Writing business greeting cards is considerably different than trying to write a traditional greeting card. With a greeting card you might write for your family and friends, you'll often know our audience better and be able to gage who a certain joke would go over, or what would be found in poor or good taste. You'll also only be representing yourself.
However, when you're writing a greeting card on behalf of an entire company, you must be more careful. The first thing that you'll want to consider is what point you're trying to get across. No matter what your goal is with your business greeting cards, whether you're trying to express thanks, well wishes during the holiday season or informing your clients about a new promotion you have going on, understanding your own message first is key.
Once you know exactly what you're trying to say, you'll need to get started on writing. Most people find this difficult, but the best plan is to just keep jotting down ideas. Most of them will be bad but you'll likely be surprised with how quickly a few gems pop up. When in doubt, remember that keeping it simple is almost always the best idea.
When you have your idea and you're satisfied with it, take it around to a few different co-workers. Let them know that you're considering using it for your business greeting cards and ask them what they think. Pay attention to their reactions and make sure that they're not puzzled or confused. Your message should be clear, concise and hopefully something that will make your clients smile.
If everything seems to be going well and your co-workers like your idea, you'll next need to focus on finding the right company to handle the printing. This is an important step, as choosing the wrong company can not only get you over budget but can leave you with cards that you're embarrassed to have helped with and that won't reflect positively on your company.
Your best bet is to choose a full service printing company who has experience with not only business greeting cards, but with many other types of professional printing products as well. Typically this type of company will best be able to guide you in choosing a format, paper type and making sure that your idea looks as great on paper as it did in your imagination.
