Business Holiday cards.....adding your web site ok?

What is your opinion? If you were to receive a holiday card from a vendor that you give your business to, and they in turn send a holiday card of thanks, would it be okay to add your web site address at the bottom? Just wondering if it ends up being pushy or not. What's your thoughts? Please let me know if you're on the receiving business end of getting a card of thanks. This would help my decide.

This web site address would be typed out, not hand written.

Yes of course. It is afterall a business holiday card. Some may not be familiar with the business name, but recognize the website URL.

We've been sending holiday card for years and it always includes our company name and URL. Always.

Sending a business holiday card is different from a personal card afterall, in the sense that it is a tool to remind your customers about you and give thanks to them for dealing with you -- and that means reminding them how to reach you and use your company again. A business holiday card is a marketing tool, hence you need to put all your contact information in there including the URL.

If the web address is printed as part of the card itself, one would expect it as business greeting cards are just advertising. Writing in your web address by hand after a hand written comment or signature would be a bit much and tacky.

You should expect to include your business details in any business related communication, including holiday greetings. It should be printed along with other contact details.

The personalized part of this will be your hand-written signature and possibly a small addition of thanks.

You MUST include your website address in Everything you send out! Even condolence cards etc...(well, maybe not condolence cards, lol).

You have to get in the habit of promoting always- no one will think you are crass if it is done tastefully and simply in the footer of the communication. Make it look kind of like a footnote, you know?

But do it- always. That is the only way you are going to build your brand and acheive max exposure for your name and site on the web.

discretly n in gd taste shd b fine!

Yes, it is fine. Especially if you offer customer service of any capacity at your website.

I agree that it should be typeset, and in good taste. It is the handwritten part that should be personal. However, keep that part short and sweet too.

Just remember the purpose is to offer Season's Greetings, not to mention your "Super Huge Clearance Blowout Extravaganza SALE". Keep that in mind (and judging by your question, I can tell you have), and you'll do fine.
