Business Holiday Card Tips

Increase Retention Rates with Business Holiday Cards
In a world where email and text messaging is becoming our primary means of communication, it's the personal touch of a hand-signed and delivered business holiday card that will build your business relationships.


Sending holiday cards is a proven way to build business relationships. One study compared sales representatives who participated in a program of regular greeting card mailings to their clients (at least 4 per year) with those who did not. The sales representatives who participated had a 5% better customer retention rate than those who did not.

Not only do vendor-client relationships grow because of greeting card programs, but internal team relationships can benefit, too. Managers who send a card to their employees’ homes make a huge impression! Receiving the card at home is unexpected and has a greater impact on the employee. Plus, they can share it with friends and family for extra reinforcement.



Great relationships are key to business success, like all relationships, they require time and attention to remain strong! The first step to success is showing your attention and appreciation. With a simple, low-cost business holiday card program you'll be on your way to business – and relationship – greatness!

Baudville Raises $1,000 for Gilda’s Club of Grand Rapids!

Last week, I told you how the Baudville team was purchasing casual day stickers in an effort to raise money for Gilda’s Club. You can read all the details of this fundraiser and the book drive we did for Gilda’s Club earlier this summer right here on the blog.

We wrapped up our fundraising drive earlier this week and are proud to announce that we raised $1,000 for Gilda’s Club! Our total is a combination of contributions from employees, a company match through Baudville’s Helping Hand, and an additional generous match by our company founder and chairman.

Since October was Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it seemed appropriate that we should spend our final casual day sporting pink.

Thank you to all the employees who contributed to the cause!
