NCAA Final FourCardsDirect is pleased to be a national supporter of the NCAA Final Four Basketball Championships to be held in Indianapolis on April 3. Believing that the sending of personalized greeting cards for all occasions is a relationship building slam dunk, the combination of greeting cards and basketball is a winning combination.

A well rounded business uses Birthday Cards, Anniversary Cards, Thank You Cards and more on a daily basis to booster relationships and court new ones. Building a business means teamwork before, during and after a sale. Just as West Virginia, Duke, Michigan State and Butler have confirmed, it takes more than one player on a team to win big. CardsDirect knows that it takes more than Holiday Cards to keep your name in front of your clients and business associates throughout the year and greeting cards are great for a full-court press.

Greeting cards can tip-off your customers to special events or big sales.

By now you’ve all heard the story about the 6 year old in Colorado whose parents thought he had taken a joy ride in the family’s experimental helium balloon. No less than the Norad and the US Air Force were strategizing ways to bring him down safely. Turns out he was hiding from his parents at home and not even in the balloon, thank goodness. Sure made for some interesting live news though!

Anyway, it brought these uplifting images to mind! Don’t wait until its too late to let someone know you care. Opportunities like these can float away unexpectedly! Rise to the occasion by sending one of these:

Flip-Flops!Yes, I was one of the thousands who ventured out a few weekends back for $1 flip-flops. I left empty handed (teach me to sleep in on a Saturday morning), but the regular cost is really quite reasonable for flip-flops bought anywhere. Stock up on colorful flops to use as party favors at your next pool party.



If you’re feeling creative, go ahead and paint some cute designs on them or tie 4” x 1” pieces of colorful fabric onto them for a really cute party favor.
Fabric Wrapped Flip-Flops



Better yet, hot glue an artificial flower on there and you’ve turned your $1 buy into a $12 distinctive work of art.



DIY Flips

No running around the pool, of course, but you can strut your stuff in style with inexpensive custom decorated flip-flops made by you!

I have a nephew who was born on January 5. Unfortunately, his birthday is nearly overlooked each year as it comes just after the big holiday hoopla season. When he was young my sister would celebrate with a party for friends and family on June 5 just so he would get some special attention. He, of course, never knew it wasn’t the real day of his birth but that didn’t last long.

My mother was born on the fourth of July. Until she was around 6 she thought all the parades and fireworks were in celebration of her birth. I doubt my grandparents did much to correct her misperception.

I would love to hear from any of you out there who know of someone born on or close to a holiday and how you help them celebrate and feel special.

Speaking of which, CardsDirect has an entire line of wonderful Birthday Party Invitations you just have to see. Birthdy Party Invitation
