Of course sending out holiday greeting cards is a wonderful gesture, but the card you choose to send can and will be critiqued.<\/p>\n<p>Some companies take the easy route and buy the pre-made boxed greeting card sets that everyone else buys and guess what&#8230; there&#8217;s a big possibility that someone else sent that same exact card to your customer and how does that make you look?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also witnessed the so-called holiday cards that were really nothing but advertisements. You know, the ones with the big logo taking up the whole front of the card and a very generic &#8220;Happy Holidays&#8221;, here&#8217;s a coupon to buy stuff from us cards. That&#8217;s not personal, that doesn&#8217;t build relationships, it simply becomes a sales pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you genuinely want to thank your customers or vendors and wish them happy holidays, it should come naturally to go the extra mile to do so.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not saying you have to spend a fortune (which some companies do!) but customizing your holiday greeting cards with a nice message and possibly a real signature inside will make a big difference for your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<dl id=\"attachment_3214\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 610px;\">\n<dt class=\"wp-caption-dt\"><a title=\"Custom Holiday Greeting Card Printing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mmprint.com\/Greetings_Cards.cfm\" target=\"_blank\">We are currently offering Free Blank Envelopes with your order of Holiday Greeting Cards.<\/a><br \/>\n<a title=\"Custom Holiday Greeting Card Printing\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mmprint.com\/Greetings_Cards.cfm\" target=\"_blank\"> Contact us if you need any ideas for your design.<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Every year around this time we get swamped with orders for Customized Holiday Greeting Cards.
