Reach Out to Your Sphere This Holiday Season

If you send holiday greetings to clients every year and haven’t even had time to think about them this year, time’s a-wastin’!

Although it’s still not too late to design and print your own greeting, you may opt for our nice array of holiday postcards.

Even if you don’t typically send greetings, if you hold an annual charity program or something similar, let folks know about it, while simultaneously reinforcing your brand into their awareness.

Thinking of sending email greeting?

Please. Don’t. Do. That.

Sure, it’s cheap and easy. But, email greetings during the holidays most likely won’t even be opened. They might also:

If an email holiday greeting is the best you can do, consider not sending greetings at all.

Use the good old U.S. Postal service or, deliver your card in person. Either of these methods is far more personal than a dashed-off email with a greeting cut and pasted from the internet.

Words, words, words

What will you say?

“Never mention ‘Christmas,’ ‘Hanukkah,’ or any other particular holiday,” says one online writer.

She states it’s important to be inclusive of everyone and warns not to alienate anyone.

Overall, it’s probably not a bad idea. But if you have folks in your sphere that you know, without a doubt, celebrate one of the religious holidays, a card specific to them would not only be appreciated, but they’ll know that you remembered them.

Dig deep for enough cash to buy a few different cards or postcards for these leads, former clients, or those in your sphere. Be daring and actually wish them a Merry Christmas (December 25) or Happy Hanukkah (which begins the evening of November 28, 2021, and ends on December 6, 2021).

Here’s an even better idea

Some people find Hanukkah cards offputting. Judith Martin, aka Miss Manners, calls them “insensitive,”.

So, consider skipping the winter holiday greetings and sending New Year cards instead. Not only will you avoid offending anyone in your sphere but your cards will arrive when the mailbox isn’t crammed full of other cards.
