Do it yourself" is popular these days. Over a weekend
you can build your own website, change the oil in your own car, and redo your
kitchen (okay, maybe two or three weekends for that last one). In that
vein of "do it yourself", many online photo card companies are now
offering similar customer interface models. You make all of your card
selections, upload your photos, add your text & view your card layouts
online immediately before ordering. While these systems work fine for the
retailers, they minimize the amount of hands-on time that is given to each
order and each customer. At Photo Card Creations, we offer a more hands-on approach to
designing your cards and providing you exceptional service. While we
offer the same online ordering options, we have professional graphic designers
that personally review & work on your order. Once your proofs are
ready to view (our turnaround time is 1-3 days), you will receive an email with
links to view your proofs. We will even send you a hardcopy proof via
mail, if you’d prefer…a service none of our competitors offers.
One of the problems with the automated systems is that no one
checks your work along the way. What if your photos are high enough
resolution to look fine on your computer screen, but not high enough to print
well? At an automated shop you may not realize that mistake until your
order arrives and your cards (namely, your photos) look terrible. At
Photo Card Creations, we would catch that issue immediately and be in touch to
help resolve it. We also help with spell checking, text blocking and
layout, minor photo retouching and cropping. We are a full-service shop, ready to speak with and work with
you.
Photo Card Creations is a ‘boutique’ custom card company. While
smaller than some of our competitors, we offer a more personal
experience. Our employees are experienced graphic designers, able to work
with you to make sure the final product is exactly what you want.
Although we have templates and suggested text on our website, most of cards can be completely
customized. If you want
anything customized, we can do it (well, ALMOST anything!). Want to change the size of the photo in the card you like? We can do that. Want to use a specific font for your text that you don’t see in our
offerings? Just send us the file & we’ll use it. Want to customize the
colors on your cards to match your flowers or clothing in your photo? We can do
that too!
In short, sometimes it's great to "do it yourself" and receive
immediate gratification. Other times it's more beneficial to have someone
personally handling your order, someone who knows the inside scoop, who can
make suggestions, catch mistakes & who will work with you to make sure your
cards look fabulous! And, if you have a question, you can call us
and speak to a LIVE PERSON!
