Why You Should Be Sending Business Christmas Cards

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Before the Halloween decorations even come down, Christmas displays are going up. As a business, you may be thinking about corporate parties, client gifts or holiday cards. You do send cards to your clients, don’t you? It’s a subtle, yet inexpensive, method of name recognition. Sending a card shows your clients that you value the relationship and recognize their importance to your business.

• Don’t email your holiday greeting. A traditional printed card will have more impact and leave a greater impression. An emailed card might wind up in the spam filter.
• Don’t go cheap. If you can afford it, have a custom card designed that reflects your values and business brand.
• Not everyone celebrates Christmas. A generic holiday message such as Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings may be more appropriate.
• Include a short handwritten message to add a personal touch. Also, hand address the envelope. Your holiday card should not look like a mass mailing.
• Send the card to your client’s business address unless you know the client socially.
• Send your card early in the season. Your client may be on vacation during the last weeks of December.

“Unlike the cards we mail to loved ones, greetings we send for business are generally used for two purposes: as a thank-you to individuals at other companies with whom we have an ongoing relationship, or as a means of staying on the radar of an existing, former or prospective client,” says manners expert Thomas P. Farley
