Why you need to start designing your company Christmas card in October

It’s that time of year.

Footy finals are over and Halloween decorations are in the shops.

You’re looking forward to the end of the working year, warmer weather, holidays and celebrations and time off.

All of which means one thing – Christmas is around the corner.

Just as you under-estimate the time it takes to drive to Grandma’s house on a Sunday, you might remember frantically trying to meet a print deadline so your business’ Christmas cards are delivered before recipients down tools for the year.

Good news – we’re here to help.

The process of designing and printing a company’s Christmas card is presented below. From the Design phase to the Print process and everything in between, we hope this helps you put reminders in your calendar.

Factor in another 2 weeks.

Don’t forget to allow an extra week for signing, addressing and getting to the Post Office. Plus another week for delivery by post (it’s busy that time of year).

Don’t know what to send?
