Some advice please..
Jan 16th, 2014, 11:48am
 
Hi there, I am making birthday cards that are relationship and age specific.
Can I use categories
 
  birthday-for family relation-daughter-age specific
       and
  birthday-age specific-4th birthday
 
or do I have to choose a collections if I want a second category?
Thanks so much!

Hi Betsy Smiley I'm pretty sure you can use both categories as I have seen cards like that under both.

Thanks Cindy, I was told that the first is the only one to use, and to use a collections category for the second. I know sometimes I struggle with which categories to choose! Smiley

Hi Betsy,
 
Reviews have told me a number of times that relationship specific, age specific can only go under the relationship category.  See WIki http://www.gcuwiki.com/ig.html
It makes sense that the general category could really get bogged down with special relationship cards.
 
I usually do 1 of 2 things to get more exposure:
1. Create a readjusted matching card with no relationship and put it in the age specific category.
2. If card is for kids, I usually create a matching card and replace relationship with "to a special girl" or "to a special girl" then this can go under general birthday, age specific category.  It goes pretty fast if you are customizing the relationship.  A plus is that these more generic cards are more likely to be purchased by bulk card buyers.
 
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Kati! I did the general cards first,now working on the specific relations. I forgot about the "special girl" angle though! Thank you for refreshing my memory! Smiley
