Start now to show you care
October 24, 2014
Autumn is in full swing. While people are putting out their autumn or Halloween decor, judging from the decorations already adorning the aisles of many retail stores, Christmas is the holiday that is just around the corner. Want to get a jump start on your Christmas cards and gifts this year? We’ve got you covered!
There’s nothing wrong with preparing early so that you can be ahead of the game and actually enjoy the holidays. In fact it is a really good idea. You might not want to put the tree up yet, but one thing you can do is go ahead and start thinking about your Christmas cards.
For some people sending Christmas cards is just one more “have to” on a long list. You have to find cards, compile addresses, get them in the mail – all in time for people to actually get their cards before Christmas. Others simply skip the hassle altogether. But YOU can be one of those people who enjoys sharing holiday cheer through a card.
Sending Christmas cards is a tradition that started in the UK in 1843 when John Calcott Horsley printed the first Christmas card. Today many people use the tradition as an opportunity to exchange family news and pictures. In a hurry-up world, making the effort to connect with family and friends is well worth the time.
Here are a few tips to help you get your Christmas cards on their way:
1. Start early. The stores have the right idea. Start now, and you won’t have the stress that comes from rushing at the last minute.
2. Make a list of people you want to send cards to. Don’t worry about who sent or did not send cards to you. Just make a list of the people you really want to connect with. Then add those people you feel you need to include. Remember that you are sharing good cheer. Don’t hold back!
3. Check addresses. Make a list of the addresses you know are good. Then you can work on finding addresses for others. With the internet, finding addresses is a snap.
4. Think about the type of card you want to send – funny, serious, religious, family pic?
5. Go to Sendcere to create a personalized card or choose one from the thousands of cards available.
6. Let SendOutCards help you keep it all together! This checklist will keep you on track.
