The holiday season is one
of the busiest times of the year for families and businesses. Lack of
time, together with the fact that 80 percent of all correspondence is
now electronic, may make people think twice about sending out
standard Christmas cards. However, before you decide to click 'send'
on that electronic card, listed below are a few reasons why it's
better to send a Christmas card through standard mail.
Aside from being an
opportunity to give people a snapshot of what's going on in your
life, sending out Christmas cards allows you to keep up to date with
everyone's current addresses. It's also a good way to keep in touch
with people who aren't tech savvy. Moreover, Christmas cards are
great mementos that can be displayed above the fireplace.
Sending tasteful
Christmas cards with a snapshot and a short, heartfelt message is
also more personal than emailing e-cards or scribbling greetings on
someone's social networking account. You could also schedule a family
portrait to be taken, which you can add to your cards. Several
companies personalize greeting cards for individuals and businesses
that may not have the time to create their own. Aside from being
convenient, this option also ensures that you send out unique
keepsakes that your friends and family will appreciate year after
year.
