a wonderful opportunity to send cards to international clients. A New Year’s Day card sent just after the holiday gives you the opportunity to share your business goals for the new year and wish them the best in theirs. A New Year’s Day card will have the benefit of coming after all the Christmas cards have been taken down. People will open it wondering who was so late in getting out their Christmas cards. Each year businesses around the US have to decide whether or not to send Christmas cards to their clients. Christmas cards are generally accepted as a great way to stay in contact with clients. Christmas cards are often the one contact a client may receive from the business in that year.

But the issue comes up about whether a true Christmas card should be sent or a generic Season’s Greetings holiday card. Many businesses do not want to offend their clients. Unfortunately, some will be offended if a religious card is sent and some will be offended if a generic card is sent. It seems to be a no win situation. It’s important to keep in touch in this minor way but what is the best course to take?

I’d like to offer two optional suggestions. Rather than sending a traditional “Christmas” card, think about another holiday. There are two holidays very near Christmas that both offer a perfect reason to send a card.

Thanksgiving. While this is a US holiday, it does not have any religious associations attached. This would be a great time to send a card. A Thanksgiving card can express your thanks for their continued loyalty to your business. It allows you to really thank them rather than just being one of the crowd. Sending a Thanksgiving card also allows your card to be the first card received to get that extra attention and special notice. If your card is really unique, it will be the first one on the mantle (or desk) and the last one down as well, serving to remind your client of your business each time they look at it.

New Year’s Day. Almost all locations across the globe celebrate this holiday. This is a wonderful opportunity to send cards to international clients.
