I sent out Holiday cards to my past hosts but was wondering if any of you send out letters of thank you to past guests? If so what do you write in your letters? My brain is blank right now. Thanks for any input!
 
Nancy's has some holiday post cards. I will probably send those out to customers this year that spent over a certain amount, were at a lot of shows, etc. I'm sending my hosts magnetic calendars with my biz card on them, along with a thank you note for helping my business this year.
