How to Make Your Corporate Christmas Gift Cards Memorable

As the year draws to a close and Christmas approaches, most of us have begun to think about sending off Christmas cards to our friends and family. Many people will also take the time to organise Christmas cards for their work colleagues. Considering how much time you spend together, taking a few moments to send well wishes to your teammates after a long year can help foster great workplace relations. Gift cards are a quick, easy and thoughtful way to finish off a great year of smashing work goals together. But, what are the best cards to send to your colleagues? How do you make your corporate gift cards memorable?

Personalise the cards

Taking the time to write a little something special in the cards that you’re giving out can go a long way towards showing your teammates just how much you appreciate them and their hard work. This small personal touch is a great way to not only add value to your card but make it more memorable as well. You can also take the time to add a personal touch to the image on the card as well. Whether it’s something as small as adding dried or paper flowers or sticking on glitter or a festive bow, Christmas cards with a personal touch are always appreciated.

Try corporate branding

A great part of what makes a team successful is its ability to work together. Personalising your Christmas gift cards with your business branding can act as an extension of that successful team spirit. Receiving a card that has elements of the company branding paired with a personalised message is a fantastic way to make your Christmas cards eye-catching.

Choose an eye-catching or unique design

Choosing or creating an eye-catching design is a great way to ensure that your corporate cards are memorable. You may choose to go with a fun, colourful, festive design such as snowflakes and reindeer, or you may opt to run with your brand's colour palette. If you’re stuck for ideas on the best eye-catching designs, you can always have a look online. Alternatively, you can also create a unique design using your company’s logo and see what you come up with. Sometimes this can be as simple as adding your company logo onto Christmas baubles that are decorating a Christmas tree. You should easily be able to incorporate it into a festive themed design. A little creativity can produce some fantastic images.

The style of design is up to you. You can choose to go for a minimalist vibe and keep the cards simple and sleek, or you can pick a busier colourful design that practically shouts Christmas spirit. Whatever design you decide to choose, remember to keep it clean and professional. The best corporate Christmas cards are often simple and portray a positive message.

Choose a powerful and festive message

When it comes to writing your Christmas cards, taking the time to write a meaningful and positive message can make your cards really stand out. Add a different one to each card and spend some time finding messages that relate to the recipients. This personal touch adds a wealth of value to each card and shows that you have gone above and beyond. Your message could be congratulating them on a project they did particularly well in or thanking them for their help throughout the year. You may want to write a festive message that touches on a personal interest or passion of the recipient. It can be as simple as “Wishing you and your furbaby a pawsome Christmas and a yappy New Year” for the dog lover in your office.

However, we don’t always have a lot of spare time in such a busy period of the year. If you don’t have the time to personalise a card for every single team member, you can always choose a message or affirmation that is adaptable and heartfelt. Such a message can be used in every card and will make your corporate card gifting that much easier. Something simple, heartfelt and appreciative will go a long way towards making your cards well thought out and memorable.

Add a little gift

While you may not have the time to buy every one of your work colleagues a Christmas present, you can always think about adding a little treat or small gift to each Christmas card you give out. It can be something simple such as attaching a bar of small chocolate to the cover of each card. This is a fantastic way to add that extra special touch to your cards and give your coworkers something delicious to snack on at work. Consider buying gourmet snacks and wrapping small pieces into little individual handcrafted wrappers. Your corporate colleagues will be delighted with the tasty extra attached to their gift cards.

Making your corporate gift cards memorable is easy.

By simply putting some time and thought into your corporate Christmas cards, you can make them stand out from the crowd. When you spend so much time with your colleagues, you want to show them how much you appreciate them and their hard work. By taking the time to put together some well thought out Christmas gift cards, you can not only make them memorable but show your coworkers how much you appreciate them and their hard work throughout the year.
