What To Write On A Holiday Card

Holiday cards are an easy and thoughtful way to say “thank you” to clients and customers who have stuck with you through the last year. When writing holiday greetings for your business, aim for an uplifting tone. Put sincerity and appreciation front and centre. If you are not sure of what holidays your potential recipients celebrate, we recommend you stick with generic end-of-year messages such as “Season’s Greetings,” “Happy Holidays”, or “Happy New Year.”

Writing holiday greetings for business contacts means getting creative, but this season we’ve made it simple for you. With an eye-catching card design and a carefully-crafted holiday greeting, your holiday card will surely stand out.

Below are a few ideas of holiday card messages to help you connect with customers or show appreciation for employees during the holiday season.

Things to consider when designing your holiday card

1. Pair festive design with wording to match. Choose a holiday card design that aligns with your brand and use language that complements your design. 
2. Get creative with formatting. Capitalisation and line breaks can add personality to an otherwise generic message. Play around with formatting based on the card that best suits your business. 
3. Make it personal. Try composing longer messages that include a personal touch like the recipient's name. This encourages recipients to take a few moments to read your card.
4. Don’t overdo your business branding: We recommend you only feature your brand logo so you don’t distract the holiday sentiment you’re trying to convey.
5. Include a small gift with the card: To keep within the giving spirit of the season, think about including a small gift alongside your card. A gift card or a coupon that offers a special discount on a product or service makes for a thoughtful gesture during the holiday season.
