Cheap, Fast, or Quality

Why Every Business Must Choose Two

There is a simple truth in business that never goes away.

In a competitive marketplace, brands are always searching for ways to rise above the noise and create memorable experiences for their customers. One of the most effective yet often overlooked methods is through the use of custom-shaped cards and specialty pieces. While standard rectangular cards are the industry norm, custom shapes can transform a functional item into a powerful marketing tool that strengthens brand identity and drives customer engagement.

In today’s digital first world, it feels like everything has moved online. From e-wallets to mobile coupons, there is no shortage of digital alternatives to traditional tools. And yet, when it comes to gift cards and loyalty programs, physical cards continue to outperform their electronic counterparts. The question is simple: if e-cards are so convenient, why are businesses still investing heavily in plastic and paper cards? The answer lies in psychology, marketing, and measurable return on investment.

First Impressions Last

In the digital age, where apps and virtual wallets dominate, physical items like loyalty cards or VIP keyring hangers may seem outdated. However, these tangible tools offer unique benefits that go beyond encouraging repeat visits. They play a significant role in fostering brand awareness, visibility, and overall business growth.

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.

We volunteered our time to help clean our local streets in Eagan.

It’s no secret that the CARDSource staff likes fishing. Therefore, it was no surprise this year when there was an employee-run fishing event for the 2016 fishing opener!

Celebrating Earth Day with a battle of coins!

In 1970, the first Earth Day gave voice to an emerging consciousness, channeling human energy toward environmental issues. Forty-six years later, we continue to lead with groundbreaking ideas and by the power of example. Earth Day achieves a rare political and social alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons, and labor leaders. (earthday.org).
