Every December, inboxes fill up with e-cards that get a two-second glance before they’re archived. A printed card with your name on it does something different: it gets opened, read, and put somewhere people can see it.

A card stays where an email can’t

Think about where Christmas cards end up. On the reception desk, along the office windowsill, on a shelf in the kitchen at home. For a few weeks, your business sits in plain sight in the places your clients spend their time.

That’s hard to buy any other way, and it comes from a card that says thank you rather than one that’s trying to sell something.

What makes a card worth keeping

A few things separate a card that gets kept from one that goes straight in the recycling:

• Your brand, done properly. Your logo and colours on a design that still feels festive, not like a letterhead with a snowflake on it.
• A message that sounds like you. A short, warm line inside goes a long way. If you can, add a handwritten signature or a personal note for your key clients.
• A good finish. Heavier card, a matt or silk finish, or a touch of foil makes a card feel like it was chosen with care.
• Matching envelopes. Small detail, big difference when it lands on someone’s desk.

Keep it simple for yourself

You don’t need a finished design to get started. Send us your logo and a rough idea of the look you want, and we’ll come back with options and a price. We can print one design for everyone, or a few versions if you’d like something different for clients, suppliers and staff.
