Greeting Cards: More Than Meets The Eye

With the Father’s Day celebration last June, greeting card stores have surely went from blah days to Roar days due to the sudden flow of people.

Though, the numbers of greeting cards buying people have decreased recently with the popularity of e-cards and different social media platforms that allowed anyone to greet their loved ones easier and faster, we cannot deny that there are still those who go the extra mile.

However, despite of that, sometimes the true essence of exchanging greeting cards gets set aside for superficial reasons. We tend to focus on the design of the card, on how it would “look” rather than how the receiver would “feel” with what’s written on it.

Don’t get this wrong, it’s an honor to receive a well-crafted card, but I’d like to believe than we still value the message that comes along with it. I, personally, am more excited to know what the sender of the card has to say.

So, why don’t you, for a change, pay more attention on crafting a heartfelt message. It doesn’t matter how short or long, as long as it comes from the heart.
