\"Christmas<\/p>\n

Sending clients and business associates seasonal tidings is a nice way to let them know how much you appreciate their business or partnership!<\/p>\n

The messages in boxed Christmas cards can be a little on the sappy side, though, which may not feel like a good fit for your company. Opting for customized cards<\/a> gives you the freedom to say what you want to say.<\/p>\n

If you want to send holiday greetings that sound a little more \u201cyou,\u201d try swapping out commonly cheesy phrases with these phrases in your Christmas messages for clients:<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom our family to yours…\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One popular phrase that appears with frequency in holiday messages is \u201cFrom our family to yours\u201d. While it\u2019s a lovely sentiment, for some, this wording may fall short.<\/p>\n

If your employees don\u2019t really mesh with that \u201cfamily\u201d vibe, try \u201cteam,\u201d \u201cclan\u201d, or \u201cgang\u201d instead.\u00a0 The 2 phrases basically mean the same thing; the latter simply eliminates some of the formal sentimentality.<\/p>\n

\u201cMay the season bring you…\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maybe it\u2019s the lights, the decorations, or the joyful music playing everywhere, but most people will readily admit the holiday season brings about a different feel for a while.<\/p>\n

Still, phrases like \u201cMay the season bring you peace, joy, and love\u201d feel a little heavy-handed sometimes. So, forget about the season. You\u2019re the one sending the message. If you want your customers to have a joyous holiday, let them know with \u201cWishing you…\u201d It\u2019s just as festive, but a little more personal, and not so corny.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarmest regards and thank you for your business\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Your customers make your business, and the holiday season is the perfect time to say \u201cthank you.\u201d\u00a0 It is perfectly all right, though, not to declare the temperature of your regards. If \u201csincerest\u201d and \u201cwarmest\u201d feel just a little overblown, keep it simple and just say \u201cThanks!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWishing you the happiest of holidays. Thank you for your business.\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n
