Tie Holiday Events to Blogs, Links and Direct Mail

Written by Janet Gifford

I‘ll bet people in your sphere are like most people–the hustle and bustle of gift-buying, party-planning and company-coming makes it hard to sit back and enjoy the Holiday Season. Why not give them some quick ideas on places to go, concerts to attend and fun local activities that will bring the joy of the season back into their lives?

It’s as easy as checking out community and performing arts web sites, along with local and regional newspapers. You’ll find schedules for community concerts, theatre productions and tree-lightening ceremonies. You can find out when Santa will be in town (and where…that Santa sure gets around!). You might learn that your community has an outdoor lighting contest that you didn’t even know about.

Once you have a basic calendar sketched out, you can write a blog on what’s happening and when, or post custom links to your Windermere Premium web site on activities that you think would be interesting to your sphere. But take it one step further by sending out a quick Custom Xpress postcard with a beautiful photo on the front and a note on the back. In the note, list 3 of your favorite activities, then direct folks to your web site for more information.

It’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s a great way to let everyone in your sphere know that you’re thinking about them. And it’s such a deal–for 100, 5.5 x 8 inch postcards mailed for you, you’ll only pay 91 cents each.
