When was the last time you sent a personalised Christmas card to family and friends? Do you still remember those days when an assortment of envelopes of red, green, and gold arrive at your mailbox?

With technological advances, most people have gotten used to sending emails, e-cards, GIFS, and text messages during the holiday season, and this has made many forget the tradition of sending Christmas cards to our loved ones and friends. We need to remind ourselves of the thrill of opening envelopes and reading holiday cheers. Even though the power of the internet allows us to send messages in a split second, nothing beats the excitement of opening a card through regular mail and knowing that it came from someone whom you have not communicated with for quite some time.

Celebrating birthdays in the workplace is a great way to bond with your co-workers. Whether it’s your boss, colleague, or client who’s turning a year older, an excellent way to send your wishes is through a greeting card.

While birthday cards are thoughtful and personal, they can also be professional and appropriate to give to someone you work with. In short, they’re a perfect mix of being sweet, fun, and discreet. Not sure what to write? We’ve compiled a few samples of birthday messages to help you greet your co-worker and start a great working relationship!

Technology has made it possible to create and deliver greeting cards online. However, while it’s more convenient to send digitized cards through messaging platforms, nothing beats the traditional way of sending tangible cards. This approach is a manifestation that the recipient is worth the effort and that your relationship matters.

Because greeting cards are all about building relationships, it is essential that you send out personalized cards to nurture your business connections. Whether it is for your loyal customers or business partners, the gesture of sending a holiday card alone will persuade them to purchase your products or make more deals with you.

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, it also means that the holiday season is just around the corner as well. Retailers prepare themselves for their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales to strengthen profits and customer loyalty. However, giving holiday cards to customers and business partners is a simple yet effective strategy that retains your brand to their consciousness.

Here are five ways you can express your thoughts with holiday cards:

It’s important to say ‘thank you’ because someone chose to do something in a certain way. This act of good deed and the time it took to perform the deed need appreciation. In this case, people had a choice not to get you a gift on your special day, but they did. Whether they did it because of getting invited to the party, or that they’re simply good-hearted people, they deserve to be thanked upon.

Pure gratitude and acknowledgement from you will brighten their day and make them believe that their effort was worth the while. Say ‘thank you’ in the best way you can.
