Christmas emails are almost upon us
Posted by Mathew Patterson on October 10, 2007
No doubt your clients will be reminding you of this shortly, but the time for those seasonal promotion emails, thank you notes and last minute offers is marching towards us like an army of Santas.
For the last couple of years we have run a Christmas email competition showcasing some great designs, and giving away some prizes.
We'll be doing the same thing again this year, so this is your fair warning to get cracking on some unique, effective Christmas email design. Businesses tend to ramp up their email sending at this end of the year, so if you can offer your clients a tweaked holiday design it could pay off for them, and for you.
If you need some inspiration, check out our previous winners for 2006 and for Christmas 2005. For Christmas and holiday related imagery iStockPhoto is always a good option, as is stock.xchng.
We'll announce further details as the holiday season gets closer, so watch the blog for prizes, and get started on the winning design!
