Store Spotlight: Kersten Cards

Written by Miva | May 15, 2009

This week’s Store Spotlight has zeroed in on Kersten Cards.  With Mother’s Day behind us and Father’s Day on the horizon, there’s no better time to check out the numerous holiday and greeting cards found at Kerstencards.com.  Focusing on the lighter side of life, these cards are a fantastic way to show your love and appreciation for those special people in your life.

The Kersten brothers, Rick and Pete, knew they wanted to be artists as children.  Influenced by Walt Disney and his movies, the brothers developed their comedic and creative sensibilities in that tradition.  They have been successful in every artistic avenue they have traversed, from animation to sculpting, but lately have been devoting their talents to their line of greeting cards.  Their zest for life can be found in each card they design.  The Kerstens have created a tradition of holiday and greeting cards infused with their humorous nature.

Kersten Cards are meant to be personalized.  When you purchase a card you’re given the option to create the inside text.  Your choices are nearly limitless, from whatever anecdote or memory you wish to share, to the font and color of the script.  If you’re buying cards for your company, logos and signatures can easily be accommodated into the design.  All cards are 5×7, cut from premium heavy paper stock, with a photo glossy front and a matte finish inside.

Graduation season is upon us.  At Kersten Cards you can find a humorous way to acknowledge your son or niece’s important day.  If you’re the graduate, there are thank you cards that will show your appreciation and concurrently give the card’s receiver a smile.  For Father’s Day, let your dad or grandpa know how much you care with a card that gives them a good ribbing.  Maybe you’re having a Fourth of July party, Kersten greeting cards have several ways to announce the jaunty and lighthearted bar-be-que you’re throwing.  Near the beginning of the holiday season, 50 new Christmas card designs are released.  These cards are ideal for letting everyone in your life know how your family is doing.  The site also keeps a myriad of address return labels in stock to make paying those bills less stringent. Whatever the occasion Kersten Cards have the perfect design for you.

Matt Kersten, owner of Kersten Cards and Stonehouse Collection, understands the needs of a flexible website.  He credits Miva Merchant as “The perfect fit for my business.  Our site deals with variety of personalization and needs a shopping cart software that is versatile.  This, and the Miva Merchant community, has been ideal for our store’s needs.”
