For tourism boards, attractions and destinations
Your destination is the picture. Put it on a holiday card with your name and colors, and send it to past visitors and the partners who bring them. These holiday ecards for tourism boards and attractions are short animated cards with your logo, your photos and your words, sent by email, and you see the finished card before you pay.
No account until you pay. Your director approves it by link. One price for your whole list.
Since 2003
"...we never expected such a positive response in the form of calls and e-mails from our recipients."

"Our clients loved our holiday card..."

"Now, after having sent it to many clients, partners, and guests we know just how much of a WOW the card delivered."

Made for a destination
Type your 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 the photos and every line of text are yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the bureau, the attraction or your whole team.
The result is a tourism holiday card that plays like a short film: your logo, your colors, your photos and your words, with music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your visitors is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. The demo on this page was set up for a destination in deep green; press Make this yours and the studio opens it in those colors, ready for your own logo and photos.
Type your website and the card takes your colors and finds your logo.
On a Photo & Text design, the scenes are yours: your skyline, your trails, your lights.
A watermarked approval link your director or board watches on a phone, with no account.
Your plan-a-visit page, your events calendar or your social accounts, shown when the card finishes.
Put the card on your site as well as in the email, so visitors who never got the email still see it.
The card's page shows how many people actually watched it, and sets no cookies on your visitors.
Three steps
Pick a design, type your website and add your own photos. Your logo and colors come in.
Change the words, watch the finished card play, and send your director 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 destination'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.
Keep it warm, short and about the visit. A good holiday message to visitors thanks them for coming, wishes them a good season, and gives them something to look forward to. Start from one of these and change any word.
"Happy holidays from [destination name]. We can't wait to welcome you back."
"Season's greetings, and see you in the new year."
"Thank you to every visitor and partner who made this year special."
"To the tour operators, hotels and businesses who brought visitors our way: thank you, and happy holidays."
"Thank you for sharing your town with our visitors this year. Happy holidays from all of us at [destination name]."
"Wishing our neighbors a bright holiday season and a busy year ahead."
"To everyone who welcomed a visitor this year: thank you. Enjoy the holidays."
Need more ideas? Fifty more lines are in our holiday card messages for business.
A printed card can only reach the addresses you have. A destination holiday card sent by email reaches every past visitor on your list, and it can carry your own photos.
A card holds one message, so many destinations make two: a holiday email to past visitors and a thank-you to partners. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.
On a Photo & Text design, every photo is yours. Drop in your skyline, your winter trails, your lights festival or your busiest day of the summer, and the card frames them for you. A visitor who has been there sees a place they remember; one who has not sees a reason to come. Need a picture you do not have? Search free stock photos inside the studio.
Many of your visitors do not speak English at home. The same card can be written in any of 22 languages, so a second card can greet them in their own. Have a fluent reader check it before you send.
When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a destination, the first one is usually your plan-a-visit page, so a visitor who just watched your card is one click from next season. Add your events calendar, a page for your winter festival and your social accounts beside it.
Put the card on your own website too. The same card plays on your homepage or your news page, so visitors who never got the email still see it, and you can see how many people watched it there.
A destination's card usually needs a yes from an executive director, a board or a marketing committee. 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.
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.
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 visitors and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
Early December works for most destinations: after Thanksgiving, while people are making plans for the new year. Send it midweek, when it lands in an inbox people are reading. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.
Running winter events? Send the card before they start, and put the events page in the card's ending links. Closed for the season? Say when you reopen, and link to next season's tickets.
