For hotels, inns and resorts
Send last year's guests a card that looks like your hotel, and end it with a reason to come back. These holiday ecards for hotels are short animated cards with your logo, your colors and your words, sent by email to past guests, corporate accounts and event planners, and you watch the finished card before you pay for anything.
No account until you pay. Your general manager approves it by link. One price for your whole list.
Since 2003

Made for a hotel
Type your hotel's website address and the card takes your brand 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 is signed by the hotel, the whole team or your general manager.
What you get is a hospitality holiday ecard that plays like a short film, with your logo, your colors, your words and music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your guests is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a hotel in blue and navy; press Make this yours and the studio opens the same design in those colors, ready for your own logo and words.
Type your hotel's website and the card takes your colors and finds your logo.
A watermarked approval link your general manager, owner or brand team watches on a phone, with no account.
Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or your own words, signed from the hotel, the team or the general manager.
Your booking page, your New Year events or your restaurant, shown when the card finishes.
Send it yourself from your own email platform, and the list never leaves your system.
The card's page shows how many people actually watched it, and sets no cookies on your guests.
Three steps
Pick a design and type your hotel's website. Your logo and colors come in.
Change the words, watch the finished card play, and send your general manager the approval link.
Pick your list size and buy. We send it, or you send it from your own email platform.
The catalog
The demo above is one of 51 holiday designs, and every one of them takes your hotel's logo, colors and words. Press Change Colors to see a design in your colors, Preview to watch it, or Customize to open it in the studio.
Write it for the guest, not the revenue report. A good holiday message to hotel guests thanks them for the stay, wishes them a good season, and says who it is from. Two or three sentences is plenty, and it reads best without a rate or a promotion in it. Start from one of these and change any word.
"Season's greetings from all of us at [hotel name]. We hope to welcome you again soon."
"Thank you for choosing us this year. Happy holidays."
"Thank you for trusting us with your teams, your meetings and your events this year. Season's greetings from [hotel name]."
"With thanks for a good year together, and best wishes for the holidays and the year ahead."
"Wishing you a warm holiday season and happy travels in the new year."
"Thank you for every guest you sent our way this year. Happy holidays from the team at [hotel name]."
"To everyone who worked a holiday so our guests could enjoy theirs: thank you. Happy holidays from [hotel name]."

Many hotels still mail printed hotel holiday cards to their biggest accounts. A holiday ecard for guests reaches everyone who stayed this year, at one price, wherever they are.
A card holds one message, so many hotels make two hotel holiday cards: a warm one for guests and a thank-you for accounts and partners. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.
A hotel's guest list spans countries, faiths and languages, so most hotels choose Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or a wish for the new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting fits your guests. For guests who read another language, copy the card and write the second one in theirs.
When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a hotel, the first is usually your booking page, so a guest who just enjoyed your card is one click from next year's stay. Put your New Year's Eve dinner, your spa or your winter packages page beside it, and your social accounts.
On a Photo & Text design, the photos are yours too: your lobby dressed for the season, a room with a view, the terrace under snow. A past guest sees the place they remember, and the card ends where they can come back to it.
December is the busiest month at the front desk, and a hotel's card often needs a yes from the general manager, an owner or a brand team. 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 the people who sign off can watch it on a phone between check-ins.
Once 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 housekeepers, cooks, night auditors and valets keep the hotel running while everyone else is on holiday. A card made just for them, from the general manager, says thank you in the hotel's own colors. Make it from the same account, with words for the team instead of the guests.
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 guests and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
The first two weeks of December are the usual window: after Thanksgiving, and before guests and planners leave for the holidays. Send it midweek, when it lands in an inbox people are reading. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.
Planning a New Year's Eve event? Send the card early in December with the event as one of its ending links. The card's page stays live for 60 days from the later of your purchase and your last send, so a guest who opens it in January still finds it, and another send extends it.
