Check Ordering Companies
How Personal Check Companies Became a Necessity and Their Role Today
According to many history books, bank checks first became popular in Holland during the 1500’s. Many people were justifiably skeptical at the idea of trading in their hard earned money for a slip of paper, but by the end of the seventeenth century bank checks were a common method of payment. The first printed bank checks can be traced back to a British banker named Lawrence Childs in 1762; he is believed to be the first person to place serial numbers on the bank checks in order to keep track of them. The word “check” also began in England because it was said the serial numbers were used to keep a “check” on the paper.
With a rich and long background, it is no surprise that checking account holders all over the world still use bank checks as a viable means of payment; But like everything else, over the years people have come up with ways to make even the most mundane acts, like writing bank checks, a competition to see who has the most unique, high quality, merchandise. The competition created by checking account holders constant desire to one up each other has allowed companies to grow and expand with creative ideas like personalized checks.
What could not be fathomed a hundred years ago is now a growing, thriving market for checking account holders today. Every image from fluffy poodles, to majestic labs, to little girls with yellow rain boots and red umbrellas, has been introduced to the public and as if overnight, bank checks have become a series of fashion statements. As always with fashion, every new trend brings with it ambitious, soon to be multi-million dollar, companies eager to swoop in and give their consumers exactly what they are asking for.
Online shopping has also boosted personal check companies immensely. Now checking account holders are not required to shop in a store; all they need is access to a computer, active internet, and some form of payment system. The simple ordering process online, with either a credit card, debit card, or other electronic form of payment, allows checking account holders to have their personalized checks as early as the next day. This quick and easy process appeals to the fast paced life of the average checking account holder. And if convenience were not enough of a selling point, companies now do special orders as well. For a few dollars extra, a checking account holder can have any picture or symbol they want on their bank checks. It has become as simple as clicking on one of the countless websites devoted to adorable cats in boots, downloading a picture, and submitting an order for personal checks with the desired image.
Even though personal bank checks are currently in high demand, companies are always looking for the next design or proposal that will send them soaring above their competitors. Because of this, many personal check companies have now turned to matching accessories in order to reach a wider variety of consumers.
• Check Registers
What started out a practical way to monitor, organize, and track checking account holders finances, has now become another fun and amusing way to accessorize pocketbooks. Dates, check codes, descriptions, withdraws, deposits, and balances don’t seem quite so daunting when there is a furry, little animal staring up from the paper with giant, heart melting eyes. Checkbook balancing will most likely always be an issue for many people, but with a little help in the cosmetic department, companies have found ways to entice checking account holders to love their transaction register despite their fiscal grievances.
• Checkbook Covers
Though not quite as effective as an indestructible phone case, checkbook covers can serve to keep checking account holder’s checkbooks is pristine condition. However, not many checking account holders seem to be extremely worried about keeping their checkbook looking immaculate; so the more realistic purpose of a checkbook cover is decoration and personalization. Checkbook covers allow checking account holders to explore a wide variety of checkbook themes: Universities, sports, wildlife, movie stars, national monuments, etc. If none of these themes appeal to a checking account holder, checkbook covers can also give them another opportunity to utilize that long sought after picture they found online for their bank checks, in yet another aspect of their daily fiscal life.
• Sheeted Labels
Sheeted labels are a fun way to personalize checking account holders envelopes while simultaneously hiding bad hand writing. With options like color, size, and font, address labels can be customized to fit any individual’s style. Address labels are also a great way to keep invitations to important events: weddings, bridal showers, birthdays, super bowl parties, etc… looking neat and professional. Also, address labels can be specialized for different events; for example, wedding bells are often printed on address labels intended for wedding guests. This can be a fun way to spruce up a boring envelope.
• Pre-inked Stamps
Pre-inked stamps are great for business and personal life. Paid in full, returned, and original are common stock stamp words or phrases that allow checking account holders to keep documents organized. Return address stamps are one of the simplest but most useful pre-inked stamps a checking account holder can have in their arsenal of supplies; by having their address details readily available in a stamp, Checking account holders can save an immense amount of valuable time that would have otherwise been spent writing their information by hand.
Dating back hundreds of years ago, bank checks and personal check companies have paved the way for checking account holders to have the opportunity to be as creative, inspirational, and professional as they wish to be in their fiscal life.
