Email Greetings During the Holidays
There are two important emails that will go out during the holidays in the business world: the holiday greeting and the out-of-office schedule reminder. Both are equally important for showing appreciation to employees during this hectic time as year as well as alerting pertinent outages or office closures. Here is the breakdown to achieving both the perfect happy holiday greeting and reminding company contacts of the upcoming changes in schedules.
To review our suggestions for crafting the perfect Holiday Closure Schedule, see our blog post “Holiday Outages and Office Closures”.
The ‘Happy Holidays’ Email Greeting
Sending a digital holiday card is a great way to show your appreciation and develop relationships with clients, business partners and staff. ‘Sending a brief, personalized note to show your gratitude for those who support the business through their work, loyalty or partnership can be a great way to develop and maintain your professional relationships. Composing a short holiday message shows thoughtfulness and may distinguish your business from others.’ [Indeed.com]
How to Create a Holiday Email Greeting
- Identify your audience – Decide who you’re writing and the purpose behind your email. For instance, a message to a client will sound different from a thank-you note to employees or business partners.
- Write a concise subject line – Give your reader a clear idea of what to expect upon opening the message.
- Include branded media – Have your social media team create a seasonal graphic with your company logo expressing your warm wishes.
- Personalize the email – Wherever possible, include client names or acknowledge specific examples of success throughout the year.
Examples of a Holiday Email Greeting
- On behalf of the entire team at [your company name], I am writing to wish you a happy holidays and wonderful new year.
- From our team to yours, we wish you peace and prosperity this season, and we look forward to working with you in the new year.
- I'm writing from [your company name] to thank you for your partnership this year. Here's to a new year that's as wonderful as this one was.
- Season's greetings! Stay safe this holiday season and enjoy all the pleasures the season offers.
