How to Pick Business Holiday Cards

Sending out holiday cards is a great way for business owners to show their appreciation to their clients and thereby strengthen professional relationships. It is a nice gesture of goodwill and a subtle way of promoting your business at the same time. That said, business owners need to pick the right card for their clients.

Pick high-quality cards printed on quality paper. If you pick a poorly crafted card, your clients will think you're nothing but a cheapskate who couldn't care less about creating a wrong impression. High-quality cards at competitive prices are available, so there's simply no excuse to send out shoddy holiday cards. Aside from the quality of the card itself, you need to make sure that the contents of the card are just as tasteful.


Keep in mind that you’re not sending a card to your old drinking buddy, so steer clear of crude humor. It's also important to be mindful of the recipient's religious beliefs or cultural background when picking the type of card. For example, if the recipient is Jewish, it may not be a good idea to send a Christmas card. A simple card that delivers a straightforward message, be it “Happy Birthday” or “Happy Holidays,” is preferable to avoid inadvertently offending anyone.
