Warmer weather has reached us here in Minnesota and the CARDSource crew is ready for your spring projects!  

CARDSource has earned Great Printer Status!

We are really excited to share our Certification in the Printing Industry Midwest (PIM) Great Printer Environmental Initiative program.  This is a voluntary program in which printers demonstrate their commitment to minimize impact on human health and the environment while producing quality printed products.

The task of marketing your business in these truly unprecedented times is a daunting and challenging one, especially as many business owners face restrictions on the types of sales allowed and the closures of many service based companies. 

When creating a card program, whether it be for a gift, membership or loyalty cards, etc., you must consider which option works within your existing point-of-sale (POS) platform.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new gift card ordering site, Design Studio. This website provides an easy, quick and convenient way to design and order gift cards. It features a clean and simple layout with intuitive navigation and design tools to make any small business owner feel like a graphic designer without requiring any experience.

Do you have an ecommerce business and have been thinking about selling gift cards? We are here to tell you why it makes excellent business sense, and why you should use physical cards. 

Sales gets an order. The customer is excited that they will get their product before it is needed. One thing leads to another, and the product is late, there are errors in the data, or the piece is subpar.

Ever wonder how many people have loyalty cards, why they use these cards or how much more they spend than those that don’t? Or maybe you’ve asked yourself, how will this type of program affect my business? Well, let us answer a few of those questions for you…

InDesign

In order to share content with another user, it is very helpful to package the file prior to sending it. This puts all of the images, fonts, styles and any links you might have all in one place, making it easy for the user to use the same file. Because you are not amble to embed images within InDesign, this makes it highly important to package files before sharing.
