Order plenty to keep on hand so you’ll be ready to send a quick thank you or note of congratulations or just a thoughtful message for no occasion other than to keep your company name before your client.
Personalized cards show you care and will do wonders to strength existing relationships and build new ones. What other ways could you use these type custom printed cards?

A big thank you to those that have sent their unused greeting cards to us for repurposing. We have received cards in just about every category and have forwarded them on to non-profit organizations that have requested them.
We do want to thank S. Knighton from Newton, NC and L. Nix from Washington, DC, as well as all of those who have sent packages anonymously or with just their return address but no name included.
If you could use any of our donated cards, let us know how many and in what categories and what organization you represent and we will get them to you. We know holiday cards are great for showing your appreciation to donors, sponsors and volunteers and the season is fast approaching.
Again, thanks for your support of the CardsDirect Recycling and Reuse Program.

 My friend at work, Leah, told me about this cake recipe. I don’t really enjoy cooking but I sure do love deserts and this one is not only easy, but low calorie too! With only two ingredients, what’s not to love?!
Are you ready? Here it is:
1 Box Cake Mix
1 Can Diet Soda
Yep, that is all there is to it. Mix the two together and bake as per the directions on the cake box. Don’t add eggs or water or oil or anything else, just the mix and the soda. For chocolate, use a chocolate cake mix and dark soda. For a yellow or white cake, use a yellow or white mix and a light colored diet soda. Make sure you use diet though as a regular soda just doesn’t have the same chemical reaction and who needs all of those extra calories anyway!
Great for office pot-lucks, birthdays or just a quick and easy something sweet to eat, this is absolutely a fun way to bake!
Do you have any super easy recipes to suggest?

 I would like to politely remind everyone that this is National Etiquette Week. I know, I know! I didn’t realize it was this week either but for the past 13 years the second week in May has been officially proclaimed National Etiquette Week. We are encouraged to refresh our memories when it comes to the rules of etiquette and protocol. For a quick update on a few points of business etiquette that would make Emily Post proud, consider these:
Introductions. Introduce yourself and those around you to each other. Extend a hand for a firm handshake and look them in the eye while expressing a genuine greeting.
Appearance. It is always best to dress to impress but don’t overdo it. A conservative approach is often best if the proper attire for an event is unknown. Always, always bath and wear clean clothes in good repair. As mom might say, “Comb your hair, wash your face and brush your teeth”.
Meetings. Be on time and come prepared. Turn your cell phone off. Know the meeting agenda and be ready to contribute. Make eye contact and warmly greet everyone in the room. Stay positive.
Communication. Return phone calls or emails as soon as possible even if only to acknowledge the call for a future follow-up. When placing a call, state your name before asking to speak to someone. When leaving a voice mail message, leave your return phone number even if you know they already have it. Keep the message brief. If on speakerphone or a 3-way call, make sure the person at the other end is aware.
General. Please and thank you never goes out of style. Don’t chew gum or wear overpowering perfume or aftershave. Keep conversation mainstream by discussing the weather, current sporting events or movies. Never ever bring up politics, religion or gossip.
Please practice these simple but valuable rules of business etiquette and you and your business are sure to reap benefits. Thank you!
