Tips for sending business holiday cards

  • Be sure to include your logo and a custom message that reflects your brand personality.
  • Don’t go digital. We all receive tons of promotional emails every day so your holiday greeting could just get lost in the clutter. Sending a card by mail the old-fashioned way shows more sentiment and is simply more effective.
  • Have staff sign the card or create digital signatures to print inside the cards. This shows that attention was paid to each card and will make them more personal.
  • Order as far in advance (6-8 weeks) so you can make sure you can get all the cards signed and addressed in time to get them in the mail by Dec 10th.
  • Avoid card designs that are religious or say Christmas. Not everyone celebrates the same holiday, so seasonal greetings or holiday wishes are more appropriate.
  • Include a small gift or token of appreciation if you can. Seed paper holiday ornaments are a great eco-friendly addition to your holiday cards.
