Why are personalised cards so popular?

In recent years personalised gifts and cards have emerged as something of a growth industry, to the point where companies exist entirely to provide a choice of personalised gifts and cards for people – such as Getting Personal. The increasing popularity of personalised cards may seem strange at first as, to a certain extent, cards in particular have always been customised, as people write their own personal messages within them before sending them, but personalised cards offer this potential for individually-tailored cards taken one step further, by giving the sense that a card has actually been designed with the recipient specifically in mind – rather than simply customised by the sender after purchasing it. It is likely that the growth in personalised gifts and cards is a mark of our growing individuality and the sense that traditional cards can be a little mass-produced and impersonal – even when we have written our own messages inside them. 

Furthermore it is possible to get personalised gifts and cards for any conceivable occasion or event, from birthdays and Christmas, to wedding anniversaries and for the successful completion of exams, meaning that you can secure a card tailored specifically to the recipient, whatever the card is designed to acknowledge. This flexibility is also the case when it comes to the content of the cards, as you can buy personalised cards with messages that are amusing, risqué, romantic or ones which have music or sports related designs, meaning that it should be possible to find a personalised card to suit your intended recipient – whatever occasion you are sending it to mark, and whatever their particular personality and interests are. 

The comprehensive nature of the personalised cards and gifts now offered by those companies specialising in this area, is probably another significant reason for the increasing popularity of them. It is so easy for people to find a unique card which suits the person they are sending it to and it shows a bit more extra effort has gone into the creation of the card.
