How to Stand Out on the Busiest Mailing Day of the Year

According to the U.S. Postal Service, today is the busiest mailing day of the year. Almost one billion pieces of mail will pass through post offices today.

How can you make sure your holiday greetings stand out? It’s simple: DON’T mail your cards today!

That’s my strategy. This year I’m sending Happy New Year cards to my professional contacts. I’m hoping people will see the cards as a post-holiday treat when they return to their offices in January.

Have you sent your cards yet? What kind of cards do you send? Share your thoughts!
