A Business Holiday Card with a Year-Round Gift

When a company that makes games needs to spread a little timely cheer, they look for business holiday cards that will deliver more than just a message. Ignition Entertainment’s video game publishing studio in Gainesville, Florida chose a dazzling Gallery Collection die-cut holiday card to feature their company name and send as a gift to their press and media friends this holiday season.

Included as a bonus to the beautiful Season’s Greetings holiday card was a desk calendar featuring art from the video game Blue Dragon Plus. It’s always nice to receive a holiday gift, and one that’s aesthetic and practical is doubly welcome. Media contacts and other recipients of this holiday package will be sure to remember Ignition Entertainment in the coming months.

So always think of your clients and vendors when selecting and sending business holiday cards, and spend some time pondering over what small gift they would appreciate. It will make a difference to the person on the other end. A warm gesture is always welcome and will truly endear yourself to your receiver.

A Healthy Dose of Business Holiday Cards

The popularity of sending business holiday cards is increasing in leaps and bounds as more companies begin to realize the real value of doing so. Working for The Gallery Collection has taught me a few things, among them being the importance of remembering all the people in our lives during the holidays. What might seem like a small gesture can be quite meaningful to the person who receives a business holiday card.

Case in point is my mom, who called me one fine day in mid-December of last year, elated that her doctors had sent her Christmas cards (and beautiful ones at that!) She described one of the Christmas cards in detail, oohing and aahing over the lovely winter scenes card complete with snow-covered evergreens and personalized in elegant gold foil. She couldn’t wait to show the Christmas cards to me.

That Thursday night I joined her for dinner as I usually did once a week. She loves the thin-crust pizza that I always order for us, since they never serve it at her assisted living facility. She always complains about the food there, but that’s another story. Anyway, as soon as I walked in she said “Before we eat, I have to show you the wonderful Christmas card that Doctor B. sent me. It really is special and you know, I’ve been to lots of doctors in my 87 years and this is the first time I ever got Christmas cards from one of them.”

She handed me the Christmas card and all I could do was smile. I recognized the Christmas card as soon as I saw it! It seems that Doctor B. had excellent taste, since the greeting card he sent was from The Gallery Collection. It was one of my favorite winter scenes holiday cards!

As I looked at the Christmas card, I wondered if the good doctor realized how much happiness he brought, not just to my mom but to all his patients. That one little Christmas card was the best medicine my mom could have gotten from him!

Personalized Christmas Cards Maker GalleryCollection.com Joins Operation Gratitude and Army-Navy Game to Support Troops Overseas

RIDGEFIELD PARK, NJ – December 3, 2008 – Prudent Publishing’s GalleryCollection.com, the leading personalized Christmas cards and corporate Holiday cards publisher in the nation, announced today that it has joined Operation Gratitude and the 2008 Army-Navy Football Game to support deployed service members through Operation Gratitude’s “Letters to Heroes” letter writing campaign.

Operation Gratitude has been sending care packages to individual service members deployed overseas since 2003. “Letters to Heroes” coordinates efforts to provide heartfelt letters to service members, which are then included in each care package.

GalleryCollection.com and Operation Gratitude donated 28,000 holiday cards and will distribute the cards at the 109th Army-Navy Game, being held at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on December 6. At the game, fans will use the holiday cards to write personal letters of appreciation to service members, and these personalized Christmas cards will be delivered in each Operation Gratitude care package.

Holiday cards will also be made available for personalization at several Philadelphia hotel welcome tables, the Army-Navy Gala held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on December 5, and Penn’s Landing.

The first Army-Navy Game kicked off in 1890 at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, but it didn’t become a true annual tradition until 1930. Generally played on the first Saturday in December, the game is considered one of the longest lasting rivalries in college football.

Keep Customers in Mind with Corporate Christmas Cards

Today’s businesses are struggling just to exist! They have to save money wherever they can because of increased fuel costs, higher material costs, and tighter consumer expenditures due to the recessing economy. As a consumer, I would like to commend the companies that still send business holiday cards. They have not forgotten the people that are keeping them in business. There are certain areas in which a business could save money, and cutting back by not sending business holiday cards should not be one of them.

I received some very high quality corporate Christmas cards this past holiday season, despite rising costs. It is very important to thank your customers. Businesses have to go the extra mile to keep their customers happy so they will come back throughout the coming year, especially considering the status of our current economy. The companies that have taken the time to thank their customers are the businesses that I will use and recommend to others. So despite all of the economic setbacks that just about everyone in the U.S. is experiencing, I recommend that businesses keep us consumers in mind with corporate Christmas cards and we’ll keep you in mind the next time we open our checkbooks.
