December is finally here, and that means two things: cold weather and warm messages from friends, family and business partners in the form of greeting cards. Greeting cards are a wonderful way of spreading holiday cheer, and they get sent out en masse this time of year. According to the Greeting Card Association, about 1.6 billion Christmas cards get purchased every year.
That being said, traditions are changing. People are opting for the convenience of things like email when bringing tidings to those close to them. While email is certainly efficient, it just doesn't have the same intimate feel that a physical piece of paper has. Thankfully, FoIP is here to help you spread good tidings in a personal way with the convenience of digital communications.
Your business partners want a personal message
If you're the head of a business that has close ties with its customers, you probably send out a lot of physical greeting cards this time of year. If you don't, or if you just send out a holiday email, you may not be giving your customers what they want.
"73 % of customers enjoy receiving greeting cards."
An infographic from graphic design firm 99 Designs found that 73 percent of customers enjoy receiving greeting cards from their business associates during the holidays. What's more, the infographic also states that only 25 percent of customers like getting a holiday email around this time.
What this shows is that your customers demand that you have a somewhat intimate presence in their lives. These days, people don't want to deal with faceless corporations. They want a more personal relationship with the companies they do business with, and they want to be treated as friends rather than walking wallets.
Email just doesn't cut it in this regard. Customers want to know you spent time and effort on the message you crafted for them, and email just can't do that as effectively when it comes to greeting cards.
That being said, you simply don't have the time to create and send out hundreds of personal greeting cards. You're a busy person who wants to spend time with your family during this wonderful time of year. Isn't there a way to send out personal cards, without having to make each one individually?
FoIP can help with that
Yet again, FoIP is here to save the day. All you need is a fax machine, a solid Internet connection and an imagination and you can craft and send out countless personal messages to your customers.
