Professional & Personal: Business Holiday Card Etiquette for 2025

Small business owners need cards that feel personal but stay professional. Use this checklist to land on desks before the rush without derailing your week.

When to send

• Target delivery by Dec 15 so it arrives before PTO starts.
• If you miss that window, pivot to a “Happy New Year” send in early January.

Who to send to

• Clients: Active accounts, high-potential prospects, and past VIPs you want to re-engage.
• Employees: Everyone on payroll plus contractors who are core to delivery.
• Partners: Vendors who rescued a project, agencies, and referral partners.

What to write (inclusive + concise)

• Lead with gratitude: “Thank you for trusting us with ___ this year.”
• Keep greetings inclusive: “Happy Holidays” or “Season’s Greetings” for broad audiences.
• Add momentum: one line about a win or milestone, one line about what’s next.
• Sign from real people, not just the logo: include first names and titles.

Why AI-generated cards save time

• Upload a team photo, pick a professional template, and export print-ready art in minutes.
• Keep branding consistent (logo placement, colors, fonts) without a designer on standby.
• Easily version cards for clients vs. employees by swapping a headline, not rebuilding layouts.
• No studio day needed—polish lighting, remove cluttered backgrounds, and match brand colors automatically.
