For elected officials, offices and political organizations
A year-end thank-you to supporters, volunteers and the people you serve, with your name and colors on it. It can end with a link to your site. These holiday ecards for elected officials are short animated cards with your office's logo, colors and words, sent by email to constituents, supporters, volunteers and community partners, and you see the finished card before you pay.
No account until you pay. Your chief of staff approves it by link. One price for your whole list.

Made for an office
Type your office's website address and the card takes your colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then every line of text is yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from you, from your office or from your committee.
The result is an elected official holiday card that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. On a Photo & Text design you can add your own photos of the district and the people in it. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your constituents is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for an elected official's office; press Make this yours and the studio opens it, ready for your own logo.

The holiday notes that read best from an office are short: thanks for the year, a wish for the season, and who it is from. A good holiday message to constituents is about the community, not a record of the year and not a request. Write a different card for each audience if the words should change. Start from one of these and change any word.
"Season's greetings, and thank you for a year of working together for our community."
"Wishing you and your family a joyful holiday season."
"Thank you for the honor of serving you this year. Warm wishes for the holidays and a happy new year."
"To our volunteers and supporters: thank you. Happy holidays and a happy new year."
"Every hour you gave and every neighbor you helped made a difference this year. Thank you, and happy holidays."
"Thank you for everything you do for our neighbors. Season's greetings from all of us at the office."
"To the team who answered every call and every letter this year: thank you. Rest well over the holidays."

Many offices still mail a printed holiday card to constituents on a short list. A holiday ecard reaches everyone on your email list, at one price, and you see the finished card first.
A card holds one message, so many offices make two: one from the office to constituents, and one from the committee to supporters and volunteers. Copy the first card, change the words and the name it is signed with, and both live in the same account.
An office serves people of every faith and none, so the greeting is usually Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or best wishes for the new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting your office uses. Some offices send a thank-you at Thanksgiving as well.
A card from an office usually needs a yes from the official, the chief of staff and whoever handles communications. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so anyone who signs off can watch it on a phone between meetings.
When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until someone says yes.
Your office decides every word on the card, the name it is signed with and the list it goes to. Offices, committees and campaigns often have their own rules on official communications, on mass mailings and on which list a message may go to. Check the rules that apply to your office or committee before you send. We make the card; we don't advise on those rules.
There are two ways to send, at the same price.
Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your constituents and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
Early to mid December is the usual window: after Thanksgiving, and before offices close for the holidays. Send it midweek, in working hours, when it lands in an inbox rather than a long weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.
Want readers to have somewhere to go next? Add your website, your newsletter sign-up or your holiday office hours as the card's ending links, the row of links shown when the card finishes. The card itself stays a thank-you.
