GUEST AUTHOR: The Top Three Reasons To Send Holiday Greeting Cards To Your Clients and Referral Sources By Donna Pullan, President

Like many businesses in today’s competitive marketplace, the emphasis to find a unique opportunity to differentiate your business and increase your chances of beating the competition is crucial.  In this high-tech impersonal business environment, now more than ever, it’s imperative that companies bring the “personal touch” back into their client relationships.  One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to do this is to send personalized holiday greeting cards to your clients.

 

Naturally, we immediately think of the Christmas season as the time to send holiday greeting cards however there are various other seasonal holidays that provide you with additional opportunities to reach your clients with a personalized greeting card. These include New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, 4^th of July, Halloween and Thanksgiving, just to name a few.

Sending seasonal holiday greeting cards also provide you with the opportunity to stay in touch with your client base in a consistent yet professional manner.

 

Here are the top three reasons how companies benefit from sending personalized holiday greeting cards to clients:

 

1.      They communicate in writing that you appreciate their business and loyal support.

 

2.      They build loyalty and retain clients.

 

3.      Reinforce name recognition in a personal yet professional manner.

 

Business trends indicate it is six times more costly to gain new customers than it is to keep your existing ones.  While marketing and advertising strategies have a temporary effect on sales results, focusing on direct approaches such as sending holiday greeting cards forms a dedicated client base and keeps building sales. Make sure you take the time to recognize your most valuable asset - your clients.
