This year I refuse to send Christmas cards. Not only is it costly but its a complete waste. How many trees can you save by using alternative solutions.
Not only can you help make a small dent in saving the earth (and money) it saves you running around your shop/living room picking cards up off the floor every time someone shuts a door or walks past them!!!!!
For Example, I will send E-cards to my customers via E-mail with a Freebie treatment to be used with a spend of £30 or more, and asking my clients that if they wish to give me a card could they instead write on christmas card tree. I am putting up a tree with gift tags underneath that friends and clients can write a message and hang on the tree. Nice little decoration, less clutter, and less waste!!!
I have also asked my clients to write a cheque or postal order to breast cancer awareness charity instead of bringing in wine, chocolate or flowers. I have said in my newsletter (via e-mail) that I appreciate all the lovely presents that I recieve however as things are tight at the minute I would prefer my clients to keep their money and treat themselves instead. If they feel like they do want to give me something as its their tradition, to instead write a cheque or P/O to breast cancer awareness campaign. A much better cause than chocolates I am sure you will agree.
Any way, Heres my Christmas Greeting to everyone (albeit a bit early, but I will probably be too busy on the run up to xmas).
