Too Specific???
Jul 13^th, 2010, 1:13pm

I know this has been a hot subject lately, but...I submitted two Christmas cards. One- has "Peace" on the front and one has "Joy". The "peace" card was returned for not being in the right category. I had it in Holidays-Christmas - General. It should have been in Holidays- Christmas-Peace. The "joy" card was fine in the Christmas -General category, I NEVER in million years would have searched for anything that specific to categorize this card. SO why isn't there a Holiday-Christmas-Joy category??? Is being that specific getting a little too specific? It reminds me of that Brady Bunch ep where Greg says he will only live by exact words. Sorry had to rant.

Better to be among 397 cards vs 2,515 isn't it? That is one big benefit to specific categories, you've got a better chance of being seen. Roll Eyes

We're happy to break out "Joy" as well if it will give those cards a better chance to shine. Voila!

Holidays >> Christmas >> Joy / Joy to the World
