While the majority of the internet was debating over a color of a dress, the Greenvelope.com team has had a busy past couple of months, both creating new functionalities and upgrading existing features. While we are constantly trying to make your experience better, we’d love to take this opportunity to introduce five new and improved account features:
As a company that was founded on the values and promise of giving back, we are truly honored when we are able to bring awareness and help foster the success of the noble causes of our incredible nonprofit and business partners. Today’s #FeatureFriday is about an amazing charity that provides empowerment, hope, and health, and the ways that they connect with their advocates, donors, and supporters.
Especially for startups and entrepreneurs, it can feel like there are never enough hours in the day to finish the work that needs to be done. For new businesses starting out, or for anyone trying to get more out of their day, achieving efficiency is key. Here are a couple of unsung productivity tips as told by Greenvelope.com founder, Sam Franklin.
Throughout history, the greatest and most memorable brands have successfully utilized imagery, advertising, and product design to create a detailed brand image in the minds of consumers. Harley Davidson, Apple, Disney… they all have very distinct emotions and personalities attached to them. In the same way, event planners are expected to create an image, a brand, and an idea around an event that goes beyond one night: an experience that builds on all the senses and resonates with guests before, during, and after the event itself. More than just a passing fad, experiential marketing and creating full guest experiences is at the core of the current event industry. It isn’t just a “thing”… it is everything.
With businesses in every industry utilizing events to connect and build relationships with their clients and networks, how do you make your event stand out? Industry experts weigh in on their top tips for turning an average event into an epic experience.
In this new day and age, more and more companies are seeking to be eco-conscious. While not everybody can install solar power and other expensive gadgets, there are earth-friendly (and often money-saving) things we can all do! Upcycling is the act of reusing discarded or recycled material, and it’s a great way to not only stay green, but also save money and show your creative side! Without further ado, here are some practical and decorative ways you and your team can upcycle in the office.
Especially during the holiday season, getting your message in front of your audience is an uphill battle. With the onslaught of seasonal advertisements and promotions that bombard consumers from October through December, it isn’t surprising that seasonal email marketing often translates into white noise and wasted marketing dollars.
But what does that mean? That you should give up on seasonal promotions? Quite the opposite, actually. Instead of falling into a slump or getting lost in the crowd, take a page out of the Tipsy Elves playbook and implement a little bit of creativity to truly stand out in the inbox.
When designing their holiday email campaign, this one hits the mark in three important ways: 1. Surprising 2. Funny 3. Valuable
The holiday season is a time of celebration, a time to give thanks for the many blessings, cherished memories, and significant people in our lives. Homes fill with the familiar scent of gingersnap cookies rising in the oven, mornings are spent snuggled in warm blankets with mugs of hot coffee, and days are filled with anticipation as the holidays move ever closer. But for kids in foster care, the holidays can be a difficult time, many of whom face the season without parents, relatives, or siblings. Their holiday season is not often filled with the warmth and joyous anticipation familiar to many of us, but instead is often etched with uncertainty as to whether there will be even a single present with their name on the tag. That is why this holiday season, Greenvelope.com is dedicating 5% of all purchases made through December 20th to help give foster kids a brighter holiday.
There are so many communities of socially and environmentally responsible businesses that constantly inspire us, from our 1% for the Planet community and beyond. We are thrilled to be able to advocate for other businesses focused on introducing eco-friendly thinking and sustainable practices to their respective industries. One business in particular that has been remarkable in transforming it’s industry in a sustainable manner is Barnes & Noble College Booksellers, Inc.
Greenvelope.com was founded in 2008 as a weddings-only product dedicated to providing couples with a premium digital stationery experience. Since then, we have steadily been adding new features, improving existing features on our website, and tailoring our offerings to match our clients’ needs. What we soon realized was that while customers were coming to Greenvelope.com for the beautiful designs, they were staying for the premium event management functionality. Thus began the fruitful journey of evolving from a wedding-specific website to becoming a premier international digital correspondence and event management solution for you, your next door neighbor, that local business down the street, as well as multinational corporations all over the globe. While this journey is never over, with the launch of our new ticketing, donation collection, and integrated event management services, we are thrilled to take this time to solve 4 event planning and management problems for both the professional and everyday event planner.
From humble beginnings as a weddings-only product in a university dorm room to becoming an international digital correspondence and event marketing solution, Greenvelope.com is, and always has been, dedicated to giving back to our local and global communities. Through the integration of ticketing, registration, and donations alongside our trademark elegant experience, we aim to make it easy for local businesses and nonprofits to standout and get results.
Local businesses and nonprofits are the heart and soul of our communities: helping create opportunities, fueling growth and stimulating economic improvement. This is made possible by being able to connect with advocates, customers, donors, and community members in a meaningful way to build relationships and create value. Greenvelope is here to provide an elegant and eco-friendly way to achieve these goals with ease.
Through our brand new fully-integrated service, you can manage all aspects of your event in one easy-to-use, streamlined system offering:
