Christmass Cards

[PRECISION LC]

HOW MANY OF YOU SEND CHRISTMASS CARDS TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. WHAT DO YOU SAY, DO YOU SEND ANY GIFTS OR GIFT CERTIFICATES.
THANKS KYLE

I just sent mine out today. but mine were "Holiday Greeting" cards. not everyone celebrates christmas. maybe you should get Holiday Greeting cards or something along those lines. unless you know all your customers that well. just my two cents.


Happy Holidays!

Hey kyle,
Leesa gets our cards at the Hallmark in Andover , then takes them to a printer and they print our name on them . thats the best way I have found to buy them.
sorry I didnt get back to you on that snow account. I was so busy I just didnt think abouit anymore that day

we send out cards .99% of our custormers are christains but we send out some that say holiday greetings are something to that effect as not to offend our jewish and a few arab and indian custormers . Im sure it would not offend them i know many of there fairly well ,but we dont take chance it might.

Christmas cards are a nice way of saying thanks..........i have sent them out every i have been in business.....i typically say thank you for your business or happy holiays , seasons greetings etc. i agree with others who say not to say anything that may offend someone else............good luck tim

I cannot see how "Merry Christmas" can offend someone. It seems everyone is encouraged to be proud of who/what they are as long as they are not white, heterosexual, and or Christian.

Amen to crawdad. Can I say "amen"?

We send a holiday greetings card and usually add a hand written message thanking them for the opportunity to work with them that year, and that we would look forward to another season. Simple, and people appreciate it. VIP clients usually get a gift certificate of some sort - movie passes, free holiday wreath, etc...

Here's a topic never discussed before. Do a search using "christmas cards" as your key words. Please get rid of the CAPS!!!!!

I know what ya mean but some of our custormers are hindus, moslems.Around here its a big rainbow world and you have no recourse but to deal with it.
You see i dont belive in ANY RELIGION i could care less about religion.
But i do care about THE GREEN and these people pay a lot of it every year.And they are americans to just as much as anybody else.Pay taxes just like everybody else.
But i certainly see your point of view

We deliver a card with a poinsetta each December to our customers. The poinsettas just arrived yesterday. It takes a little time to get them out there. We're able to thank our customers face to face and they have appreciated the poinsettas. Some of our "better" customers will get gift baskets.

Sending out a holiday card versus a christmas card is not being politcally correct. Its being a smart business man. You work hard to get your customers through salesmanship and your work just as hard to keep them through your work and your ongoing relationship with them. You shouldn't do something that might sour that relationship, even if it might seem like it wouldn't be a big deal to you.

I send Christmas Cards, pure and simple. I don't see anything on my calender that says HOLIDAY. It just says Christmas. And since I'm a Christian, I'll send Christmas Cards till the day I die.

By the way, I'd love to get some Hannukah cards or any other cards from my non-Christian customers. Wouldn't offend me a bit. In fact, I'd know it was genuine, not some fake, generic, made up rhetoric.

My Jewish customers are probably feeling the same way. In fact, I bet the only offended people are the bleeding hearts that feel like they have to protect the other religions, not the other religions themselves...why, I will never know.

Come on, people. Have some backbone.

Merry Christmas!

First of off i DONT BELEIVE IN ANY RELIGION AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Second i aint gonna be so stupid to send a muslim a christmas card .
You call it bending i call these people got THE GREEN they pay and i dont give a **** about the religion only there MONEY.

[hoyboy]

Hey! We share the same feeling! I don't care about religion either. Just Christ.

Merry CHRISTmas!

Cullen,
I believe that your opening statement couldn't be further from the truth.Where it may be smart in your own mind. It's the very idea of tolerence being shoved down everones throat daily.
