Holiday Card Etiquette for Businesses

Happy Holidays!!!

As business owners, we like to show our clients we appreciate their business and value them as a loyal customer. Sending our holiday cards is just another way of showing them just that. It also plants our business name in their heads. There are certain etiquette guidelines to follow as with everything else. Here are a few tips to use this holiday season:

• DON'T WAIT- be sure to order your cards early and have them in the mail as quickly as possible. 
• CHOOSE A QUALITY CARD- do not pick the least expensive option. Choose a card that the recipient will remember and enjoy.
• DON'T INADVERTENTLY OFFEND THE RECIPIENT- in you are unsure if the recipient celebrates Christmas, send a "Happy Holidays" card in place of Merry Christmas. 
• HANDWRITE- Hand write your cards and custom print your name. It will not look as professional but it will give the card a personal touch that the recipient will enjoy. 
• PURCHASE A HOLIDAY STAMP- this gives the card something extra
• WRITE A PERSONAL MESSAGE- this shows the recipient you value them on a personal level  and that you are celebrating your business relationship rather than mandatorily sending a mass mail. 

These are just a few ideas to keep in minds when sending out greeting cards to the recipients on your mailing list. A few personal touches can go a long way! Happy Holidays from SERVPRO of North Knoxville!!!
