of giving corporate birthday cards is a good one. They are a
nice way to make your clients feel appreciated and valued.
Importance of Giving Corporate Birthday Cards
A birthday is a
very personal and special day for anyone. When you receive a
gift or a card on your birthday you feel extra special. Many
businesses give gifts and Christmas cards at Christmas time but
birthdays are often neglected. This might be because you do not
know your client’s birthday, but more likely it is because you
choose not to send birthday cards. A great opportunity is being
missed here because a birthday card from someone unexpected such
as your company will be remembered.
Advantage of Personalised Birthday Cards
Giving
personalised birthday cards has many advantages that will help
your business in the long run:
- Corporate
birthday cards are a simple way to build client
relationships.
- They add to
the overall customer experience with your business.
- They are a
different idea and therefore very well appreciated by most
clients.
-
Personalised birthday cards can invoke a feeling of a close
and reliable relationship.
- In a newly
formed business relationship, they are a great way to show
that your business is interested in your clients on a
personal level.
- Sending out
birthday cards is a great way to market your business as
well. Even without an accompanied offer, birthday cards can
still increase repeat sales.
Tips for Giving Corporate Birthday Cards
In an age when
electronic mail is used much more often than actual mail,
receiving an electronic greeting card is quite underwhelming.
However, receiving an actual birthday card in the mail is a very
special thing now. Here are some tips for making sure your
birthday cards are unique and appreciated:
- Decide what
image you want to present to your client. The card you send
out will tell the recipient a lot about your business.
Decide if you want to project a happy and appreciative tone
or a professional and serious image.
- The
recipient of the card is the important factor in choosing
the design of the card. Here the demography of the
recipient, the age and the gender shall play an important
role. The design should ideally be as neutral as possible.
- The actual
design of the card should be kept as simple as possible,
images and text only. Keep the text simple and to the point
so as to get the right message across. A long loving message
is not appropriate.
- Ensure that
the quality of the actual birthday card is of the highest
order. Avoid flimsy birthday cards. A classy birthday card
with foil printing is a nice touch but not essential.
- And lastly,
ensure that your birthday card reaches your client on time
or just a little before time. Early is OK, but late is not
so good. Ensure you have the right dates and addresses.
Definitely don’t refer to your client’s age.
