Americans spend nearly $7.5 billion on greeting cards each year, 
    with the average household buying 30 cards in a year, 
    according to the Greeting Card Association.

Americans send more prepackaged sentiment than any other people on earth.  Americans send eight million cards per day.  Nine out of 10 Americans look forward to receiving personal letters and greeting cards. Adding a personal touch to your greeting cards can make them even more special to the receiver

Seasonal cards accounts for 30 percent of all sales. It’s no wonder that super markets, grocery stores and convenience stores like 7 eleven, royal farms and others are taking advantage of the greeting card craze. 

We offer the whole gamut of greeting cards as well as ideas and tips for folks who love to send them out.  Members can order specialty greeting cards, thank you cards, post cards and assorted greeting card baskets.

Family to Family Greeting Cards
Card to fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers.  Cards to aunts and uncles grand's and cousins.  Family reunion cards. Graduation day card. Wedding and baby shower cards. Happy anniversary and retirement.  First car, bike, power tool.  Any family sentiment or special day deserves a greeting card to go with it.

Friend To Friend Greeting Cards
To my best friend. Friends forever. New found friends and long time friends. Buddies, pals and chums. Friendship make everyday a memory to cherish.  Remember when greeting cards can brighten the day, excite the heart and deepen a bond. 

Business Greeting Cards
When assistant administrator's day, secretary's day and reception day rolls around treat staff like they are the only personas on earth. Give them a thank you they won’t quickly forget. Live it up with flowers, lunch out and a very special greeting card hand signed by you with words reflecting appreciation.

One company sends out greetings cards on the anniversary of the contract established with each client. Other companies focus on dates of birth. Another company sends out post cards containing seasonal reminders and money saving tips, while others choose some other personal focus.

There's A Greeting Card For Everyone
Greetings are the best medium to express our deepest emotions and greetings. A variety of greeting cards are available for every occasion.  Send greetings to your loved ones, friends, teachers, staff, employer,  employees, neighbor,  lawyer, consultant, doctor, mail person, doorman, nurse, tutor, mentor, coach, professor, mechanic, principal, crossing guard, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, bus driver, accountant, etc.  To order your greeting cards email us at lhh@fimark.net or call 410 323 4202.

How To Shop For The Perfect Gift
There are three keys to finding the perfect gift.
1. Plenty of time
2. Plenty of gas
3. Good knowledge of what the recipient wants

When choosing a gift remember that the rule of thumb is to give them what they want. Avoid choosing a gift merely because you or someone else wants them to have or use it. Have your recipients taste in mind. Think of items that are compatible with that person's lifestyle.

Do your research. Take time to consult with their friends and get advice not only on an item but its quality, brand name and manufacturing. Your recipient like most of us is brand sensitive. Therefore although the product falls in the category of what is liked or needed remember to find out what brand the recipient prefers. Simply ask a friend or relative not only what they'd like but what brand they prefer.

When shopping for a gift it's best to start early, perhaps weeks or months before presentation. Pick up newspapers and magazines articles to familiarize yourself with who's selling what and when. Take note of out-of-season items on sale. Make good use of coupon books and vouchers. By in bulk if you plan on giving the same item to several recipients. Consider how easy it would be to gift-wrap the item. 
To order your greeting cards email us at lhh@fimark.net or call 410 323 4202.
