5 Holiday Card Sending Tips
- Be sure you send yourself a copy of your Christmas or Holiday card so you can proofread it for any typos before you send it out to your entire list.
- Plan to get your entire campaign out before December 15th if you want your cards to arrive before the 25th. I would even go so far as to say, get your cards out by December 5th.
- Now is a great time to start compiling your list and checking for correct addresses. Email your facebook contacts to get their snail mail addresses. Perhaps you’ve connected with people from your past this year. Maybe you’ve made new contacts that you don’t otherwise communicate with. Also, if you’ve moved this year, like I have, reaching out to collect and verify addresses will most likely give you an opportunity to update those that give you their addresses.
- Great Thanksgiving card tip: Put a favorite recipe on one of the panels of your campaign card. (As a side note, if you are planning on sending Thanksgiving cards, make sure to get them out this week. Thanksgiving is already one week from Thursday!)
- Be sure to keep your camera with you or, if you have an adequate camera phone, keep it handy when at holiday parties or family functions so you capture the festivities and send those pictures in a card as a great sentimental keepsake.
Happy card sending!
