Corporate Thanksgiving Card Tips (With 5 Great Examples!)

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It is time to send messages and cards to family, friends, and clients during this holiday season. So, are you racking your brain to find the right message? Writing a note of gratitude to friends and family might be simple but what about maintaining professionalism with clients? Tricky, ain’t it?

Worry not, in this blog post, we share examples of Thanksgiving wishes that you can customize to suit your clients as well as some do’s and don’ts you must keep in mind while in the process. After all, writing such messages requires some creativity and planning, especially when it comes to expressing gratitude.  

Here’s your chance to break the mould when it comes to year-end tidings! When you reflect on what and who you are grateful for in general and over the past year, saying “Happy Thanksgiving” can be much more heartfelt. Sharing a sentimental or humorous message of gratitude this season will make the recipient’s day all the more enjoyable. 

Why should you send your corporate clients cards and messages for Thanksgiving?

Even if you don’t start a company-wide campaign, perhaps custom corporate Thanksgiving cards with personalized messages can show your appreciation. Thanksgiving is a meaningful time to say thanks, and a simple thank you goes a long way. Here are three reasons why you should send your clients these Thanksgiving cards:

To surprise your clients 

A company with human qualities is more likely to attract customers. This unexpected gesture in November will enhance the human element of Thanksgiving greeting cards. This holiday season, be the first to wish them well with appreciation cards sent before Christmas, so your greetings won’t get lost in the December mailbox clutter. 

To encourage sales during the holidays

The Thanksgiving holiday marks the start of a busy season for many people. By showing your gratitude in November, you will also strategically position yourself during a time when customers will be ready to make a purchase. Your brand and products will be on the top of their minds during this busy sale season.

To build brand patronage

Customer loyalty is created when you take care of them, which increases the likelihood of repeat business. Your service is in their hearts and they would want to return the favor by spreading the word about you/your business. Make sure you highlight the reasons your brand is worth every penny outside the holiday rush so you can maximize the attention you receive! 

Here Are Some custom corporate Thanksgiving Card Messages You Can Write to Your Clients  

Keep your Thanksgiving message short, sweet, and positive while avoiding a sales pitch when you write a message to clients. Here are some examples:

1. Your support this year has been invaluable to our small business. Your loyalty is greatly appreciated and we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.   
2. We wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. It was a pleasure doing business with you in 2022!   
3. Your continued business means a lot to us! A happy Thanksgiving to you!   
4. We at [Company Name] are grateful for your patronage in 2022 and wish you a delicious Thanksgiving.   
5. Thank you so much for supporting your local business, [Business Name]. Your loyalty is greatly appreciated. Wish you a happy Thanksgiving. 

Here are some pointers before you draft those messages: 

Don’t focus on 2022’s negatives:

Thanksgiving messages shouldn’t be depressing – the negative vibes have been enough lately. The way to go is to acknowledge the hardships of the past year and then shift the message to something more positive. Many people around the world had a hard time in 2022, even if 2020 and 2021 were tougher. 

Bring the positive into the spotlight!   

Focus on something positive about the future rather than dwelling on the past. Be sure to include something you appreciate about your recipient as well. 

Express your gratitude!  

Make sure to thank the recipient in the note. Let your clients know that you value their presence in your life. Something as simple as this will make the recipient feel appreciated. 

Keep it short 

Just a short and sweet greeting expressing your gratitude should do the trick. Writing a message on a greeting card can be challenging owing to the limited space available. One hack for this is to get your message printed.  

With these tips, we hope that you can arrive at the message you want to deliver to your clients while not going overboard. That said, you have an option of writing all those messages on the cards individually by hand (which we know is painstaking) or you could be smart and get them printed at Smart Resolution.
