Business Holiday Cards & Letters For Everyone

At the end of the year, it's customary for businesses to send holiday greetings or letters to clients, vendors, and other business associates. But what should you write that will sound professional and sincere without offending anyone's religious sensibilities? Here are some tips.

3 Tips for Stress-Free Holiday Business Cards 

$75 off your next Greeting Card Order - Ends 12/311. Start before December and save. If you're ordering preprinted cards or need to send your letter to the printer, get your order in before the end of November and you'll not only give yourself more time, but you'll often save money with order-early holiday discounts.

2. Make a list and check it twice. Make a list of all the business associates to whom you'll be sending cards and then order slightly more than that to allow for last-minute additions or errors in addressing, stamping, etc. Be sure to update and check your mailing list before sending, too.

3. Send early. Many people take time off near the holidays, so get your letters or cards in the mail in early December to make sure their arrive at your recipient's office before he or she takes off for the holidays. It also means that YOUR holidays will be less stressful because you won't be waiting until the last minute to send your cards.

Sample Business Christmas Letter 

If you'll be using your own company letterhead to send your holiday greetings, you'll need to write a short letter to express your wishes. Here is a sample business holiday letter you can customize to suit your needs.

Dear (Customer Name),

As the holiday season approaches, we'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued partnership. It is business associates like you who make our jobs a pleasure and keep our company successful.

May your holiday season and the new year be filled with much joy, happiness and success. We look forward to working with you in the coming year and hope our business relationship continues for many years to come.

Happy holidays!

(Your Company Name)

Christmas Card Sayings 

Phrases for your holiday cards

If you're sending preprinted holiday cards rather than letters, you will only need a good phrase or two for your card. But finding the right words to include in a business holiday card can be harder than creating something for your friends and family, as you probably don't know your clients and merchants as well. Here are some safe phrases you can include in cards for business colleagues without fear of offending most people.

Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year from (your company name)

Best wishes for the holidays and for prosperity throughout the coming year

in reply to Schaffina Hi Schaffina, I don't know if there are different formalities in Australia (Aussies, please chime in!), but in the US, your signature generally goes between the closing phrase and your typed name and title. Here's an example:

Best regards,

(Signature)
