December is overflowing with things to do. From racing to meet year-end deadlines, balance budgets, and compile final reports before heading off on vacation, the list is endless. Sending professional holiday cards can fall by the wayside, but it shouldn’t.
Holiday cards have endured because they are a meaningful tradition. They enable us to maintain contact and keep relationships intact. In the professional sector, year-end note writing is a powerful form of networking. They show how much you value your relationships with your colleagues and set the stage for future collaboration.
Whether you opt for a polished e-card with custom artwork or send a handwritten card (we suggest the latter), make sure each missive is personalized to your recipient. Take full advantage of this season by being a good recipient of holiday cards as well. Responding with a brief message, by phone or email, to the notes you receive, expressing your appreciation and desire to connect in 2025.
