The busy holiday season is just around the corner.
If you are like most people, the season is busy with end of the year work and social obligations.
And plain fun! What can you do with greeting cards or postcards to help the holiday season go smoother and perhaps generate a little buzz or attention for your business? Here are some tips: Send out Halloween or Thanksgiving cards instead - Coming at a different time of year, the cards stand out a bit more.
Your message has a chance to be heard.
You should play down the "advertisement" feature of the card since you are really sending your well wishes and reminding your contacts of your presence.
Use Mail Merge carefully - Mail Merge is a great feature, but be sure to check over all or most of the mail merge results to be sure that the results look professional.
Make sure a long name or address hasn't ruined the pagination.
Make sure the names of your contacts are spelled correctly.
Going a Step Further with Mail Merge - Rather than printing your to and from addresses onto white stickers, take the extra time to feed your envelopes through the printer one at a time, if necessary.
Use a Greeting Card Service - Services like Send Out Cards (in the spirit of fair play, note that I am a distributor) saves you time and money, while allowing you the options of adding your company logo, photos, and custom covers.
You can even use a font of your own handwriting and signatures.
Use a Virtual Assistant - Virtual Assistants buy you the assistance you need at a great price.
I often use one for my database management and typing services.
Good assistants can build your contact list or set up your cards for your signature.
With a little pre-planning, your holiday card mailings can be easy as...
Pumpkin pie! Happy Autumn to you all.
