9 ways to be a super-duper card sender

                                         
Research shows that on average we send 9 cards a year to friends and family.  If you've ever missed an important date then you'll know how important it is to get organised!  So,  i f you get the thought - get a card and you'll always have a card ready for giving. 

If you're a paper card giver - these tips will make sure that you don't miss the shops, or that important event.  For electronic greeting cards you can't beat the two top names in Ecards.

Be on the look out for great cards all around you.

1. Have you really got the time to give to your card buying and have you thought about those other essentials - the address and a postage stamp?
2. If you really do like walking around the mall or local shops then you probably know your favorite card shops, and their opening/closing times. That’s very important if you’re coming a distance or in a hurry.

Sending a card unexpectedly shows that you aren’t just limited by the main card giving events in our lives, but that you think of others at other times to. It shows your sensitivity to others’ life experiences and reinforces your friendship and character.

3. It’s often this unexpectedness that matters more than card giving at traditional events such as birthdays. We usually expect those, and yes, sometimes it can be hard to come up with something original.
4. Of course there’s always the possibility that our unexpectedness at giving cards to others may in time become almost part of what THEY expect from us.
5. Motive is what matters – the reason why you decide to act on impulse to send that card with hand-written message. What's your purpose in sending a card?  Is it to send your love, or to be seen to send? 
6. Acting on the thought is the thing that separates us from the rest. It’s easy to say we’ve thought of someone, but didn’t have time to or couldn’t get around to turning the thought into reality. Making it happen is the difference. It’s the connection between showing that we had the thought and thinking enough of them to make the effort.
7. Thinking of someone in our heads doesn’t allow us to show them that we care. Thinking of them with a card translates that into action.
8. Subscribing to one of the options above can help you to develop your own unique style of card giving by sending a card when you get the thought.

Go make someone’s day. Increase your card sending power.
