But let\u2019s face it- Christmas has been hogging the attention for far too long! There\u2019s a perfectly good holiday mere days before December, and it&#8217;s getting the short end of the stick. You may know it as Christmas: Part 1; in more innocent times it was known as Thanksgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We aim to take back Thanksgiving, and the first tool in our arsenal is the innocuous yet powerful Thanksgiving card. In a world saturated with Christmas hullabaloo, it\u2019s a secret weapon for winning loyalty and sending a sterling impression. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skeptical? After years of relentless yuletides, we wouldn\u2019t blame you. So take just a moment and let us show you why the Thanksgiving card is the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas card! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Something They Will See!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve all seen so many Christmas cards that we\u2019re becoming inured to them. Every trope, illustration, color scheme, and font feels like something we see like clockwork. Frankly, Christmas has become something of a routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The great thing about giving Thanksgiving cards is their unexpectedness, and that means people will <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">look at them. It\u2019s a great moment to show off your company\u2019s distinctive qualities and have them stick in your clients\u2019 minds. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Guileless Greetings<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s be honest- Christmas has a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">huge <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">agenda. The relentless complaint is how commercial it&#8217;s become, and not without reason. Companies spend months crafting their holiday campaigns because their success or failure literally rests on a single month! And while that hustle is necessary and justified, the oversaturation of commerce burns people out. People just like your clients&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Thanksgiving isn\u2019t trying to profit from anything. Its whole agenda is to celebrate blessings and the people who make them possible. Once again, people just like your clients&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you send a Thanksgiving card, you\u2019re telling your clients \u201cI\u2019m stronger because of you.\u201d That\u2019s a message that will resonate with them well past the holidays.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Freedom of Expression<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what does a Thanksgiving card look like? That\u2019s just the thing- it\u2019s an undiscovered country!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Christmas may have become bogged down in the same tried-and-true forms, Thanksgiving cards are a perfect canvas for experimentation. It\u2019s fine to rely conventional symbols- autumn colors, turkeys, and cornucopias. But if you\u2019re feeling more jaunty and artistic, it can be an excellent opportunity to give your gratitude some creative expression. There are a million things to be thankful for, and there should be a million ways of illustrating it. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With such an untested medium, the prospect of finding your own style may seem overwhelming.
