Celebrate Pets-Related Holidays in May with Personalized Trading Cards

Did you know that May marks the arrival of several pets-related holidays? It’s true. For starters, it just so happens to be National Guide Dog Month, National Pet Month, Go Fetch! Food Drive for Homeless Animals Month and National Pet Foster Care Month. Hug Your Cat Day, Be Kind to Animals Week, National Dog Bite Prevention Week, National Pet Week and National Special-abled Pets Day are all scheduled to take place as well. In our opinion, that makes the month of May the perfect time to invest in custom trading cards.

What do custom trading cards have to do with pets? It’s simple really. At Custom Sports Cards, we can create one, or a whole series of, personalized pet trading cards for an affordable price. The pet trading cards may then be used for fundraising, promotional or personal use. For example, let’s pretend that this month, a local humane society wants to collect food for the animals and encourage pet adoption. They could order a series of personalized pet trading cards that feature the organization’s adoptable pets. Those cards could then be given out to potential pet owners at special events. Maybe seeing the personalized pet trading cards will encourage people to actually adopt the animals and make those needed food donations.

Our personalized pet trading cards come in a variety of formats that organizations and individuals may choose from. Many people opt to select a format that features a photo of an animal on one side and stats about it on the other. There is even enough space on the cards to list a website address, physical address and phone number. That way, people will know where they may go to adopt the featured pet or make a food donation. Our minimum order is 12 cards and design services are included in the list price.

For more information about our personalized pet trading cards, including suggestions on how to incorporate them into special events, please contact us at (877) 385-0060.

5 Tips for Planning a Sports-Themed Wedding

Hey Sports fans, if you're wondering how to include your favorite sport into your wedding day (like baseball or football) without making your potential in-laws freak out, then you've come to the right place.  We have tons of ideas for incorporating sports into a wedding, without actually numbering your bridesmaids.

1. Sports-Themed Wedding Locations

Consider using the stadium or ball field for a wedding location. Football, Soccer and Baseball fields will have a beautifully manicured lawn that you can decorate and fill with thousands of tables and chairs. A Basketball court will have shiny polished wood floors.  You knew that.  

Many sports facilities host trade shows and other events when there's no game.  You might need to call more than a year in advance in order to secure the facility.  Smaller facilities will be cheaper than larger ones. If you live in a smaller town or if you're looking at a public ball field or high school gymnasium, the cost will be significantly lower, maybe even free.

2. Team-Inspired Wedding Colors

Using your favorite team's colors as your wedding colors is another way to include sports into a wedding theme.  When bride and groom are fans of rival teams, consider choosing elements from each team color.  Having the bridesmaids in the bride's team colors and the groom's men in his team colors, then decorating the rest of the reception with combinations of the team colors, for a bright and vibrant combination. Kind of like the playoffs, only much sweeter.

3. Sports-Themed Centerpieces for Wedding Reception Tables

A clever and resourceful florist or wedding planner can design custom-made centerpieces and table decor that reflects just about any sport you can think of.  Tastefully combining sports equipment with flowers, ribbons and candles is just the type of challenge that wedding planners dream of. These photos will be all over their Facebook business page.

4. Sports-themed Wedding Invitations

Instead of the traditional vellum-printed wedding invitations, go with something more appropriate, like photo playing cards. Your wedding details can be the "stats" on the back. 

5. Keepsake Wedding "Team" Photos

After the ceremony, send everyone in your bridal party a "team photo" thanking them for their sportsmanship. 

Wedding planning doesn't have to be all formal and fancy. Your wedding is your special day and you're more likely to host a memorable event if you decide to stay true to your personality. That's what your friends already love about you.  Don't be afraid to plan a sports-themed wedding if that's what you really want. Contact us to hear more about photo sports cards and printing team pictures.

Dear Friends,

I wanted to share my thoughts about fans on facebook or at least my take on it.

There are many ways to get fans I have read a lot on this topic having a fan page it is important to be knowledgeable to some degree.

I have “liked” a number of pages myself mostly things I would be interested in, I tend to like pages that I am not asked for my email I am sure you will agree most of us are already signed up for too many newsletters and specials we seldom have time to read.

For our fan page I prefer the approach of having it available without using different methods to get more fans. We have grown our fan page organically and I have to say we have awesome fans the number does not matter. Many of you would be surprised the number of customers who have become friends.

As you may have noticed I post a lot of quotes I happen to love quotes I even share them on my own personal facebook page that has nothing to do with Custom Sports Cards. I prefer it to be a page where you can stop by and maybe read a quote that is relateable or something you want to share.

From time to time I share some of my favorite cards quite frankly there are so many it’s hard to choose, especially the birth announcements and near and dear to my heart are pets I have always been a animal lover.

I believe there is something I do not articulate enough and that is we are here to help and I believe we can do that without bugging you with “buy now before the offer expires”.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this I am always open to suggestions it has been the nuts and bolts of how our company has grown from wonderful suggestions from our customers.

Cheers,

Pam
