This is a great time to start thinking about offering Christmas cards to your readers.

Start brainstorming ideas now for a few holiday ideas, polish them up and work on the art. There are a number of online printers (see the link above) who have done great jobs printing high-quality cards. You’ll also want to plan for shipping, so check out Uline for packaging options.

Given the recent retail trend towards offering Christmas merchandise in October, your competition is going to be on the shelves in a couple weeks (if not already). Get yours out on your Web site soon!
