How to Send Corporate Holiday eCards
Sending a corporate holiday ecard is a fast, effective, and eco-friendly way to connect with your clients and team. The key to success is ensuring your message is delivered professionally and makes a great impression. This guide covers the best methods for sending your business ecards, from sending manually via your own email to using a powerful sending platform.
Your Sending Options with eCard Shack
At eCard Shack, we make this process as simple as possible by offering two distinct ways to send your ecard. You can choose the method that best suits your needs for control, convenience, and professional features.
1. The Full-Service Platform (Recommended)
Our "Design & We Send" package gives you access to an all-in-one platform that handles the entire technical process for you. This is the easiest and most powerful way to send your campaign.
After finalizing your design, you'll be guided to our sending platform where you can upload your contact list, personalize each message with the recipient's name, and schedule your ecard to be sent on the perfect date. Our system handles the list validation and professional delivery to help ensure your message avoids spam filters and lands in the inbox.
2. Sending From Your Own Email
If you prefer hands-on control, our "Design & Send Yourself" package allows you to deliver your ecards directly from your own email client (like Outlook or Gmail).
After purchase, you are taken to a dedicated "Sending Instructions" page. From there, you can either copy and paste a static preview of your ecard into a new email or copy a direct link to your ecard to share anywhere. This method gives you complete control over the sending process from your own trusted email address.
Best Practices for eCard Deliverability
Whichever method you choose, ensuring your ecard gets delivered is the top priority. If you are sending your ecard yourself, following these tips is crucial.
- Add a Personal Greeting: Always add a short text message in the body of your email. Emails that contain only an image are often flagged as spam.
- Send in Smaller Batches: Avoid sending to more than 50-100 contacts at once from a personal email account to protect your sender reputation.
- Use the 'Bcc' Field: Protect the privacy of your contacts by placing your main recipient list in the Bcc (Blind Carbon Copy) field.
- Craft a Clean Subject Line: Avoid using ALL CAPS or spammy-sounding words. A simple "Holiday Greetings from [Your Company]" is effective.
