Tips for writing it
Business holiday card messages work best when they do three things: thank the client for something real, wish them a good season, and look ahead without selling. Leave out promotions, discount codes and “let’s schedule a call in January.” A client should feel thanked, not marketed to. Use inclusive wording such as “happy holidays” or “season’s greetings,” since you rarely know how each client celebrates, and sign with a real person’s name so it doesn’t read like an automated email.
For key accounts, make a separate card with their name and one specific line about the year, such as a launch you worked on or a problem you solved together. For everyone else, one card link in a short email is perfectly professional. Send in the first two weeks of December, before your clients’ offices close; in 2026 many businesses slow down from around December 18, ahead of Christmas on Friday, December 25.
Frequently asked questions
What should a holiday message to clients say?
Thank them for their business or partnership, wish them a happy and restful season, and offer good wishes for the new year. Mentioning one shared project makes it personal. Avoid sales language entirely.
Is it appropriate to send holiday ecards to clients?
Yes, especially when the card is well designed and the message is personal. Ecards arrive instantly, can’t get lost in a mailroom and suit remote clients. Many businesses send ecards to their full list and a printed card or gift only to a few key accounts.
Should business holiday cards be religious?
Generally no. Unless you know a client’s traditions well, “Happy holidays” or “Season’s greetings” is the professional standard. It includes everyone without making assumptions.
When is too late to send a client holiday card?
After about December 18 many people are already out of the office and cards get buried. If you miss that window, turn it into a New Year’s greeting and send it in the first week of January.
Can I put our company name and logo on the card?
You can sign the card with your company name and team in the message. The link itself is private and free to share, and you can download the card as a video or image if you want to add it to a branded email.
