Read Full ArticleDigital communications have changed the way we keep in touch in our business and personal lives but when it comes to Christmas greetings, traditional mail is still the most popular. According to Royal Mail research, 72 percent of people who celebrate Christmas prefer receiving a traditional card to getting a festive message via text or social media.
We love to celebrate the season in familiar and comfortable ways, so much so, that the tradition of sending and receiving Christmas cards has endured for over 170 years. The first card was commissioned back in 1843 – then, a mere 1,000 were printed – today Royal Mail delivers millions of cards year.
When it comes to card design, it seems we’re also a fairly traditional bunch. While 12 percent of research respondents like a humorous card, snow scenes are favoured by nearly a quarter of people.

Now is the time to get organised if your thoughts have turned – as ours have – to cards and presents for your customers, suppliers and contacts around the world.
