Each day hundreds of people use Cardly to send birthday cards to their loved ones no matter where they might be around the world. We love helping people stay connected in a meaningful and personal way with our unique greeting cards and local printing for fast delivery. We're also really excited to be able to help businesses celebrate their employees with customised birthday card campaigns, delivering personalised birthday messages to team members anywhere in the world.
With more teams working remotely than ever before and companies looking to leverage a global recruitment pool, staying connected can be challenging even at the best of times. Utilising a contact database within your business portal, you can create and maintain a centralised list of your employees and their birthdays securely and have cards automatically built and sent at the right time throughout the year. Setting this up is a breeze and takes very little time, however the impact of receiving a personalised card on a birthday, work anniversary or to congratulate a team for a job well done can be enormous.

Creating a great employee birthday card campaign starts with amazing artwork. Cardly supports multiple ways of finding artwork, from creating your own unique, on-brand imagery to selecting from our vast range of incredible independent artist designs, we’re sure you’ll find the perfect image. Best of all, you can switch between these options at any time or use a combination of them for different purposes!
Upload Custom Designs
Truly personalise your birthday or
anniversary campaign by uploading your own design, tailored exactly to
your company’s design. Full requirements for artwork can be downloaded
from your portal and provided to your designers to create something
unique to you.
Use Royalty-Free Artwork
Cardly provides
business customers with a range of royalty-free card designs to help
keep your campaign costs down. Simply browse the range, add your
preferred artwork to your library and you’re good to go.
Amazing, Independent Artist Designs
Finally,
our full range of community generated content from our talented artists
is available for use as well. These are slightly more expensive than
providing your own artwork as we need to pay our artists for their
amazing work – but if you find a design you love, it’s more than worth
it!
With your designs in hand, now you get to have some real fun creating the right message. Jump in to the Cardly template builder and write the perfect birthday message – even include multiple messages with unique styles from different team members if it suits!
Our template builder is an amazing, flexible tool that will let you create a highly personalised design unique to your company and purpose. Select the right style, colour and size, add messages from different people in their own unique styles and pick how messy you want your handwriting to be. Sprinkle in a few doodles in - and maybe a custom signature - and you’ll have an amazing design that’s yours and yours alone.
The true power in templates, however, comes from including variable fields to help truly personalise messages to individual recipients. Add variables for someone’s first name, department, years employed or anything else you might need. When we build individual cards we’ll merge your recipient’s details into the right spots, using the same writing style as the rest of the text around it create the perfect, individual message.
From one template you can then send hundreds or
thousands of cards and we’ll handle all of the layout, data management
and postage for you. Imagine the number of hours and hand cramps you’ll
save!
Finally, another powerful feature to help simplify management of your birthday card campaign is Cardly’s contact lists. With contact lists you can create a centralised store of information to merge with your template and we’ll use this to automatically send out birthday cards at the right time.
Better yet, one contact list can help manage multiple different campaigns – send birthday wishes and work anniversary notes with the same list! On top of this we’ve also designed contact lists to help simplify removing old contacts and adding new ones – we get people move on and fresh faces join teams all the time. Simply upload your new contact data over the top of your old contact list and we’ll take care of the rest!
Finally, automation rules can help
drive real power in your campaigns – ensure no work anniversary gets the
same card two years in a row by setting up different rules for
different years. Send an amazing floral design for a first anniversary,
then that awesome bear card for year two!
We’re looking forward to helping you keep connected with your team for their birthdays throughout the year, no matter where they might be in the world. We dispatch daily from Australia, the United States, United Kingdom and Canada to more than 50 countries and we’ll make sure each card is scheduled to be created and sent to arrive on time.
If you’re ready to get started, head on over to our business page and request your free sample. We’ll create your personalised business portal and you can create your first incredible campaign right away!
