Business Christmas Card Do’s & Do Not’s
If you haven’t glanced at a calendar lately, you might want to do so. We’re officially into the 12 Days of Christmas, if you choose to celebrate that kind of thing, and the countdown ha begun for one of the biggest holiday’s of year. No matter what you celebrate this time of year, there’s a pretty good chance your customers are expecting a holiday card of some sort, and being in the business card business, we thought you could use a few hints and tips on what to do, and what not to do this time around.
Obviously there’s some sort of guidelines as to what should be avoided, and what should be highlighted. We just so happened to find an article packed with tips on all the things you should know when it comes to handing out, sending out and giving out holiday cards to your customers this tricky time of year. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- “Send only business Christmas cards of high quality. Quality shows and the quality of the Christmas card reflects on the sender. Sending cheap Christmas cards will make you look cheap. Buy the best Christmas cards you can afford.
- You should only send handmade Christmas cards if you are an artist. For the rest of us, sending handmade business Christmas cards only makes us look inept or too cheap to buy Christmas cards.
- Send only business Christmas cards that are tasteful. You may think the Christmas card with a naked Santa is hilarious, but this is not the time to try and find out whether your client has a sense of humour. Stick with traditional themes and messages to make the best impression.
- Be aware of your clients’ religious beliefs. Not everyone celebrates Christmas. If you know that a client or customer has different religious beliefs, choose and send a holiday card appropriate to the client’s beliefs, or choose and send a holiday card with a more generic holiday theme and message, such as “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings”.
- Besides signing your name inside the business Christmas card, hand-write a brief personal message. Don’t just write something such as “Happy Holidays” or “Merry Christmas” above your signature; try to extend and personalize the message. For instance, you might write, “Hope 2006 is the best year ever for you and your family, Joe!” “
Five great ideas, five things to keep in mind! The countdown has begun, if you need any help finding the right cards, business or holiday, head over to OvernightPrints.com and you’ll be out in no time, with money to spare!
