Christmas is the one time of year people actually expect a little something from the businesses they use. It doesn’t need to be expensive. A few well chosen bits of print go a long way, and most of them keep your name in front of people well into the new year.
Here are the ideas that work best for the small businesses we print for.
1. Christmas Cards With Your Branding
A printed card with a short handwritten line still beats any email. Put a festive design on the front and your logo small on the back. We print greeting cards in different sizes, and you can order them blank inside so there’s room to write.
2. Gift Tags For Every Order
If you sell online or wrap things up in a shop, a printed gift tag turns a parcel into a present. Logo on one side, space for a message on the other. They cost pennies each and people often keep them.
3. Branded Wrapping Paper
This is the one people remember. Custom wrapping paper with your logo or pattern makes every order look like it came from a much bigger shop. It’s brilliant for gift shops, hampers and makers who sell at Christmas markets.
4. Personalised Christmas Crackers
For a works do, a client lunch or a restaurant’s Christmas menu, personalised crackers with your branding on the outside are a nice touch. They sit on every place setting and end up in everyone’s photos.
5. Mugs For Staff And Regulars
A personalised mug is a gift that gets used every single day. Put your logo on it for staff and good customers, or a fun Christmas design for a one off. We wrote more about this in our post on personalised mugs as Christmas gifts.
6. A Calendar For The New Year
A calendar is the gift that works for twelve months. A desk calendar sits next to someone’s keyboard, and a wall calendar goes up in kitchens and staff rooms. Have a read of which calendar to choose before you order.
7. Window Stickers
If you have a shop front, window clings are a quick way to dress it for Christmas. They peel off in January with no mess, so you can swap them for a sale design.
8. Christmas Flyers
Opening hours, Christmas offers and last order dates all go nicely on a flyer. Pop one in every bag from November and your customers won’t be caught out.
Order Early, It Gets Busy
Print gets very busy from mid November, so the sooner your files are in, the less there is to worry about. If you don’t have a design yet, pick Use Our Designer when you order and we’ll put something together for you.
