Holiday Cards For Business – It’s The Thought That Counts

We have all heard of the age old saying, “It’s the thought that counts.” You would usually refer to this saying if you receive something that you either did not want or felt someone put very little thought into presenting you with. The same comparison can be made about holiday cards for business. You get a card, open it up, and it is so flimsy that you only response can be, “Well, it’s the thought that counts…I guess.”

When a company chooses to order their holiday cards from The Gallery Collection, they are demonstrating the fact that they care about the message that they’re sending to their customers and clients. They can choose from many appealing and appropriate designs. Next they can select a greeting from the many offered, or they can customize their own greeting. Next they choose the coloring of the print inside from one of the lovely ink choices or elegant gold or silver foil. A company can further personalize their corporate holiday cards by adding a company logo or employee signatures.

From the time the recipients open up one of these holiday cards and see the elegantly lined envelopes, and after pulling out the card and seeing how beautifully it is adorned, they will realize that this is a card experience like no other. Once they feel the weight of the sturdy card and proceed to open it they will be excited by the elegance within. They will definitely know that a lot of thought went into the selection of that card and that their business relationship with the company was appreciated.

As a business you do have the option of buying a box of ordinary holiday cards, but when your customers receive Gallery Collection business holiday cards, they will know that they were well thought of…and that is what really counts!

Christmas Cards for Business Add That Personal Touch

I love getting Christmas cards – the pictures, the messages, the feeling you get each time you open one and realize someone was thinking of you.  These feelings aren’t just for family, friends and neighbors.  Christmas cards for business are also a big part of the season.  When people have so many choices as to who gets their business, its heartwarming to know you are appreciated.  Actually, a business Christmas card does double duty.  It lets customers know how much their loyalty has meant over the year, but it also puts their name back in the customers’ minds.  Remember, the holidays are a hectic time of year – everyone searching for just the right gift.  Sometimes that card arriving at the opportune time could be just what the doctor ordered.  Some businesses keep their names in customers’ minds all year long by sending a calendar card – another great idea.

I know around the holidays I sometimes get a card with a little something tucked inside.  Dare I say it, but these are my favorites.  Advertisements of special sale dates or coupons are a real treat.  Businesses know that you’ll spend the coupon money and more, so for them, it’s “win/win”.

And what about a card from your doctor or dentist?  Sometimes those visits are a little nerve racking.  But lots of us end up having a wonderful relationship with the folks in those offices.  I know for the holidays each year, my mom bakes cookies and delivers them to her doctors and their staffs which is her way of saying thanks for all the help during the year.  So, a card from them says they are thanking and thinking of her too.

Some people are skeptics and think businesses are cold, but clearly getting business holiday cards says the exact opposite.  Someone spends quite a bit of time choosing just the right card – be it a wreath, tree, bells, or something a bit more whimsical – maybe penguins decorating a tree – to send that holiday message.  So actually, quite a few people have their hand in making your holidays a little brighter just by sending you a Christmas card.

Thanksgiving Cards Are Great For Use In The Catering Business

For those in the catering business who normally send business holiday cards to former and/or potential future clients, I propose that this year you instead send Thanksgiving cards, for many reasons. What better holiday to associate your food-related business than to the holiday which some think of as a celebration of all-day eating! Sending a  Thanksgiving card will also allow you to get a jump on those who are sending business Christmas cards.

It also can’t hurt to remind customers of your high-quality food and service right before the holiday season madness begins. Sending a Thanksgiving greeting card might encourage customers to contact you for both their personal and business holiday catering needs in December and beyond. Businesses that are late in booking their holiday parties and find themselves shut out of banquet halls and restaurants can turn to you to cater their Christmas parties at alternative venues. Individual recipients of Thanksgiving  cards will consider you to help out with their culinary needs for their family celebrations. If you send it out at the right time, you might even get some last-minute Thanksgiving catering work from stressed-out hosts!

Environmentally Friendly Business Holiday Cards – An Inexpensive Way to Make a Statement

Remind the people and companies that you do business with that the environment does not take a back seat to your bottom line. And the festive holiday season is a great time to do just that! Consider sending environmentally friendly business holiday cards to your vendors, business partners and clients. Now, more than ever, they are an inexpensive way to make a statement that your business cares about the planet.

