About custom card requests
Jun 21st, 2010, 1:19am
 
Hi all,
 
Could you please help me out with this? Am feeling really stupid and panicking a little...I just received my first ever custom card request but don't know at all what I'm supposed to do about it!!!  embarrassed The request said only that the customer needs "something special in design" for such and such event. This was the only information given. Attached was a copy of my card.
 
Are custom requests usually like this? And if they are, how do you proceed?!  
 
I would be grateful for any advice!!
 
Thanks in advance,
Irma

Hi Irma
 
Grats on the custom request, they can be a bit obscure at times to say the least.
 
Firstly I contact the customer and I am usually non business friendly, I found being to business chased them away, but being to informal can do the same Smiley so just be you. I think its best you accnowledge that they wrote as soon as you can.
 
Then I ask them what sort of design etc they would like, are they wanting it the same as the atached or a different version... usually gets you past the huh what stage Cheesy
 
I have not had a bad one yet, so far so good and only lost a few along the way, but on the whole good good fun to do.
 
Not everyone will do what I do I guess, but if they ask for a specific change, I try to make at least 4 new cards on similar lines but variations so they have some choice, but some don't like the time it consumes. I love it so I never mind Cheesy
 
Good luck hope it comes together nice for you
 
Hugs Moonie
