Christmas in July
07/30/08
I’ve just returned from the land down under, where the winter season is set and the night brisk air forces me to wear a heavy jacket. I noticed while I was in Australia all the “Christmas in July” parties that were going on at the local clubs. An Aussie told me how it’s strange to hear the holiday jingles “chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” or “walkin’ in a winter wonderland” because Christmas is actually summertime over there. Now I know where the term “Christmas in July” comes from! They’re just making up for all the seasonal feelings that we get during our frosty winter days.
Which brings me to Christmas/Holiday Promotionals!
Even with all the hype that the November-December months are just another “hype,” it’s a great season to show your appreciation to customers, friends, family, and employees. ‘Tis the season to make an extra effort to show your thanks and love.
The early bird gets the worm, right? A word of advice: get your holiday gifts as early as possible to beat the rush and to avoid delays on shipping. How many of us are guilty of procrastination: shopping last minute amidst the angry co-procrastinators, fighting for the best deals and getting that one perfect gift before it runs out!
The same thing goes for corporate and employee gifts. If you need to order personalized items in bulk for your entire clan, start NOW! It takes some time to choose the right gift, get the list of names, production time, and shipping. If you do end up needing gifts last minute, don’t hesitate to call us because we can do rush orders without skimping out on quality. Or perhaps you are head of an organization and need to recognize officers/members at a Winter Banquet. We work with you to find a unique and fitting professional gift. Ask us about special holiday offers.
We’ve started our holiday cards already, 6 months in advance because we’re super excited for the season to come. Don’t worry, if you need us, we got you!
So start thinking about Christmas.. in July!
