1. The title/slogan or quotation – First you have the title, slogan or opening quotation for the thank you card. This is typically in the cover, along with graphics if the design calls for it. This can be something as simple as a message that reads "for a very generous person" or it may be a profound quotation that related to the feeling of gratitude.

Whatever the case, that initial title or slogan will set the mood for the custom thank you card. It sets how sincere one is and establishes that proper feeling that you want the reader to feel. This is a crucial prelude in your thank you cards that you must not eliminate.
2. The initial greeting – Next you have that initial greeting. This will set the style of your thank you message. This helps people figure out if the thank you card is formal, or if it is more casual or creative. From that formal greeting with full professional titles or maybe a casual greeting that says something like "hey!", it can really vary depending on the style that you want to establish. This is an important thing to include in your thank you message, especially for commercial type thank you cards so that you can project exactly the image that you want to your readers.
3. The personal message – After the greeting we have the personal thank you message. This should be written sincerely and with the utmost feeling of gratitude. If possible, try to personalize it with variable text areas where specific names and messages can be customized per print using digital printing methods.
Of course, do not be overlong in this. A long thank you message is a bad one. Just tell your message with the best of words in the most normal style. Do not draw this out filling blanks. The more real, natural and personal the message is, the more effective your thank you cards should be.
4. The signature – essential for commercial type thank you cards is the signature. Besides your own signature after the message, your business or project must also be included as part of the signature. So it is basically your name, position and the name of your company or project. A logo might also be good to insert if you want. This adds that stamp of real authority in your thank you cards, making it as an official statement towards readers.
5. Contact information – Finally, it is important that you also have contact information with your commercial thank you cards. Much like a business card, your thank you cards are tools for relationship marketing. Having all those crucial numbers and email addresses allows people to have a chance to contact you directly for other issues or concerns. This can open extra opportunities for you. Opportunities that would not have been there if you have not added information into your own thank you cards.
Good! Use this as a content guide for your commercial thank you cards. Believe me, you won't regret having all these specific elements in your custom thank you messages.
