People tend to send business holiday cards around Thanksgiving, Christmas and the new year. But, did you know there are plenty of other reasons to send greeting cards to the people who work for you? This practice shows you know what’s going on in your employees’ lives, and are supportive of their personal endeavors. Here are a few to consider celebrating with:

Achievement cards
When a member of your staff does something great, reward them with an achievement card. Use our “Warm Welcome Card” to congratulate a new employee, or a “Words Of Praise Congratulations Card” to let someone who made a big sale or had a work anniversary know that you appreciate them. There are also plenty of congratulations cards with a more elegant style, like “Mini Congratulations Card” and “Flourish Congratulations Card.” You’ll find a design for every member of your staff.

Birth congratulations
If someone in your office just became a parent, that’s something big to celebrate! As their boss, you can show them you care by sending a card. Our “Little Toes Birth Congratulations Card” features a black and white photo of a newborn’s foot. It’s a classic example of the simple beauty of a new baby. For a Converse-loving family, opt for our “Baby Shoes Congrats Card” with the red sneakers on the front. For a whimsical option, go with the “Baby Animals Congratulations Card” with colorful drawings of zoo animals on the cover.

Get well cards
Unfortunately, illnesses happen, especially when you spend time together at the office. If one of your employees comes down with a bad cold, consider cheering him or her up with a thoughtful get well card. The “Get Well Bouquet Card” offers your hopes that the recipient gets better soon. Our “Get Well Flowers Card” features yellow and white daisies that are sure to lighten up the desk or home of any of your staff members. If you’re looking for a humorous greeting, check out the “Rest Up Get Well Card” with an adorable dog on the front!

Sympathy cards
Death is a natural part of life, and it’s bound to affect someone in your company. You’re likely to encounter a staff member who has experienced the death of a loved one at some point in the last year. Send him or her comforting words and let him or her know you’re sending happy thoughts with a sympathy card. Our beautiful “Deepest Sympathy” card features stunning white flowers and ornate calligraphy. Give your employees hope with the “Ray Of Light Sympathy Card” with the touching image of a sunrise silhouetting a tree. Our colorful yet graceful “Watercolor Roses Sympathy Card” shares your condolences with the recipient in a lovely blue hue.

Retirement
Nearly everyone has plans to one day retire from their job and spend more time with their family – or even on the golf course. When your employees make this big step, be sure to show them your appreciation for their loyalty and hard work with a greeting card. If they’re headed for warmer weather, opt for the “Drawing Retirement Card” where the writing in the sand spells out your sincerest congratulations. Or, offer them a bouquet of balloons with our “Retirement Celebration Card.” Does a now-former staffer plan to spend his or her upcoming years lakeside enjoying a rocking chair and a fresh breeze? Send the retiree off with our exclusive “Easy Life Retirement Card” featuring a view similar to where he or she is headed.

Your staff members will appreciate your well wishes and maybe even remember to send you a few greeting cards this year. Don’t forget to have everyone in your office sign the card to send your staff member their best wishes!
