There are three ways we can create something for your business. Here's a quick overview of the options, feel free to reach out for more details.
Meaningful Designs
Many of my designs are packed full of meaning and if you are looking for a card and/or gift with Switzerland as a location there are lots to choose from. This Swiss Chalet Souvenir on a greeting card is very popular.
For example it has been used by a Swiss-based coach to thank all those who spoke at her online summit.
It has also been used by an International company who hosted the annual conference in Switzerland and wanted to gift something that reminded their fellow colleagues of Switzerland.
Get in touch with details of your Swiss-based event and I can suggest a suitable design.
Dynamic Designs
There are a number of my designs which I can personalise and adapt to include your logo, message etc.
This card was adapted for a coaching programme called the "Grow Mastermind" as the flowers represented the growth element of the programmed perfectly. The card was personalised with each participants name.
Bespoke Service
Something designed with your business values, mission and aim in mind.
This can be a resin decoration, vinyl stickers, key-chains, greeting card or a magnetic bookmark.
To the left is a star decoration created for a brewery in France who had a really fun brand based around stars.
They wanted a Christmas gift for their loyal customers but not something with their logo as they already had branded beer mats, bottle openers etc.
They wanted something more unique and less PR like but still in keeping with their branding.
I created these star decorations as a gift of appreciation, kept the brand colours and only made a limited amount of them.
There are many ways to connect with your clients, please get in touch to discuss ideas and get a quote.
