Saving the Planet: Re-using One Greeting Card At a Time.

by Leave a Comment

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. This is exactly what reGreet, LLC. strives to achieve when they create their stylish stationary products. We live in a “Go Green” era in which eliminating the carbon footprints of both individuals and businesses is a high priority and a responsibility.

reGreet Greeting Card Organizer
ReGreet makes it easier to do just that by reusing greeting cards and giving back at the same time! You may wonder if people even use paper greeting cards anymore due to the popularity of electronic resources… the answer is YES! Paper greeting cards (hand delivered or sent by mail) have a special place in the hearts of everyone because it illustrates the importance of one person to another.

The philosophy of reGreet says “Why not do more with less?” There is no better description for a company who finds fulfillment in connecting others with one another and giving back to the community.  By using reGreet products, you are also saving yourself money and making a conscious effort to save our Earth. The creators of reGreet love to make a difference; besides creating these environmentally friendly products, they also donate a portion of every sale to various non-profit partners. The partners they selected this year for the cause are 4-H, The Nature Conservancy, and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

ReGreet developed a brilliant concept in which customers can reuse any greeting card and still have the ability to personalize the card for the person they are sending it to. How does it work? The greeting kit includes the necessary “materials” to re-purpose four greeting cards. These materials include the journey labels, signature labels, sheets of notepaper, and envelopes.

The interesting part about these cards is that anyone re-purposing a greeting card also sends a Hop Along Kit so that the recipient will have what they need to keep the card going. The journey labels that are placed on every envelope are assigned a journey code. Senders can log onto the reGreet website to “Track Your Journey” with the given code and see exactly when and where the card has been delivered around the world.

Regreet Envelopes
In addition, a Hop Along Kit is used as well to ensure that each card continues on its journey, where ever it may lead.

ReGreet green stationary products make great invitations, birthday cards, special occasion cards, or thoughtful notes to say “hi.”

This is a truly remarkable company that honestly cares for our planet and everyone that lives on it. Since the creation of the company in 2009, 900 cards have been sent to 1000 locations across 134,995 miles. That is just the beginning.

Increase Sales With Unique Greeting Cards And Stationery

by Leave a Comment

According to the Greeting Card Association, Americans exchange seven billion greeting cards every year. But what is the purpose of a greeting card? For many, greeting cards are used to convey sentiments they find hard to express. You can illicit or convey an emotion with the written words of a greeting card. And in order to sell stationery and greeting cards, you need a competitive edge to market them.

Let’s face facts. With cards and stationery, you are directly competing with box-stores. More bluntly, you are competing with cheap, generic greeting cards and stationery products. So how can you capture part of the massive greeting card market? The key is selecting cards and stationery products that are unique and speak to your customer base.

Finding Uniqueness Leads To Success

Pet Oriented Greeting Card
Uniqueness abounds in the greeting and stationery card world. The key is speaking your customers’ language. Do your customers love their pets? Pet oriented greeting cards speak to these customers. What dog lover can resist a greeting card with a Great Pyrenees dog on it?

Develop your greeting card strategy by thinking outside of your normal product mix box. Think more about the personalities of your customers when selecting your stationery products.

Do they enjoy humor? Find humorous greeting cards with a twist.

Are they sentimental? Find beautifully designed cards featuring soft, lyrical verses.

Does novelty peak their interest? Find cards with motion or sounds.

There is a greeting card for every personality. All you have to do is decide which personalities visit your store.

Thinking Outside The Box

Fashion Birthday Card
Statistically, women purchase the majority of stationery and gift cards, most of whom use fashion as a way to set themselves apart from the crowd.  Add fashion elements to your greeting card selections and sales will soar. Why? Because women want personality.

Think about it. Greeting cards found at mass merchants are often impersonal.  They leave one with a feeling of blandness.  Adding fashionable greeting cards gives the purchaser a perception of merit.

When purchasers perceive greater value in a product, they develop a warm Continue reading “Increase Sales With Unique Greeting Cards And Stationery” »
