Christmas Cards

Christmas Cards

Postby einnovations » 23 Nov 2009, 16:10

OK, some opionions wanted ...

To send out Christmas cards or not? (and I mean the proper stamp on envelope cards, not the e-card variety).

A few years ago we didn't bother and I'm sure our business suffered a bit (although how can one tell really?)

What's the feeling ... are they a nice gesture or are they a definate no-no in todays cost and environmentally concious world?

Thanks all.

Regards,


David

Not decided what I am doing about cards this year, should I send them? Then again I am a VA so perhaps a charity email card would be more appropriate.

Thanks all,

Yeah, I think I'll go for it. To me, much as I subscribe to the "don't print this unless you have to" agenda I do think that it's an opportunity to show existing clients that you're there and to remind past clients that you still exist.

Now, to find some suitable webby cards :)

Thanks again all.

Regards,

Sending out Christmas cards to your clients is a must, such a nice, easy little marketing reminder that you are there and that you appreciate their business. Personally I think e-cards are a no no, they just aren't personal, besides people, including me, love having those snow scenes around the office.
