Surprisingly Unknown to Many: The Unique Appeal of Custom Designed Qoo Cards!
2019.02.15 published
Did you know that you can change the design of QUO cards?
QUO cards are a classic go-to gift, aren't they? Unlike gift certificates that can only be used at department stores, the advantage of QUO cards is that they can be used at everyday, familiar places like convenience stores and drugstores.
However, it seems many people think, "Giving a QUO card feels a bit bland and awkward..." and may be looking for gifts that feel more original or customized.
But wait a minute ♩
Actually, QUO cards can be made original too! ♡
Common yet Unknown???
Did you know that the QUO cards given as prizes in corporate contests can have original designs?
This is a QUO card featuring Meiji chocolate. It looks just like a chocolate bar and is really cute.
Here is a QUO card that I won in a SoftBank contest. It features a drawing of a dad.
As you can see, QUO card designs are not just limited to choosing from existing options at stores; you can also create your own original designs.
It’s easy for individuals to create them too, not just big companies! ♡
[It’s cheaper to order from unofficial sources!] How to order?
Typically, QUO cards are sold at convenience stores and voucher shops, but original design QUO cards can only be ordered online.
The official QUO card shop allows you to create cards starting from five pieces, but if you want an original design for a 500 yen QUO card, the price per card will be 970 yen.
(That's expensive...!!! The standard design is 530 yen...!)
Since it turns out to be very costly, I recommend ordering from another company.
*If you search for "QUO card original" or something similar, you'll find many companies saying "We create original designs for QUO cards!" outside of the official QUO card website.
These are certified companies that QUO card has officially commissioned for printing.
Rest assured, these are not scams.
When you create them through these certified companies instead of the official one, you can keep the cost down to about 650 yen per card.
I want to create a design like this! ♡
Original design QUO cards can be made using pre-wedding or group photos with friends, and they would make wonderful small gifts, travel expenses, or thank-yous for receptions or performances ♡.
They can also be used as prizes for a second-party gathering or as gifts for games at the reception.
"For the top-ranked participants, we have QUO card gifts! Take a good look. This QUO card is not an ordinary QUO card... it actually has the couple's photo on it!"
I bet there would be a buzz in the venue if the host made that announcement!
If you're embarrassed to use your own photos, you could use pictures of your pets or initials sculptures, and that would be nice too*
