NOTE FROM SANDY: This is great news for card senders! Now we’ll have even more features to use in designing our cards. The article mentions ’screen shots’ which I did not add here.
“Sending Cards Corporate Blog
OK, maybe “leaked” isn’t the correct term since we’re releasing these images with permission from management, but this is the first time the general public will have access to screenshots of the new card editor.
For those of you who don’t know, the card catalog interface and the new card editor have been re-done, tested, and we’d like to announce a big Card Editor Release Party! We’ve been spreading the word that the new editor will launch at the beginning of 2009, and we hope you’ll stay tuned for details so you can attend via your computer. We also want to highlight some of the new features that you’ll have access to in the near future:
The new card catalog will display more cards per page for quicker searches, includes a large pop-up view of the front and inside of cards for a detailed close-up before making your selection, and other features to help simplify your search for the perfect card!
The editor itself features an attractive, easy-to-use interface and offers a larger font selection, the ability to change the size, color, and alignment of individual text blocks instead of being applied to the entire card, and a built-in spell check to ensure your cards are pristine and professional.
Another exciting feature that we know many of you have been dying to use is the new versatility of the personal signature. In the new card editor, you’ll be able to add text after signatures (for all you “P.S.” people) and can change the size, color, and alignment of your signature just like any other block of text.
Adding pictures to your cards will be easier than ever. You can add anything from a full-bleed image across the card as we did in the screenshot above or you can select from other arrangements and add in your images. We’ll even let you know the image quality of photos so you’ll know if an image is well-suited for printing or not.
The recipient page now looks just like an envelope to remind you that your card (or cards) are being stuffed, stamped, and mailed for you. Also, one of the most exciting features with the new card editor is how we’ve streamlined the process of sending a single card to multiple recipients. You won’t need to create a campaign card any longer, but can search through your contacts and simply put a “check” next to those whom you’d like to send your card.
Our final shot features the confirmation screen, where you’ll find the “Send Card” button. It will give you a detailed breakdown of the points and postage you’ll be using and even allows you to add points or postage on the spot so you don’t have to lose your work just because you forgot to add funds, and all this in the name of making your card sending experience as easy as we can. After all, our system is all about convenience.
Now this brings us back to the New Card Editor Release Party we’ll be hosting in 2009, which you can attend online. It will be broadcasted LIVE, here at the home office in Salt Lake City, and we need YOU to spread the word to your organization.