When it comes to holidays cards for business, to send or not to send shouldn’t be the question. Every business wants to enhance their current relationships, attract new clients and customers, remind old clients of their existence, and show appreciation to all of those they do business with.

It does not take much time to make an impact. Get on the internet and visit GalleryCollection.com. You will find plenty of holiday cards that are FSC certified, which means that the raw materials used to make the paper stock were harvested and replenished in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. The paper used to make these beautiful holiday cards is also made with wind power… paper made from renewable energy! Your customers, clients and business partners will be pleased when they see that you have not only reached out with warm holiday wishes, but that you did so in an environmentally friendly way. The icing on the cake is that you do not have to spend a lot of money to send out elegant, rich looking environmentally friendly business holiday cards.

Quality and Service Matter when Ordering Corporate Holiday Cards

When you send corporate holiday cards to business associates, you are saying more than just “Season’s Greetings.” You are representing your company with the card you choose. The Gallery Collection has always taken great pride in the quality and beauty of the holiday cards we offer. Not only do we offer exceptional designs, but we also offer exceptional service. This makes our holiday cards a top choice for your business, but you don’t have to take our word for it.

We received an email from Diana Smith, who wrote:
“Your cards are the best. I was stupid enough to try a different company and was very very displeased with their product. Let alone, they cost more for less quality. I will never steer myself in that direction again no matter how good the other cards look in the catalog. Silly me!! I should know better.”

Needless to say, we were all very happy to receive such an email. We take great pride in our product and the services we offer. Hearing that a customer is very satisfied makes everyone at the company feel good.

Our Chief Marketing Officer was very pleased to get such positive feedback. He wrote to Diana to ask if we could use her comments as a testimonial. Her response thrilled us just as much as her original email:
“Sure, you can print my comment. Why not, your cards are the best. Diana Smith owner of Topiary Gardens, Marcellus, NY”

Diana even wrote back one more time to give us a little more information:
“Hello again, I also neglected to put the following in my comment. I am a seasonal company and don’t see my customers until late April and they all comment on the beautiful card that I had sent for Christmas. They are very memorable and make a great impression.”

Having high quality products and great customer service are trademarks of The Gallery Collection. As you can see from our satisfied customers, we strive to give you the very best corporate Christmas cards and holiday cards available. These cards make a great impression on everyone who receives them, which makes a very positive statement about your company.

Business Holiday Cards are a Meaningful Gesture

In these tough economic times it can be expected that gift giving amongst businesses and business associates during the holidays will be curtailed if not altogether done away with. What a shame. This is a nice way to show your appreciation for those you have worked with or for those you have done business with during the past year. But all is not lost. First of all I wouldn’t know what to do with yet another coffee mug or picture frame. But what I would not want to go without would be the lovely business holiday cards I receive and send.

A clever way to display your business holiday cards and Christmas cards in your home.

Christmas cards in your home.

I send at least 100 holiday cards for business to my associates each year and about 75 Christmas cards to my family and friends. Not a year has gone by that I don’t hear from someone how they appreciated such a beautiful card and thoughtful gesture. If they are like me, they display their holiday cards all around their work area and their Christmas cards all around their home so as to be reminded that they are important or are loved by someone very important to them. This small but meaningful gesture leaves a lasting impression throughout the year.

Corporate Christmas Cards for Our First Christmas

My husband and I recently started a new business, and we thought it would be a great way to advertise this year by sending out our first corporate Christmas cards. We knew we needed professional looking Christmas cards and at a good value. We also wanted Christmas cards that would reflect our new business. We looked through many catalogues, stopped at several greeting cards stores, and searched the Internet looking for the perfect Business Holiday Cards. Since this was going to be our first official holiday greetings, the corporate Christmas cards and the sentiment inside had to be just right.

Lucky for us, we discovered The Gallery Collection. We thought the Christmas cards on the website were beautiful, and the fact that we had several choices for the imprinted greeting really pleased us. But what really made us happy was how perfect the Christmas cards we chose suited our new business. We selected the Sparkle Bear Greetings Holiday Card design and yes, you guessed it, we are in the business of selling teddy bears. How perfect was this?!? We found a professional Christmas card design that was also adorable. This was like getting your first Christmas gift.

This corporate Christmas card design perfectly captures the essence of our business – whimsical and fun. We are certainly glad we found The Gallery Collection and look forward to ordering our business Christmas cards from them again next year. Have a Very Beary Christmas!

