Any Opinions from potential greeting card buyers would be much appreciated

Hi,
I would be interested in opinions from any potential greeting card buyers, not just from me, but in general, do you like cards to already have greetings/verses inside them, or would you prefer them to be blank inside and have a message of your choice added, either writing your own or having someone selling handmade cards such as myself adding it for you, such as in the form of a matching printed insert?
When selecting a card from any source, what is more important to you, the images on the front of the card or what greeting/verse is inside the card, or are they both equally important to you?
Kind regards,
Cynthia

I don't like verse cards and only buy blank, or simple greetings. The card design matters to me. I do buy handmade cards occasionally. Hope that helps!

I choose by image. I don't like a card to be completely blank but prefer the message to be simple (gender-neutral, not too gushy).

I give preference to cards that are recycled and/or some proceeds going to a charity or environmental cause.

I go purely by the picture

I go for picture too, I also like to enter my own wording inside

By that do you mean you like to write your own message inside?

Thank you, everyone, for your opinions so far. They are much appreciated and very valuable.

I would like to ask for an additional opinion on my topic, please.
For the people who go for the image and for cards that are blank inside, would you like them left totally blank or with the addition of a matching printed insert of the main image on the card front that was otherwise left blank for you to write on. For example, a white paper insert that was bordered by a matching image but otherwise blank.

Both sound fine. I'd buy either version if I liked how it was done.

Looks like those inserts had better come with and without text then!
