Appreciating Family

In the busy world that we live in, it is such a nice thing to take a moment to acknowledge and appreciate the people that are closest to us. I often send greeting cards to thank family members for all sorts of things. It can be as simple as making the effort they made to come and visit, a call, or a gift that I have received for a special occasion.

I like to use my digital camera and capture the moment. If we are out at the park playing or having a BBQ, I will take a photo and then surprise them by turning the photo into a great card and sending it in the mail. Sending a thank you card is such an easy thing to do and being able to quickly turn a photo into a card means that I always have just the right card for every occasion.

A while ago, I went to the aquarium with my sister and her two boys. We had a great day out and saw many exciting things. I sent my 5 year old nephew a card with him on the front cover, standing in front of some big sharks that he was looking at. It was a nice way to thank him for a great weekend and also remind him of the great time we had together.

You will see him standing there looking at the sharks and other fish. I simply put the guess who caption on the photo and put some other great photos of our weekend on the inside of the card. You can imagine the excitement of a 5 year to get a card in the mail, and then to open it and see yourself on the front cover…what a hoot!

When he got the card he called to say thank you and we had a great chat about the time we spent in Sydney at the zoo and the aquarium.

The reason the greeting card company I work for came into existence was because of an accident that killed the CEO’s brother. He was busy moving house and felt an urge to contact his brother but he let it pass because he had too many other things to do at the time. His bother was killed soon after and he didn’t ever get to tell him that he appreciated and loved him.

The result of this tragedy was a greeting card company that allows people to act on a prompting by sending a physical card in the mail with the convenience of being able to browse from a huge collection of cards online, type in your message, and hit the send button. Within a few working days the person has a top quality card, in an envelope, with a first class stamp on it. This is at a cost surprisingly less than what it actually costs to buy a standard greeting card.

This makes it so easy to thank the people that are closest to you, even if you are physically a long way away. The ability to upload your own photos makes these thank you cards just that little bit extra special.

Give it a try, you will be surprised by the response.
