Christmas Cards / Calenders For 2009
« on: September 28, 2008, 09:01:12 am »
Can members who send out Christmas cards and new year calenders
To their clients/customers write in with your examples etc.
I`ve already started with my new year calenders,although I`m certainly
Open to suggestions regarding improvements etc.It`s more the Christmas
Card greeting side I`m interested in.Last year I spent ages looking all
Over for what I thought as to be suitable cards for both commercial
Clients and my selected residential customers.In the end I was myself
A little disappointed with what I ended up with.(Boots chemists and
Woolworths packs of 10 and 20 etc.)Hopefully I can improve on my
Last years efforts.I know it`s still perhaps a `tad`early but thought I`d
Ask in good time.
Thanks in advance for all examples shown and comments given.

I have a friend who makes mine (shes the crafty type)for all my commercial and large residentials
She prints a note for the inside and all it says is
merry xmas and a happy new year
many thanks for your custom over the past year
i just keep it simple no need to overthink it
I just ordered 50 off of here at the beginning of the month to give her time to make them so maybe i am also a 'tad' early  ;D

I only bother with Christmas cards for my best customers, and for those that tip us
But everyone gets a calender the picture contains our logo and phone number with a few more details and a picture of there own house, the reason I add a picture of there house is simple, it makes it feel special to them and they know I have spent the time doing it especially for them, there is always a method in my madness, they hang the calender up, friends and family visit and often see the calender, hence more work comes in.

This year will work out a lot cheaper for me, I bought loads of photo paper from the £1 shop, I have a continuous ink feeder and 6 x100mm of ink will cost me £10 to replace, so it will work out so much cheaper and its all done on photo paper that looks so much better.

Last year i ordered all my christmas cards from vista print, order them now and then every time they have a special offer on, pay for postage only or free postage if you spend over £20. This year i'm using the over sized post card christmas greeting. (Cheaper )
