Why not do something different for your clients this Christmas?

Who doesn’t like to receive a Christmas card? Whilst I’ve been noticing more ‘merry text-masses’ being sent as opposed to physical cards, it’s a tradition that I love to indulge in.
​

The first commercial Christmas Card was created in 1843 by Sir Henry Cole. He was responsible for thinking up the idea of sending written season’s greetings in a card and it’s a tradition that continues today and is observed by many across the globe. As a result, Christmas Card Day is celebrated every 9th December in his honour.

It’s amazing how simple ideas can flourish into long-lasting traditions. By 1880, Prang and Mayer were producing a massive five million cards a year. The ritual of sending Christmas Cards had become a well-established practice.

Whilst nowadays there is a huge range of images to choose from, back then, many cards depicted children or cartoon animals. In 2001, one of the world’s first Christmas cards sold at auction for a whopping £22,250!

So what are you waiting for? Remember to include a personalised greeting in your homemade masterpiece.

Whilst many reflect biblical verses and blessings, other popular messages written inside a Christmas Card are,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and Seasons Greetings.
​
No more excuses – do something different this year! Your clients, friends and family will appreciate the effort.
