Putting something in the mail really makes you stand out. And just think how much we're saving the rest of the year because of email. Karin: I understand about getting in the holiday mood. But September?! What on earth have you been doing? Making inventory? I can't wait until the 24-hour Christmas music starts. Drives my husband batty, but I love it. Lauren: Like it ever gets smaller. Dreamin'! Philip: Agreed! Putting something in the mail really makes you stand out. And just think how much we’re saving the rest of the year because of email.

(since i've been working on holiday season prep since september!) ♥karinsart i agree with posting vs. emailing holiday greetings.

It is really time consuming. Unfortunately in the last few years postage rates have skyrocketed, turning the poor postal carrier into a delivery person for the corporate bulk mailers. Despite this, I know it works for artists. It ain't high tech, but a card makes a more tangible impact than email announcements. Artists should use both.
