  • Prove a Brief Message: For this you need to be very selective about the message you want to put inside your envelope. Since the message quantity in an envelope is very concise, hence the quality of the message matters a lot. If the envelope is for marketing purpose then the message can be something like “free gift vouchers inside” or “your loan application is now available” written using some highlighted texts. Such texts give an idea to the readers as to what kind of text could be inside.
  • Color Envelopes: In order to spread your messages to a wide section of people, different color envelopes are a great idea. Avoid using the conventional white envelopes as they are very monotonous to see. Colored envelopes are frequently available in market and are also very trendy.
