The end of the year is one of the best opportunities to thank the customers, employees, partners, donors, and vendors who helped make your year successful.
But coordinating a company holiday card campaign can quickly turn into another year-end project: finalize the design, print the cards, clean the mailing list, address envelopes, apply postage, sort everything, and get it into the mail.
JET Print & Mail makes company holiday card campaigns easier by handling both the printing and mailing from our Denver facility.
Provide your artwork and mailing list, and our team can help manage the rest, from professional holiday card printing and personalization to data preparation, addressing, mail processing, and delivery to USPS.
For Denver and Colorado businesses, it means you can send a polished, professional holiday greeting without turning your office into a holiday card assembly line.
What Is a Company Branded Holiday Card?
A company branded holiday card is a professionally printed greeting card that incorporates your organization’s branding while delivering a seasonal message to customers, employees, partners, donors, or other important relationships.
Instead of purchasing generic cards off the shelf, businesses can customize the card with their logo, brand colors, photography, messaging, signatures, and other design elements.
The result feels more personal than another marketing email while still reinforcing your company brand.
Holiday cards can be especially effective for organizations that want to stay connected with customers without making every interaction about a promotion or sale.
A simple “Thank you for your business” or “We appreciate your partnership this year” can go a long way.
Can JET Print & Mail Print and Mail Our Company Holiday Cards?
Yes. JET Print & Mail can provide both holiday card printing and mailing services for businesses in Denver and throughout Colorado.
Instead of coordinating separately with a printer, mailing company, and your internal team, JET can help manage the campaign from print production through mailing.
JET’s Denver direct mail operation provides services including data preparation, address standardization, duplicate removal, NCOA processing, printing, personalization, mail preparation, postal optimization, and delivery tracking.
That makes holiday cards a true print-and-mail campaign rather than an office project.
Send us your finished artwork and customer list, or talk with our team early in the process and we can help determine the best production and mailing approach for your campaign.
How Does Full-Service Holiday Card Mailing Work?
A typical company holiday card project can be surprisingly simple when printing and mailing are coordinated by one provider.
The process can include:
- Artwork preparation: Supply your finished holiday card design or work from an existing branded concept.
- Commercial printing: Cards are professionally printed for consistent color and brand presentation.
- Mailing-list preparation: Customer or employee address data can be standardized, checked, deduplicated, and prepared for mailing.
- Personalization: Depending on the campaign, cards or envelopes can include variable names, company information, messages, or other personalized elements.
- Finishing and inserting: Folded cards can be paired with envelopes, inserted, sealed, and addressed.
- Postal preparation: The mailing is prepared according to applicable USPS requirements and optimized for the appropriate mailing method.
- USPS delivery: Once production is complete, JET handles getting the campaign into the mailstream.
JET already provides combined print, data, and direct mail services from its Denver operation, allowing businesses to consolidate several campaign steps with one partner.
Why Send Printed Holiday Cards Instead of Another Email?
Most businesses communicate with customers digitally throughout the year.
Invoices arrive by email. Newsletters arrive by email. Meeting requests arrive by email. Sales messages arrive by email.
A printed holiday card creates a different kind of interaction.
Recipients physically pick it up, open it, read it, and may even display it on a desk, counter, reception area, or bulletin board throughout the holiday season.
That doesn’t mean your holiday card needs to become an aggressive marketing piece.
In many cases, the absence of a sales pitch is exactly what makes a holiday card valuable.
Use it to thank customers.
Recognize employees.
Celebrate a milestone.
Wish partners a successful new year.
The card keeps your company visible while communicating appreciation rather than immediately asking the recipient to buy something.
Can Company Holiday Cards Be Personalized?
Yes. Digital printing and variable data printing can allow businesses to personalize printed communications from recipient to recipient.
JET’s digital printing capabilities include variable data printing and one-to-one personalization, while its mailing services can integrate customer data into a broader direct mail workflow.
Instead of every recipient receiving exactly the same generic message, a campaign could incorporate a customer’s name, company name, account representative, market, location, or other appropriate variable information.
Even a simple personalized greeting such as “Happy Holidays, Jennifer” can make a mass-produced campaign feel more intentional.
Companies with multiple salespeople or account managers can also explore versions that incorporate different signatures or messages for different groups of customers.
Who Should Receive Your Company’s Holiday Cards?
Your holiday card list does not necessarily need to include every name in your database.
Think about the relationships you most want to recognize going into the new year.
That might include current customers, longtime customers, high-value prospects, referral partners, vendors, employees, donors, volunteers, association members, community partners, or previous customers you would like to reconnect with.
Segmentation can also make the campaign more relevant.
For example, customers could receive a message thanking them for their business, while employees receive a card recognizing their contributions during the year.
The artwork may stay consistent while the message changes based on the audience.
Should You Include a Promotion in a Business Holiday Card?
You can, but you don’t have to.
For many businesses, the strongest holiday card is simply a sincere thank-you.
If you do want the card to generate additional engagement, keep the promotional element secondary to the seasonal message.
A QR code could direct recipients to a holiday video, year-in-review page, customer thank-you message, charitable initiative, special event, or landing page.
The physical card creates the initial interaction while the QR code provides an optional bridge to your digital content.
USPS continues to encourage mailers to combine physical mail with interactive and digital technologies through its promotional programs, demonstrating how print and digital channels can complement one another.
What Types of Company Holiday Cards Can Be Printed?
The format should match your brand rather than looking like something pulled from a generic stationery rack.
A traditional folded greeting card and envelope works well when the objective is relationship building and appreciation. A premium paper stock can create a more substantial feel, while custom envelopes can extend the branding before the card is even opened.
Other businesses may choose oversized cards, postcards, photographic cards, custom folds, or designs featuring employees, completed projects, company milestones, customer stories, or a year-in-review theme.
For companies with a strong Colorado identity, holiday artwork can also incorporate recognizable Denver or Rocky Mountain imagery while keeping the overall design professional and brand appropriate.
When Should Denver Businesses Start Planning Holiday Card Printing?
Earlier is better.
Holiday card campaigns involve more than print production. Artwork needs approval, customer lists need preparation, proofs may need review, cards need production and finishing, and the finished pieces still need time to move through the postal system.
Starting your project early gives your team more flexibility and reduces the pressure that comes with trying to produce a seasonal campaign at the last minute.
It also gives you time to make the card more meaningful rather than simply checking another item off the year-end marketing list.
If holiday cards are part of your year-end communication strategy, September and October are excellent times to begin discussing the project, particularly for larger corporate mailing lists.
Why Use a Local Denver Printer for Your Holiday Card Campaign?
Holiday cards have a firm deadline.
A card wishing someone happy holidays isn’t nearly as useful if it arrives after everyone has returned to work in January.
Working with a local Denver print and direct mail company gives businesses access to a team that can coordinate print production and postal preparation together.
JET Print & Mail operates from 4450 Lipan Street in Denver and provides commercial printing, data preparation, direct mail, mailing-list management, and fulfillment services for businesses throughout the Denver metro area and Colorado.
Rather than printing cards online, shipping boxes back to your office, and asking employees to spend an afternoon stuffing envelopes, your campaign can move directly from production into mailing.
