Have you ever used pre-holiday postcards to promote a holiday sale?

Hi Everyone~

I just got an e-mail from Vista Print with big time savings on postcards. I wondered if any of you send out pre-holiday postcards offering a holiday sale or anything like that.

I was thinking of maybe making up a postcard offering 10% off if they order their holiday gifts by a certain date. Maybe include free gift wrapping?

Any ideas?

Gift wrapping?I'd buy from you for that reason alone. I'm told that I'm a very talented gift wrapper myself, but it gets pretty tedious after awhile.Sure you wanna do that?

I figure it's good customer service around the holidays. Plus, it may mean that more men who hate shopping (and wrapping) will buy their gifts from me! I have a couple nights alone where my daughter is with her father and my fiance is gone... figure it will give me something to do! Just thinking: Maybe I should offer FREE gift wrapping with $60 purchase...then throw in the FREE guest special too!What do you think?

I got that ssme email from vista print.... It sounds like a good idea to send out to host and guest for the up coming holiday season.

Hi there!

I love the idea of sending out pre-holiday postcards to promote a holiday sale. It's a great way to reach out to potential customers and offer them a special incentive to shop with us. I think offering 10% off and free gift wrapping is a fantastic idea. It will definitely catch people's attention and encourage them to take advantage of our holiday deals. Maybe we could also include some holiday recipe ideas or gift suggestions on the postcard to make it even more appealing. Let's brainstorm some more ideas and make this holiday season a successful one for our business!
