Coming soon! Website Redesign!!

It's long since overdue.... our website, www.Sweet-Greetings.com, is being redesigned! Although I feel that our current site is super cute, it seems as if over the years as things have been added and moved around, the functionality of it could use a makeover.

We also feel that it's confusing for customers that we have a website, a separate estore and a separate blog. We will be combining our website with our estore so that everything is in one nice, neat little package. This will make our site easy to move through so that customers can find what they are looking for - quickly and easily!

We hope to reveal the new www.Sweet-Greetings.com design sometime on or before September 1. Until then, please continue to enjoy our current site.

Tip of the month!

Marketing Tip: Networking with local businesses

Lawn signs are not only perfect for placing in someones front yard on their special day, but they also make terrific gifts for employers, their staff and coworkers!

1. Ask friends and family to hand out your marketing information to their coworkers (as long as it's permitted) or simply place your marketing materials in the office lunchroom or on office bulletin boards. Include a special coupon!

2. Offer discounts to customers who rent signs to be placed outside their office or business. Not only will they love having a discount and surprising their coworkers, but having your sign placed on commercial property is great advertising for your business.


3. Work directly with the company. We have several companies that use Sweet Greetings as their main source of gifts for their employees. When a staff member has a special occasion (new baby, birthday, wedding...) the company purchases a sign rental for their employee. Sometimes they have it delivered to the employees home and sometimes they have it placed outside the business itself. Either way, helping employers celebrate their staff builds great business relationships. It feels good to receive a personalized sign and feels extra good coming from an employer who appreciates their employees. Signs also make great gifts for the boss! Don't forget Boss's day and his/her birthday!

4. Offer your signs for local business promotions: grand openings, sales, store events and more!

5. Network with local party planners and party entertainers (clowns, fairy's, magicians...).

6. Work with local real estate agents (many agents offer the new homeowners a gift). Not only is it awesome to see the 'SOLD' sign in front of the home you just purchased, but seeing a beautiful lawn display saying 'Welcome HOME' is an added bonus for the homeowner as well as the agent... and you!

Signs for all occasions!

I thought it would be fun to highlight some of our non-traditional rentals. We all know that storks are for babies and our graduation owl is for grads etc., but our signs are so versatile that they can actually be used in SO many unique ways!

For instance, cakes are not just for birthdays! We eat cake to celebrate countless occasions and our cake signs are used for countless occasions as well. This week we did a cake rental to congratulate a local customer on "taking the cake" for being named one of the top dentists in the country! What a special way to announce this extraordinary moment!


Another really great rental was when our customer requested our cowboy sign to celebrate a 60th birthday! Our adorable signs are great for the young as well as the young at heart. Life is to short for boring gifts - give the gift of pure joy! That's one of the best parts of owning this business. I love helping others celebrate in a fun way!
