Thanksgiving Cards for Customers: A Good Business Move?

[missyciccolella]

Ok, who hear sends Thanksgiving Cards to their customers? I'm thinking of doing this and was curious what your cards say/look like. My thoughts are I'm giving thanks to my customers and maybe I'll generate a little biz before Christmas.
What do you think and how does/did it work for you?

I've been thinking about this as well. What I want to do is a card or post card that I can mail so they get it the week of Thanksgiving, but I want to use the Outlet and offer like a BLACK FRIDAY sale maybe where if they place their order thru me FREE shipping, something like that. What do you think?

Ohh that is a good idea. Free shipping on the "Black Friday"

I'll be doing Thanksgiving cards again this year. Here's what I'll be using:

This is a great idea.

Thank you for sharing Rae. Has this worked for you before?

I sent this last year to my past hosts and preferred customers. I printed it in a pretty font on fall-themed paper.


Thank You!


One of the real joys of the season is the opportunity to thank you for your friendship, business and support. In that spirit I’m sending you many thanks and wish you a bountiful Thanksgiving, a joyous Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year. My Pampered Chef business is successful because of you. With your support, I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home-mom for my son while also providing valuable income for my family. When I started this venture two years ago I never dreamed that it would be this much fun or this rewarding, thank you for helping me attain my dream!


Enclosed is the 2007 Holiday mini-catalog. This little catalog is filled with tips and ideas for entertaining, decorating, baking, gift-giving, and holiday essentials that you may or may not already own. I’ve made the pretzel wreaths on page 13 and not only are they beautiful, they are also very easy to make!


Please accept my gift of 10% off of your next customer order with me. This is in addition to any discounts you are already entitled to (PHD or KILO Club) and on top of any sales that The Pampered Chef is advertising.


Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!

Wow Linda, that is great too! Did you get much response?

Thank you!

I had a few thoughts in sending mine. One, I truly wanted to thank my hosts and preferred customers (that's who I sent them to) for their help in creating a successful year. Two, I wanted to get my name and business in front of them at the start of the heavy holiday season. Three, I used to send Christmas cards, but that didn't leave a lot of time for people to contact me, and not everyone celebrates Christmas. I had several people contact me during the next couple of weeks after I sent it.

I sure hope so! It's lovely!

 

[raebates]

I can't change it to Word. I did take out the info, though. You should be able to copy it, then paste it into a Word or Publisher document.

Re: Thanksgiving Thank YouThe pdf file for the Thank You contains a typing error.
It says hosing - instead of hosting.

Can anyone correct this? :balloon:

 

[wadesgirl]

I'm sending my hosts from this last year a kitchen measurement magnet from houseofmagnets.com You can attach your business card to it. I'm also going to type out a nice "form" letter explaining how much their business means to me and offering a free kitchen show or 10% off their next order through the end of January. Which means, I need to work on these this week!

Roflmao!!!! Oh Rae ... you crack me up...

 

[raebates]

I'm just glad it was caught before I sent them all out. I had to reprint them, but it's a small price to pay.
