Brea, Calif. (PRWEB) November 28, 2007 -- Avery® Print and Mail Center, the direct mail marketing group of Avery Dennison Office Products, is launching its new greeting card template functionality this month in preparation for the holiday season.

Visitors can select a greeting card template, add a logo and a message, send in their house or personal mailing list, and Avery Print and Mail Center does the rest. Visit www.printandmailcenter.com/holiday

"Avery customers love to do it themselves," says James Johnson, Director, Business Development, for Avery Dennison. "Avery Print and Mail Center was created to help our customers with their printing and mailing needs when it became too big or too much of a hassle to do in-house. These new templates make the creation very simple while still providing an exceptional level of professional presentation that Avery customers expect. We offer quality customer service and even layout services for our guests who need help designing a direct mail piece from scratch. But we wanted to complement our range of services with the do-it-yourself solution."

Avery Print and Mail Center also hosts a blog with direct mail tips, articles and other resources. Visit www.printandmailcenter.com/blog for blog posts on using greeting cards to thank customers. The article, written by direct mail veteran Jerry Heisler, outlines some simple, but unique, ways to thank customers and grow business with greeting cards. Heisler recommends realtors, medical and dental practices, insurance agents, accountants, travel and retail industries use greeting cards to thank customers for attending an open house, forwarding a referral, renewing a policy or meeting for a consultation. Heisler also suggests saying "thank you" to customers at different times, such as Thanksgiving, so that businesses have a better chance of having their message stand out.

"In today's impersonal business environment, you can make your business stand out by taking the time to tell customers how much you appreciate their business. Every business has many opportunities to say "thank you" to customers, and inexpensive greeting cards are a perfect vehicle for doing so," says Heisler.
