13 Business Christmas Cards to Spread Company Cheer and Gratitude
Soon, our bellies full of Thanksgiving pie, we’ll be ready to put up the tree, watch holiday movies, and sip all the cocoa we own. While you’re enjoying all that the season has to offer, take a moment to maximize your company’s exposure. Business Christmas cards are a great way to spread cheer while connecting with clients and marketing your services.
Use corporate Christmas cards to greet customers and vendors with sincerity and without sounding like a sales pitch. You can do this while using holiday cards to reinforce branding by including your company name, logo, and slogan. It’s a personal touch that reaches your email list, revives clients who have been inactive, and generates new customers.
Most importantly, it’s a way to say thanks. Use your greeting card to communicate gratitude for all of the customers, vendors, and employees who have helped grow your business and improve your company culture this year.
Business Christmas cards don’t have to be stuffy, and they can help your relationships. Consider these catchy designs to help your company start the New Year on the right foot.

Business Christmas Cards to Spread Cheer
Business cards don’t need to be generic. Choose a high-quality card design that reflects your company spirit. This can be a playful graphic that relates to your field or a photo card with your team to say “Merry Christmas from all of us.” Since your customers are likely of many different faiths, consider inclusive messages like “Season’s Greetings,” “It’s the Happiest Time of Year,” “Spread the Holiday Cheer,” or “Merry and Bright.”
Whatever you choose, include a personal message that communicates your gratitude to everyone who has supported your business this year.
