For mayors' offices and city government
A Thanksgiving message from the mayor thanks residents, businesses and city staff for the year, with your city's name and seal on it. These Thanksgiving ecards for city government are short animated cards with your city's logo, colors and words, sent by email to the people you choose, and you see the finished card before you pay.
No account until you pay. Communications approves it by link. One price for your whole list.
Since 2003

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

The best Thanksgiving message to residents is short and about the community: thanks for the year, a wish for a safe and happy holiday, and who it is from. Keep it a greeting. Holiday schedules and service changes read best as the card's ending links, not in the message. Start from one of these and change any word.
"This Thanksgiving, I am grateful for the residents, businesses and staff who make our city home. Happy Thanksgiving."
"Happy Thanksgiving from the Office of the Mayor and everyone at the City of [city]."
"Thank you for all you do for our community. Wishing you a warm Thanksgiving."
"Wishing every family in [city] a safe and happy Thanksgiving, with thanks for a year of neighbors helping neighbors."
"Thank you to the businesses, volunteers and partners who made this year's events and services possible. Happy Thanksgiving."
"To everyone who plowed, patrolled, answered, repaired and served this year: thank you. Happy Thanksgiving from the City of [city]."

A printed card from the mayor reaches a short list. A mayor Thanksgiving message sent as an ecard reaches every subscriber, business and partner on your list, at one price, and ends with links to city services.
A card holds one message, so many offices make two: one from the mayor to residents and partners, one to city staff. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.
A city's Thanksgiving card speaks for the whole community, so it reads best as a thank-you and nothing more: no slogans, no announcements, no requests. Thanksgiving carries no faith, only gratitude, so the same card suits every resident on the list. If your office has rules on official messages, such as who may sign them or when they may go out, check the rules that apply to your office before you send.
A message from the mayor usually needs a yes from the mayor's office, communications and sometimes the city manager or the clerk. 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 everyone 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 you say yes.
When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a city at Thanksgiving, that is often the holiday schedule for trash pickup and city offices, the community events calendar, a food drive or volunteer page run by your partners, and the city website. A resident who just watched the mayor's card is one click from the thing they were about to look up.
On a Photo & Text design, the photos are yours too: your main street, your parks, your city hall. Residents see a place they know.
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 residents and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.
