Business Holiday Greeting Card
From LoveToKnow Business
Sending business holiday greeting cards is an excellent way to let your clients know that you appreciate their business.
Choosing Business Holiday Cards
It's essential to select an appropriate design and message for the holiday greeting cards you send on behalf of your business. Choosing business holiday greeting cards isn't the same as choosing personal cards to send to friends and relatives. Religious, sentimental, and cutesy images might be acceptable for personal seasonal greeting cards, but they are not suitable for business cards.
When selecting business greeting cards to send to company clients, it's important to stay focused on the fact that the design and terminology you choose must send the right message. The design should be attractive, simple, and professional. Keep in mind that your customers likely come from many different types of backgrounds. Select cards with a message that is likely to appeal to all clients, no matter how diverse your group of customers might be.
Where to Find Business Holiday Greeting Cards
It's not hard to find holiday greeting cards for businesses. Many retailers carry lines of greeting cards ideal for company use. Office products stores such as Office Depot, Office Max, and Staples carry holiday cards designed with the needs of business customers in mind. You may also find appropriate greeting cards at Target, Wal Mart, or even your local Hallmark store.
When shopping for business holiday greeting cards, you'll want to decide whether or not you plan to sign the cards yourself or have your company's name and an appropriate greeting pre-printed on the cards. If you'd like to send greeting cards that are imprinted with your company's name, you may need to order them from a local printing company or from an online business papers retailer, such as Cards Direct or Design Crafters.
Many businesses order personalized cards that have the company name preprinted beneath the imprinted holiday greeting. This option allows you to send out cards as is, or to personalize them. When you order imprinted holiday greeting cards, it's easy to personalize them by having every member of your team sign his or her name to each cards.
How to Send Business Greeting Cards
When deciding how to send your company's holiday greeting cards, it's important to consider the message you want to send. Many companies opt to hand-address each envelope, to give each card a personal touch. Others, particularly those with large client lists, choose to print addresses directly on the envelopes or create mailing labels that can quickly and easily be adhered to the envelopes.
Keep in mind that if you'll be sending more than 200 cards and if you don't hand address the envelopes, you can send your cards using a bulk mail rate. If you're sending a large number of greeting cards, using bulk mail can result in a significant financial savings. However, bulk mail takes a little longer to arrive than first-class mail, so be sure to send your cards early.
Details about the benefits of using bulk mail can be found on the U.S. Postal Service website. If you want to enjoy the savings of bulk mail but don't know how, or don't have the time to properly sort bulk mail, consider using a local business service provider, such as an AIM Mail Center.
