Made for a manufacturer

A holiday card that looks like your company

Type your company'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 comes from the company, the leadership team or everyone on the floor.

The result is a manufacturing company holiday card that plays like a short film: your logo, your colors and your words, with music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a manufacturer in blue; press Make this yours and the studio opens it in those colors, ready for your own logo.

What to write in a manufacturing company holiday card

Keep it short and specific to the year you had together. A good holiday message to customers and suppliers fits in two or three sentences: thanks for the work you did together, a wish for the season, and who it is from. Start from one of these and change any word.

To customers

"Thank you for a strong year together. Season's greetings from everyone at [company name]."

"Thank you for your orders, your patience and your trust this year. Wishing you a restful holiday and a great year ahead."

To suppliers and distributors

"To our customers, suppliers and crew: happy holidays and a safe new year."

"Every part we shipped this year started with yours. Thank you, and happy holidays from [company name]."

To your plant and office staff

"Wishing you a well-earned break and a great year ahead."

"To every shift at [company name]: thank you for a year of good work. Enjoy the holidays."

Ecard or printed card for your customers?

Some manufacturers still mail printed holiday cards to customers and suppliers at a handful of key accounts. A holiday ecard reaches everyone else on the list, including buyers and engineers who rarely sit at the address on file.

Who should get your holiday card

Most holiday ecards for manufacturers go to four groups.

  • Customers: buyers, engineers and the people who sign the purchase orders.
  • Suppliers who kept your materials and parts coming.
  • Distributors and reps who sell your products.
  • Your own people: plant and office staff on every shift.

A card holds one message, so many manufacturers make two: one for customers and partners, one for their own staff. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

A greeting for a global list

Customers and suppliers often sit in different countries and keep different holidays, so most manufacturers choose Season's Greetings, Happy Holidays or warm wishes for the new year. Every word on the card is yours to type, so the same design carries whichever greeting fits your list. Some companies send a thank-you at Thanksgiving instead, before the year-end rush on the floor.

A holiday card for every shift

The people on the floor rarely see the company's holiday card, because it goes to customers. Send them one of their own. Copy the customer card, change the message to a thank-you for the year's work, and send it to every shift and office, including the people who never sit at a desk: the card plays full screen on a phone.

Before anything is bought, press Send for approval and pass the link to your plant manager, owner or marketing lead. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account. When it is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes.

Your customer list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Outlook, Mailchimp, Constant Contact or another provider. Your customer list never leaves your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

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 recipients and is kept out of search engines. If your list grows, move up a size in one click and pay only the difference. How each way works · Privacy.

When to send a manufacturer holiday card

Early December is the usual window: after Thanksgiving, and before plants and offices slow down for the holidays. Send it midweek, in working hours, when it lands in an inbox that is being read. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Closing the plant between the holidays? Add your holiday shipping and office hours as one of the card's ending links, so customers know when you are back, and end with a link to your catalog for the first orders of the new year.

Questions manufacturers ask

Many do, because the year depended on both. A holiday card is a thank-you that asks for nothing, and an ecard reaches every buyer, supplier and distributor on your list at one price.
Yes, when it looks like your company. The card carries your logo, your colors and your words, plays on its own page, and arrives in an email designed to carry it. Some companies also mail printed cards to a few key accounts.
Two or three sentences: thanks for the work you did together this year, a wish for the season, and who it is from. Sample lines for customers, suppliers and staff are on this page, and every word is yours to change.
Yes. Send the same card to your team, or build a second one with words just for them.
Yes. Add it to the card's ending links, the row of links shown when the card finishes.
Yes. Send the approval link; they watch the real card, watermarked, with no account and nothing to download.
Early December, after Thanksgiving and before plants and offices slow down, midweek and in working hours.
The words are yours, so choose the greeting that fits your list. Companies with an international list usually choose Season's Greetings or Happy Holidays.
If you send it yourself, yes: we design the email and you send it from your own provider, so the list never leaves your system. If we send it, you import the list and every address is checked before the send.
Your choice: we send it to your list, or you send it from your own email platform with a ready-made email.
Yes. When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose: your website, other pages of yours, and your social accounts.
60 days from the later of your purchase and your last send, and another send extends it.
