The Rules of Sending Business Birthday Cards
When it comes to sending business birthday cards, you need to first consider whether or not you should send them. Once you have decided that you should send business birthday cards, you then need to consider that this should be done in the most professional passion. You need to determine what type of business birthday cards to send and how to address the envelope.
Business birthday cards can do many things for your business and professional relationships, including:
- · Enhance business relationships
- · Attract new customers
- · Remind your old clients you exist
· Show appreciation to your clients who have been supportive
When sending business birthday cards, it’s important to use proper business birthday cards etiquette. What is meant as well meaning can come off wrong if you choose the wrong birthday cards.
Start with good quality business birthday cards, not something that feel cheap, like a car dealership would send old clients. You want a good quality card that is made of good paper. Skimping on your selection of business birthday cards may be interpreted wrongly and the gesture will not appear so sincere. You don’t want your recipients to take the good gesture in a bad way. Good business birthday cards are worth the extra money.
Make sure you have the person’s birthday right and that you have up-to-date name and address information. If it is a woman who has gotten married, you obviously want to send the card under her new name, for instance. This way you won’t embarrass yourself or offend that person.
Sign your business birthday cards personally. Include a hand-written signature and short birthday message on all business birthday cards.
Handwrite the address. Don’t use computer-generated labels for the person’s name and address on business birthday cards. It is okay if you use a printed return label as that is common, but recipient addresses should be handwritten. You don’t want your business birthday cards to appear impersonal.
Be sensitive to traditions.
Business birthday cards can be a very nice gesture and make a business partner or associate’s day, particularly if you know each other well and the business birthday cards are high quality and tasteful.
