Stay Cards: the collectible goodbye

When I want an update to feel more like a keepsake, I choose Stay Card before I send. Houndtrust uses the photo, my reviewed note, and my business name to make the card. A few Stay Cards can become a pack the owner opens in their browser. The one above is Poppy’s. Go ahead and open it. That’s what a client sees when I choose this style.

I built this option for the goodbyes that deserve a little extra personality. A Simple Update keeps the photo and note clean and straightforward. A Stay Card adds the reveal, the pull number, and a design the owner can save or share. Both start with the same update that I review before sending.

Each card also rolls a pull number from 1 to 99 the moment I send it. Rare pulls turn the card gold, and a 1-in-500 Best in Show goes full holo. It’s pure delight and nothing else: the pull is always free to your client, it never costs anything, and it’s never tied to a booking, a payment, or anything anyone can buy. It’s just the little surprise that makes people want to open the next one.

Each Stay Card carries a quiet “Made with Houndtrust,” so when a client shares Poppy’s pack, the next dog owner sees where it came from. That’s the whole idea: do great work, send it as something worth keeping, and let the goodbye do a little of your growing for you.
