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”.

Nuts and Bolts: Reviewer / Artist Communications.

Nuts & Bolts – Reviewer /  Artist Communications

 

We encourage a positive working relationship between the review team and our artist community. Reviewers are GCU artists, so they’re just like you!  There are a few ways this is done to foster clear communications and a positive working vibe making the review process as efficient as possible for all.

 

1. Notes to Reviewer – when a card is first submitted please include a note that gives additional information for the reviewer to assist in the review of your submission.  You are not able to update this field at any other time, however you can append to it if your card was Returned for Edits. This is the primary place (and quickest) for reviewers to know what they need to know.

 

2. Card Review Emails – with each action by a reviewer on your submitted card(s), reviewers can leave important notes.  If your submission is a straightforward and simple approval, there may not be a note.  But if they have made any changes to your submission (category, keywords, etc.), are returning it for edits, or have declined your card there will ALWAYS be a note.

 

THESE NOTES ARE VERY IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ THEM and refer to any additional resources they instruct you to seek.

 

3.  Email – if you need to reach the review team directly send an email to cardreview@gcuniverse.com  Please be specific and be sure to include the product id number(s) in question.
Good communication is an important part of all relationships and is an essential part of any healthy partnership. Thank you for your teamwork!

All COVID-19 specific cards should also go in the catchall category:

Submit these cards for FastTrack review. We’d like you to create at least one card for these categories using your own graphic designs or Stock Card Creations.  Be sure to leave a note in the Note to Reviewers like “requested on the blog”.

Nuts & Bolts – Collection Minded Designs

I love a good collection.  Makes for an interesting grouping of cards, especially of a favorite subject matter or by a favorite artist.  Shoppers often ask if we sell boxed sets of cards, and we always share that they can mix and match to make their own.

 

Here is a lovely example of a collection of like minded designs for Birthday by Flower Month by GCU artist Cathie Richardson:

 

Just food for thought for artists when you are thinking of different ways to use your designs.
Well done, Cathie Richardson, perhaps some of my favorite cards.  I can see ordering all 12 months of these to have on hand or trying a ribbon around them to give as a gift.

 

 

The difference is made in the details!