Business Holiday Cards that will Keep you in the Minds of your Recipients

Design 149CW, Golden Snowscape Holiday Card, is one of my favorite business holiday cards introduced into The Gallery Collection line this year. It is a photograph of a lake with the sun, low in the sky but glowing brilliantly. The surrounding trees and foliage are reflected in the water. The golden sparkle effects enhance the warm earth tones of brown, gold and rust, while the snow covered banks and branches add the winter touches that celebrate Christmas. The deep brown border and simple “Season’s Greetings” sentiment allows you to send this holiday card to friends and family or to use as your business Christmas cards.

And FYI, this photograph was the winner of The Gallery Collection’s 1st annual Create-A-Greeting-Card $10,000 Scholarship Contest. It was submitted by Elizabeth Digre, a junior at the University of Southern Maine.

I know what you’re thinking about design 864CX, Red Berry Greetings Holiday Card – when did black become a Christmas color? Who would send black holiday cards? Red, green, and white are the typically holiday colors. Trees, candy canes, ornaments, snowmen, and snow flakes are the common reminders of the holiday season. But if you’re looking for a business holiday card to put you a step above your competition, this is the one for you!

Just take a good look at this gorgeous card! It is such a simple design yet the classic gold foil and red berries make it so elegant! This card is rich with texture. You can feel how the branches are imprinted into the black matte paper. Without seeing the card in front of you, you probably can’t see the detail on the bottom right, but the ground where the berry branches are growing is actually raised! The red berries are embossed and add such flavor to the design.

Don’t forget, you choose the greeting that appears inside your holiday cards. It will be printed in gold foil. Centered below the greeting, we offer two lines of personalization at no extra charge. How chic and sophisticated your company name will look!

This beautiful card will leave a lasting impression with your friends and clients. They will remember how thoughtful you were for taking the time to select a design with such timeless class and elegance. Sending this card has a two-fold purpose: one, to send well wishing holiday greetings and two, to keep your name in their minds!

Will it be a Traditional Business Holiday Card or a Die-Cut Holiday Card?

I have my own personal business, and each year I like to take advantage of the great pre-season discounts offered by The Gallery Collection, the leading business holiday cards publisher in the nation, from whom I order my holiday cards each year and send out to my loyal customers. I asked for two free samples again this year. The first one, design #167CW, Chickadee Greetings Holiday Card, features a picture of a little chickadee on the front while the other design, #156CS, Snowflurry Greetings Holiday Card, is one of those die-cut holiday greeting cards that allows a company name to show through from the inside printing. Both are so beautiful that I don’t know which one to order.

The one with the chickadee is a white card that is glossy, with rich foil and sparkling silver foil on the snow-covered tree limb on which the bird is perched. The die-cut holiday card, also white and glossy, features silver embossed foil in the shape of a snowflake with royal blue accenting underneath. I like the idea of having my company name appearing on the front, so-to-speak, while the card is closed, but I also just love the clarity and colors on the other chickadee design.

So, will it be the more traditional business holiday card or the die-cut holiday card? I guess I’ll have to make up my mind eventually, but thankfully I have some time to ponder before the discount drops.

Business Holiday Cards are the Perfect Expression of Gratitude

This was my first year as a small business owner and I was searching for a way to reach out to my customers during the holiday season. More specifically, I was looking for an inexpensive way to express my gratitude towards 150 of my clients. This presented a major challenge for me. While there are an infinite number of gift ideas, I needed to maintain a budget of about $275 or less.

Exhausted from brainstorming gift ideas, I decided to take a break by looking through my mail. All of a sudden I saw something that caught my attention…it was a catalog which advertised business holiday cards. Bingo! This was it. I could reach out to my clients by creating custom Christmas cards. I immediately turned to the pricing guide and saw that I could order enough holiday cards and stay within my budget. So I went through the catalog, picked out my card, and submitted my order.

It wasn’t even two full weeks when I received my corporate Christmas cards. I was very impressed at the quality of the cards and the speed at which I received my custom order.  And the cards seemed to have left the same quality impression on my clients. I received several phone calls commenting on the thoughtfulness of the holiday cards. I even received a few people who asked me where I ordered the cards from, as they wanted to reach out to some of their more important clients before the holiday season was over.
