Holiday Cards Extra 10% off through October

I can't believe that October is here. The season is changing here in Utah. We're wearing long sleeves and turning our heater on at night!

Now is the time of year when I'm working with clients all over the U.S. to find the PERFECT holiday gift or card to thank employees and clients for a wonderful year.

According to Hallmark, customers are 66% more likely to buy from a company or vendor that sent them a holiday card. Can you afford to loose on this business? What's great about the holiday cards you get from Doodads is that you can customize the message and/or add a company logo.

Times are tough. They are tough for homes and companies alike. I'm finding a trend that businesses are turning to Holiday Cards to let customers know that they are thinking of them during the season. They are sometimes cheaper than a tangible gift, but still sends the message "I care about the business relationship we've grown over the year".

The important thing is that you do something. You don't have to spend a lot of money to say thank you at this time of year.

Oh, and one more thing. ALL holiday card purchases made before October 30th will receive and additional 10% off Doodads already lower prices. (Call me to see the card options available!)

Let me know how I can help you find a way to celebrate and thank your clients, customers and employees for the holidays, give me a call!

Happy Holidays,

Michelle

In Today's Economy Companies Are Choosing Holiday Cards Over Holiday Gifts

I can't believe the holidays are here.  I mean, it's November.  Where did the time go?  

I'm starting to work with customers on putting together the perfect holiday gift for clients and employees.  Already I've helped a Salt Lake City based media company finalize a USB Drive where they can put their portfolio on the drive and also give a very classy gift as well.

But, as I'm sure you know, times are tough.  They are tough for homes and companies too.  So we're finding a trend that businesses are turning to Holiday Cards to let customers know that they are thinking of them during the season.  They are sometimes cheaper, but still send the message that I care about the business relationship we've grown over the year.

The important thing is that you do something.  You don't have to spend a lot of money to say thank you at this time of year.  

According to Hallmark, customers are 66% more likely to buy from a company or vendor that sent them a holiday card.  Can you afford to loose on this business?

If I can help you find a way to celebrate and thank your clients, customers and employees for the holidays, give me a call!

Over the next few weeks, I'll be posting all kinds of holiday gift ideas. I also have holiday cards to choose from. If you are interested click on the banner above.

Here are some tips for choosing the right promotional product for your business during the holidays:
1. Choose something long lasting. The purpose of promotional products is to get your logo in front of clients and employees to secure your brand with your gift, don't waste your money on something people will throw away!

2. Choose something seasonal, like a sweatshirt or blanket. Or maybe a company mug. Seasonal gifts are fun and help celebrate the season!

3. Sometimes it's fun to pick a product that matches your business. Work with cars? Give an imprinted tool set. Work in education? Give imprinted dry erase markers or a memo board that can be used in a classroom or taken home.

4. Above all, choose something unique! They have lots of pens, give something that will mean something to the recipient that they will want to keep on their desks and think of you every time they see it!
