Eco Friendly Greeting Cards Can’t Be Beat!

Monday, May 25th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

Eco friendly cards and stationery are the cat’s meow. Ask any eco conscious consumer and s/he will tell you the same thing. Eco friendly greeting cards is a rather broad term. Here are some of the most popular types of wholesale eco friendly greeting cards and what your eco conscious consumers would say to seeing them:

“It doesn’t matter what it used to be, a recycled greeting card might as well be made of gold.”

Recycled greeting cards are those that are made of recycled materials such as cardboard, paper and plastic. Depending on the original material, recycled greeting cards (greeting cards made of recycled products) can be more appealing than standard greeting cards! Give your eco friendly customers the choice between a greeting card made of colorful recycled plastic cookie packaging (it’s been done!) and a generic greeting card with no edgy appeal–the choice will always be the recycled greeting card.

“Offering plantable greeting cards is like planting a seed of eco friendliness.”

Plantable greeting cards can be planted in the ground. Just like seeded greeting cards, plantable greeting cards have seeds embedded in biodegradable paper. Once the paper has decomposed, the seeds are left and something beautiful blooms. It’s two gifts in one!

“Seeded greeting cards aren’t just growing in the ground–they’re growing in popularity!”

Seeded greeting cards are the same as plantable greeting cards. Both are printed on seed-embedded paper. Though these are the two most popular terms, you may also hear “plantable paper greeting cards” as well. Wholesale eco friendly greeting cards like these are great choices for the customers in your store that are “going green” or are going-going gone!

Get Inspired By Noel! You Know You Want To…

Monday, May 18th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

It’s pretty hard not to find an occasion to send greeting cards after looking at the animal greeting cards at Inspired By Noel. Dogs, cats and even a giraffe find their way to the covers of these sentimental and funny greeting cards. If you want to delight the pet owners in your store, help them find a reason to send greeting cards. In that moment, you’ll all be glad that you got Inspired By Noel.

Being a dog owner is something that gets to the heart of who the person is. It makes you want to rush home from work and see the eager face waiting at the door. It makes you see the your dog in every other dog or dog picture out there. You even begin to sympathize with the guy holding the plastic bag. When you’ve reached this level of a-dog-ration, you begin to shop for pet products that speak to this side of you.

Have customers that have reached this point and then some? Make their hearts skip a beat with greeting cards that express their sentiments through the adoring eyes of a puppy.

Oh but the same can be said for cat owners. Cat owners are a different breed (slight pun intended) but require the same level of high quality products for their pets. They don’t center their lives around Kitty but they do make the same “awwww” sound when they pick up cat greeting cards off your shelves.

Even people who don’t have pets see the beauty in wholesale pet greeting cards. After all, everyone has a friend that is crazy about their pet …click here to read Get Inspired By Noel! You Know You Want To……

Thursday, May 14th, 2009 - Posted by Brynn Jackson

Do your customers write? In the age of knowledge, the most likely answer to that question is “yes.” We’re not all limited to the blogosphere. A lot of writers (including this one) prefer to put ideas and thoughts on paper first. Even something as simple as a grocery list is a necessity at some point.

While it’s just as easy to write on boring lined paper, it’s no fun. In the contemporary mindset of today’s consumers, fun is where it’s at. That’s why fun and funky wholesale stationery Frazzled and Bedazzled is an instant hit.

It’s not just the traditional idea of stationery that fills the product pages of Frazzled and Bedazzled. Note books, list pads, note cards, scrapbooks and more are available. Where Frazzled and Bedazzled leaps ahead of the competition is in the design of their stationery. It’s edgy. It’s colorful and charms the room with an air of artistic authority. It’s fun stuff and your customers will love each piece.

Greeting Your Customers With Cards

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009 - Posted by Leigh Morrisett

Greeting Cards Capture Emotions

I laughed, I cried, my soul was touched. All these emotions came from reading greeting cards at my local gift store.

Relatively inexpensive and easy to display, greeting cards are a compliment to any existing product line you carry. In fact, gift givers are more likely to purchase a greeting card at the same place in which they purchased the gift. In essence, you have a captive buying audience. You sell a gift and the greeting card purchase is inevitable. It’s as simple as that.

What You Need To Know About Greeting Cards

Over 7 billion dollars worth of greeting cards are purchased each year. To effectively capture a piece of this market, it is important to know the ins and outs of the greeting card world. Seasonal and every day are the two categories which divide the greeting card market.

Seasonal greeting cards are just as the name implies; cards revolving around a holiday season. For example Christmas cards, Halloween cards, Easter cards, Valentines Day cards, and Mother’s/Father’s Day cards, as well as graduation cards are all considered seasonal or holiday cards. These types of cards account for 50% of greeting card sales. In this group, Christmas cards are the big sellers with 60% of the category’s sales.

All other cards are lumped into a category called everyday. These cards revolve around events that can occur on any given day. Birthday cards, sympathy cards, congratulation (wedding/engagement) cards, anniversary cards along with friendship cards make up the everyday card group. Parallel to the Christmas cards in sales, birthday cards are the top seller in this category.

We’ve shown you the numbers on why greeting cards are good sellers, what greeting cards are and the identifiable groups they belong to. But, you want the answer to the most important greeting card question “how do you sell them?”

Greeting card marketing is kind of like that movie “Field Of Dreams”. You know the one where Kevin Costner builds a baseball field on the premise “build it they will come”. Greeting cards are that field. Select good wholesale greeting card suppliers with themes in line with your products and they will sell.

Tips For Selecting And Selling Greeting Cards

A tip to keep in mind when selecting card from your wholesale greeting card vendor is balancing trendy with traditional. You will want a combination of trendy as well as classic greeting cards. Trendy cards are those types that play music, have led lights along with movable artistry, or even humorous political cards. Classic cards are the cards that are timeless. They follow a pattern that has been seen for ages. For example, classic greeting cards are often the Mother’s Day cards embellished with calligraphy and floral pictures or wedding cards with a very formal and proper tone. However, that doesn’t mean this is the only style for these types of cards. With greeting cards, you have the many options running the gamut from humorous to classic and from artistic to cartoonish.

A versatile assortment is the strategy that works best for most gift shops. Carry a wide selection in both the seasonal and everyday categories. Select cards that set you apart from the crowd. Look for quirky cards that most people won’t find in the “marts”. Find cards that evoke an emotional response. The idea with greeting cards is to affect the person purchasing the card. Greeting card buyers want to feel emotion because they are using the card to send an emotional message.

“Heavy on the holidays” is a strategy that suits flower shops. Weight your seasonal selection with more Mother’s day and Valentine’s Day cards as convenient add-on sales. However, a few every day cards will still be needed. Don’t forget the blank greeting cards which are fantastic ways for customers to personalize their floral gifts.

Greeting your customers with seasonal and everyday cards puts you in the game with the potential to win a piece of a 7 billion dollar market. Your “Field Of Dreams” resides in greeting cards sales. Offer a card for every occasion and they will sell.

The wholesale greeting card vendors at FGmarket can provide all your cards needs from humorous to sentimental, from classic to trendy and from quirky to cards made from recycled paper. To jump start your search for the perfect greeting cards for your store, we have profiled a few of the many wonderful greeting card companies available through the FGmarket wholesale directory.
