategories for Bereaved on Mother’s Day:
>> 1st / First Mother’s Day Bereaved 
>> General Bereaved on Mother’s Day
>> Miscarriage / Stillborn / Angel Baby
>> Mother’s Day without Son
>> Mother’s Day without Daughter
>> Other Bereaved on Mother’s Day
Please use great care and sensitivity creating these cards.  The reviewers will be accomodating on verses and not require them to be so literal as long as they speak to the occasion, sentiment and relation accordingly.  

 

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 Stock Card Creation, add a little note about the intended category in your Notes to Reviewers as well as a note on all submissions like “submitting per the Wanted Cards blog posting”.
