Holiday cards for clients

A holiday card they actually read.

In December every client gets a stack of printed cards with stamped signatures. A card written in real pen, with their name and a line meant for them, is the one that stays on the mantel. Upload your client list, pick the holiday template and approve every card before you pay; we write, stamp and mail them all.

01

Every client, their own card

Your message is a starting point. Each client’s card is written for them from it and from what your list says, so no two read the same.

Example · Holiday client card
“Wishing you and the girls a cozy holiday season, Ana. Thank you for making this year such a good one.”

02

Inclusive by default

The holiday template wishes clients a happy holiday season and a good new year, so it suits everyone on your list. Prefer Merry Christmas? Say so in your message.

Example · Holiday client card
“Happy holidays, Sam, and all the best for the new year. Thank you for trusting us this year.”

03

Thank the people behind your year

Send cards to referral partners, vendors and your own team as well as clients, each list with its own message.

Use the referral thank-you template →
Example · Referral thank-you
“Thank you for every client you sent our way this year, Dana. Wishing you a restful holiday.”

04

Thanksgiving instead, or as well

Want to stand out before the December rush? Send a Thanksgiving gratitude card in November, then holiday wishes later.

Use the thanksgiving client gratitude template →
Example · Thanksgiving client gratitude
“This Thanksgiving I’m grateful for clients like you, Tom. Working on your kitchen was a highlight of my year.”

Why a card is worth it

Holiday cards are one of the few times each year you can thank every client at once without selling anything. A handwritten one gets opened, read and kept, which is the whole reason to send it.

Clients notice which businesses take the time. A personal card is a small cost against a client relationship, and once your list is uploaded, the whole send takes minutes.

Because each card is written individually from your message, a list of two hundred clients still reads like two hundred personal notes, not one printed card copied two hundred times.

Questions

The order-by date at the top of this page is worked out from our real writing and mailing times for arrival before Christmas. It is an estimate, so earlier is always safer in December.

Yes. Pick the date you’d like them to arrive, for example the second week of December, and we mail them so they arrive around then.

Yes. On folded cards you can upload your own design with your logo, or keep the painted holiday cover we design for the card.

You see every card in one grid before you pay and can edit any word, rewrite one or take someone off the list. Nothing is charged until you check out.

No. Your list is used only to write, address and mail your cards. We never sell it, share it for marketing or contact your clients ourselves.

Yes. Cards can be mailed to other countries for the extra postage, at cost. Allow more time: international mail takes longer than US mail, especially in December.
