FAQs About Greeting Cards for Banks & Credit Unions

Can sending business greeting cards replace human interactions with banking employees?

As many banking and credit union relationships become more digitally focused, it is harder to prove to customers that you are a living, breathing group of people who truly care about the banking customer experience. There is no replacement for a human being, but Hallmark cards are an excellent way to demonstrate the humanness of your credit union marketing. Why? Because Hallmark cards are a physical presence that brings the excitement and anticipation of receiving a card in the mail. Hallmark has spent the last 100 years building the impact that receiving a Hallmark card has on the recipient. Banks and credit unions can take advantage of this to create human moments in the banking experience from welcome cards to heartfelt thanks for the referral.

When should my organization explore a corporate program with Hallmark Business Connections?

When it comes to buying business greeting cards, a corporate solution will best serve banks and credit unions with lots of employees and locations who need to order or send cards or if you want to send greeting cards to your entire customer or member base.
