Have you thought about your Christmas offerings yet?

There are only a few months to go, and with COVID-related restrictions having ended, high street retail spending is starting to pick up. Of course, it's not just retailers who can benefit from spreading some Christmas cheer; companies of all types can use the festive season as a marketing opportunity, and to build up customer or client loyalty.

Whether you're looking to get ahead of the retail competition or you simply want to go beyond generic 'Merry Christmas' greetings emails to spread some festive cheer, here are five printing ideas for the festive period to make your business stand out.

1. Christmas Cards

It can be tempting to stick with off-the-shelf Christmas cards, especially if you have a large number of clients, customers or suppliers to send them to. But are you missing a trick? Designing your own Christmas cards to print means sending more thoughtful cards this year; cards that get across exactly the message and the brand image that you want. What's more, once displayed in the recipient's home or business premises, it means they'll get a constant visible reminder of your business, keeping you front of mind.

2. Printed Calendars

Printing desk calendars is a popular choice for businesses looking for easy, affordable and branded Christmas gifts. You'll be able to display your brand name and logo prominently so it's always on display, and when it comes to the choice of photos, the world is your oyster!

While some businesses choose to display pictures for each month that relate to their products or services, others go for generic landscapes, wildlife pictures or other stock photos. Go for photos of the local area if your customer base is purely local, or turn the calendar into a competition, asking customers to submit their own photos for consideration.

3. Christmas Party Accessories

Hosting a work Christmas party? Then why not accessorise with branded printed accessories! Custom selfie booth photo frames can create some great branded memories of the event, while printed and branded Christmas crackers can make for great gifts; just fill them with the items of your choice!

4. Gift vouchers

Gift vouchers are a perennially popular gift option; the perfect choice for friends, family, colleagues and more. By offering gift vouchers as an option for your customers, you'll not only be creating a great gift idea, but you'll also hopefully find yourself with some new customers when the recipients come in to redeem them.

5. Advent calendars

Who doesn't love a chocolate advent calendar! With our printed advent calendars, you'll be able to customise the design on the front, creating a brilliant branded gift that will keep your marketing going from the 1st of December to Christmas itself. You can even customise the pictures and messages behind each door to create something truly personal to your business!
