Finding the right words to say "Happy Birthday," "Merry Christmas" or "I’m sorry" in a business greeting card can be difficult, but it’s even more challenging when you’re trying to find the right words in a different language. Over 41 million people in the United States speak Spanish, making it the most popular foreign language used in the United States. Further, the estimated number of Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States is over 322,000. These individuals who value their Hispanic heritage and traditions typically rely on the VIDA card collection—cards that ring true to Hispanic customers and employees. With bold colors, iconic images and warm wishes all written in Spanish, the VIDA line from Hallmark Business Connections caters to Hispanic-owned businesses and individuals who work with Spanish-speaking individuals. While choosing your Spanish card may be simple, writing a personal message to coincide with the card can be a big hurdle. You may be asking yourself—what do I write? Do I write it in Spanish? How do I know whether or not I’m saying the right thing? Question no more. Hallmark Business Connections is here with 30 Spanish card messages that you can use for your business greetings. Use any of the ideas below (and don’t worry—we included translations!).
