\n<\/strong>Does your customer have new products coming in the New Year? Trading cards are a fun way to preview those products and cut through the increase in marketing during the holiday season. Include a photograph of the product and the high-level details about that product to provide a preview that packs a punch.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Is your customer hosting a \u201cmeet Santa\u201d event at their retail location? Consider trading cards as a fun giveaway item for kids. This is an especially good fit for stores that specialize in sports and games, but it could be a fun addition to any retail location.<\/p>\n
\nIf your customer is looking for a lightweight piece to sell for their holiday fundraisers or a fun \u201cthank you\u201d piece to send to donors after a successful holiday fundraiser, trading cards can be a great fit. Instead of player statistics, trading cards can also be created to highlight different aspects of a nonprofit\u2019s mission, different nonprofit employees, and more. They could also be printed with the statistics of a nonprofit\u2019s 2019 activities, the results of holiday fundraisers, and more.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Whether creating blank wish list cards or highlighting the favorite new products that could make great holiday gifts, a trading card makes an excellent canvas for a pocket-sized checklist. Use one side of the card to highlight what store provided the checklist and the other to create the checklist itself.<\/p>\n
\nPrinted with artwork that matches your customer\u2019s event d\u00e9cor or their branding, trading cards could be a fun, creative ticket option for their holiday event. For company events, they should consider including an employee photo for the front.<\/p>\n
