The holiday season is upon us, and many Americans are dreaming of a "write" Christmas and what type of digital photo Christmas cards.
That’s right, it’s time to begin writing our yearly digital photo Christmas cards, a tradition most of us say we wouldn’t do without. "Holiday greetings provide a way for us to connect with friends and family, a goal that continues to grow in importance," says a Hallmark associate product manager for seasonal and digital photo Christmas cards. "Though today’s lifestyles are busy, customers tell us they look forward to this once-a-year chance to share news about their families and to hear from loved ones."
A study completed by Hallmark in 2002 shows that eighty-seven percent of consumers would eliminate something other than greeting cards from their holiday to-do lists. In addition, 73 percent of consumers said they send greetings during the holidays because they know how nice it is to receive greetings during the season.
People will send around two billion holiday cards this year. Of course, in today’s hurried lifestyles, the annual holiday card mailing and sending of digital photo Christmas cards to friends and family needs to be as easy as possible. Here are some tips from the experts at Hallmark to help you make your card-sending merry and bright.
Digital photo Christmas cards are available in most stores immediately after Halloween, or even before Halloween! Buy your digital photo Christmas cards early, and write a few cards each day during October and November.
Make card-sending a family activity. Let older children help with addressing, signing and placing stamps on the cards. Younger children can decorate the backs of the envelopes with stickers.
Normally mailing cards requires two trips to the post office – one to purchase the stamps and one to mail the cards. Save yourself one of those trips by buyingyour stamps while shopping for cards in a Hallmark Gold Crown® store. Or you can order stamps online from the U.S. Postal Service..
Running out of time? Don’t worry. Most people are happy to hear from you no matter when your greetings arrive. Or you can skip the Christmas cards in favor of New Year's cards.
But if you do have time for your digital photo Christmas cards, make sure to choose a nice photo for them. A photo of the kids, a great portrait shot of your dog or even a silly photo of yourself make great photos for digital photo Christmas cards.
