Has anyone sent Christmas Cards to their clients thanking them for their business and looking forward to another wonderful year of service? If so can you purchase the cards or did you make them yourself?
yes, I do send Cards to clients.
A tip I would recommend would be to try and select a card that does not say Christmas but rather "Happy Holidays" This way no matter what religion they may be, you do not offend any of your clients.
I do also personalize the cards with pictures of the pets I have watched throughout the year. (Granted not all the pets will fit but I will use my top clients and rotate them.)
Thank you for the tip!
I agree, alternatively, you can do a Happy New Year card since everyone has a new year :o)
I send Happy Holidays cards to every client and for my daily walking clients I also give them a gift
Thank you!
This year, we are having postcards sent to each client with a picture of their pet from their Rover photo album. We made the postcards through a service and had them mailed directly to the clients. The cards were $0.90/card with postage included (we used Mailjoy).
We included a warm "Happy Holidays" note on the back with a recap of the amount of money we were able to donate to local shelters due to their support of our business. We donate 3% of profits to rotating shelters each month, and its been a big hit in years past to have this a part of our holiday greeting.
Front: Full size pic of dog/cat with the message: "From our Family to Yours - Happy Holidays. Love, Me, My Husband, and our Dog"
Back: "We're incredibly thankful for the support we receive from clients like you and FIDO. Our time with them makes the whole year feel like the holidays. But we feel especially grateful in this season of giving that our clients' support has enabled us to make $XXXX worth of donations to local shelter pets this year. Our warmest wishes to you and yours this holiday season".
Do you ask for the client's address?
Yes. I sent Happy Holidays cards to all of my clients this year. Several of them took the time to thank me. I think it is a nice gesture and let's them know you really appreciate their business.
