Regina, a team member with Postable since 2015, has been writing on all things greeting cards, event planning and holiday festivities ever since. Based wherever there's WiFi, you can find Regina mulling over the best dog meme to showcase on this year's holiday card.

We all have friends who’d rather snuggle up with their cat than leave to do just about anything. That one friend who spends all of their extra money on cat nip and gourmet cat food. Or maybe they don’t even have a cat of their own, but spend all their free time day dreaming about it. Scrolling through endless funny cat videos is their favorite afternoon activity. Whatever the scope of their feline love — we all have someone in our lives that fits the bill. Whether you’re a cat person yourself or align more with the puppies (because puppies make the world go round) — sending cat greeting cards is an easy way to make your cat loving friends smile.
Ok so we can’t guarantee these get well soon cards will *actually make someone feel better, but they’re so darn nice to look at that it’s very likely these cards will help aid the process. The first step (of many potential steps) to making someone you know feel a little better is to send a nice get well soon card. No, a text is not going to cut it and while sending a long message via Facebook Messenger is nice — it still doesn’t carry the same impact. A lovely hold-in-your-hand card has a unique way of letting your person know that they’re in your thoughts. It takes a bit more effort to send an actual card as opposed to sending an email or a text message. Of course it doesn’t have to be THAT intensive (Postable can print, address and mail your card for you).
You’ve shared some of your proudest moments with your bestie and now they live miles and miles away. So many miles, in fact, that it’s impossible to see each other every day the way you’re used to. Actually, you haven’t seen each other in months or maybe even years — but your friendship is still as strong as ever. Friendships like these don’t come around often so it’s up to you (and your best friend) to keep in touch and keep the friendship going. What could you possibly do when you’re miles and miles (and miles) apart? For starters, you should let your bff know just how much you miss them. It’s the most obvious thing to do. Sending I miss you cards is the perfect way to start a long distance conversation — or even start pen pal-ing with each other! Either way, sending miss you cards will brighten your best friend’s day and you can have fun picking out the right card.
Expressing gratitude to your customers, employees and partners is key to building business loyalty and sustaining solid business relationships. This is especially true as consumers consider their connections to the brands they interact with and ultimately support. And although tacking a ‘Thanks much’ to the end of an email is good form, it certainly doesn’t replace the need to send a formal hold-in-your-hand thank you for your business note. We know a thing or two about business thank you notes as we’ve continued to help hundreds of businesses every year to increase customer retention with gratitude. There’s a certain art to writing the perfect thank you for your business note without sounding generic or sale-sy. We’ve got the details all mapped out so you can be sure to harness the power these tiny little cards wield in the world of business relationships.

National holidays that we didn’t know existed are constantly popping up on our newsfeeds and since we loved making the list of such holidays with the greeting cards to go along with them for the month of July — so much — we decided such a list was a must for the month of August. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate National Underwear Day anyway? Don’t answer that.
The sun is out, the pool cover is off and the kids are begging to go to the beach every chance they get (which is every other second considering they’re not in school). Summer is here — and yay to that! Winter was brutal and Spring was short AF but who cares when summer days are oh so beautiful! You’ve probably been attending one summer BBQ after another and want to throw your own little shindig. Summer gatherings are a great time to meet up with friends who were hibernating during the winter, eat some food, drink some booze and just enjoy the sunshine. Brunch is pretty much the best time of the day so why not theme your gathering around that? We’ve gathered some great summer brunch ideas to give you some food for thought for potential decor, food and the all important summer brunch party invites (which you can send without ever leaving the poolside).
Continue readingIf you own or manage a business of any size there’s a good chance you already appreciate the importance of having multiple touch points with your customer base. Whether that means running ads on social media and Google or reaching out via an email marketing campaign — you’ve likely already built a steady stream of touch points. Sending business birthday cards serves a similar function with a few added benefits that we think make this form of ‘advertising’ less superficial (when done right) and thus more effective. This list provides office administrators, marketing managers and small business owners alike 6 great reasons — as well as pro tips to getting the most out of your birthday campaigns — to sending business birthday cards.
If you had to write out a list of things that makes you a good friend, we’d guess that wishing your the people in your life a happy birthday would be somewhere on the list. Right? We hope so. Birthdays are kind of a big deal (by which we mean yes, really a big deal). Wishing your friends a happy birthday is just part of the deal — if not you, then who?! And while simply sending your wishes is a start — sending a simple ‘Happy Birthday’ text message just doesn’t cut it. If you’re thinking that writing an email or posting on your friend’s Facebook wall is any better — guess again.
If you want your friend(s) to really feel special on their birthday you’ll send them a card. It doesn’t take much effort (a few minutes — max), but it makes such a big difference in their day. Who wouldn’t want that?! Aside from being a kind gesture, sending birthday cards for friends can be fun! Picking out the card design that totally speaks to your friendship is kind of like a treasure hunt. Lucky for you, there’s a ton of great birthday cards for friends to choose from and we’ve compiled this fun list so you don’t even have to go searching for them. Go ahead, browse through this epic list and see which card(s) pop out for each one of your friendships. Continue reading
