Holiday card to Automotive Repair Shop Customers
Apr 20^th, 2010, 4:45pm

from a shopper...

"Our company is looking for a holiday card we can send to our customers, who are Automotive Repair Shops, for the holidays and thanking them for their business. Not sure exactly what kind of card - funny, serious, etc. but we want an automotive repair theme and we'll know it when we see it! Also we usually wish them Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings not Merry Christmas but images of Santa are ok. We usually send a very traditional card but are ready to break out and send something more clever. Hope you can help!"

The shopper will find these cards here:
Business >> Christmas >> Industry Specific >> Automotive

To expedite the review of these cards please check "Fast Track Review" on the Card Image Details page when you create your card.

Mindy,

I just checked out the link you suggested to the customer looking for an automotive themed Holiday Card and was very surprised to find that not one of my cards was included. All my cards are automobile themed and that includes holiday cards. May I please have my cards included on this link so this customer may see them?

Thanks,
Tony

Also might depend which category you added your cards to? Just taking a guess till Mindy gets back to you. Cheryl

Just a thought re Linda's 'Can you please ask them (the auto request people) if they have a logo or "store brand" that we can play around with?'

All good for private gallery custom design, but with customization available, why not design cards that can have logo dropped into later (when customer finds what they are looking for) and suggest such is easily done in Artist notes. Alternatively, the customer can put their own logo or picture image inside card now that pictures can be uploaded and printed inside.

Looking forward to seeing the cards that come from this customer query.

Cheers, Lisa

Linda_132742 Gold Member artist Posts: 1796	Re: Holiday card to Automotive Reply #10 - Apr 21^st, 2010, 8:04am Good points, Lisa, but what I was wondering was, perhaps they have a logo that can be altered by the artist SLIGHTLY to reflect the holiday theme. These cards would be placed in "Private Galley" indeed. Linda
