Create Memorable Greetings for Clients with Pet Holiday Cards
The holiday season will be here before you know it, and at Positive Impressions we can help you get ahead of creating memorable greetings for clients when designing your pet holiday cards. Staying in touch with warm holiday wishes is a great way to show your clients you care and make them think of you every time they walk past your card on their fridge. In this blog, we'll give some tips and ideas for designing the perfect pet holiday greeting cards to build your client's relationship with your clinic during the holiday season.
The Importance of Holiday Greetings
Sending a holiday card is more than just a simple gesture; it's a unique opportunity to express appreciation for your clients. During the festive period, clients are inundated with countless automated greetings from various businesses. By opting for personalized pet holiday cards, you can stand out in a sea of generic messages. This thoughtful approach fosters customer loyalty and shows that you care not only about their pets but also about the connections you've built over the years.
Choosing Your Holiday Message
Sending your clients a thoughtful message during the holiday shows how much you value their business and genuinely care about them and their animal's wellbeing. At Positive Impressions, we give the option of creating a custom message or choosing from one of our prewritten verse options. If you do choose to include a custom message, consider doing the following:
Personalize Your Cards
Make your message more impactful by personalizing each card. Including your clinic's name, and perhaps even a personal note, can make all the difference. For example, "Happy Holidays from Positive Impressions!" not only identifies you but shows your clients that you recognize them as individuals.
Celebrate Inclusivity
Remember that not all of your clients celebrate the same holidays. Craft your message to be inclusive by using phrases like "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings." This approach allows you to reach a broader audience without isolating anyone based on their personal beliefs.
Mention Their Pets
Don't forget about the other family members! Including a nod to your clients' pets in the greeting can make the card feel more personal. For instance, mention their pet's name: "Wishing you and Max a joyous holiday season!"
Keep It Concise
In the hustle and bustle of the holidays, clients appreciate messages that are concise and easy to read. Aim for clarity and brevity, ensuring that your message gets across effectively without overwhelming your recipients.
Highlight Promotions or Discounts
If your clinic has any special holiday promotions or discounts, make sure to incorporate them into your card. This not only provides value to your clients but keeps your clinic in their minds when they consider veterinary services.
Consider Going Blank
Want an option to personalize the message inside each card for individual clients? Consider ordering blank pet holiday cards, or cards with only your staff signatures inside. This allows you to handwrite personalized greetings, creating an even stronger connection. Clients will appreciate the extra effort you took to reach out in a meaningful way.
Adding The Finishing Touches
Once you've created your custom greeting, add it to your choice of our festive holiday cards. You may choose from our generic "Celebrate The Season" holiday card or our "Season's Greetings" holiday card featuring cats and dogs together. For an added personal touch, add your greeting to a cat holiday card or a more generic pawprint holiday card that can be sent specifically to your dog or cat owners. Selecting Card Designs
When choosing your pet holiday cards, consider the following:
- Theme and Aesthetic: The design should reflect your clinic's personality. Would a classic snowflake card resonate more, or do you prefer something playful with pets?
- Target Audience: Think about your clients. If they predominantly have dogs, a card that features canine imagery might be more effective than a generic design.
- Personal Touches: Adding staff signatures can provide a personal flair to your cards. A handwritten signature lends a warm touch and shows that your team is invested in fostering client relationships.
Customizing Envelopes
Don't underestimate the importance of the envelope. Personalize your envelopes with your return address to make the mailing process easier, or choose from a variety of colors, such as white, cream, blue, green, red, or grey, to complement your holiday card. Visually appealing envelopes can catch the eye when clients check their mail, enticing them to open it.
Enhance With Extras
To make your holiday card package even more memorable, consider including envelope seals or custom return address labels. These small details create a professional impression, ensuring that your cards look polished from start to finish.
Start Planning Your Pet Holiday Cards
It’s never too early to start planning for the holiday season. The earlier you order your cards, the longer your client can enjoy them up on their fridge or wall. Keep in mind that while our blank cards most likely ship in 24 hours, our personalized cards normally take five business days from approval to ship.
