It May Seem Early, But It’s Time to Start Thinking About Your Holiday Mailers

It may feel like summer just ended, but in the world of marketing, the holidays are closer than you think. For businesses, nonprofits, and organizations, planning your holiday direct mail campaigns now is the key to making sure your message lands at just the right time—and

doesn’t get lost in the holiday rush.

Why Start Early?

The holiday season is one of the busiest times of year for marketing. Between shipping delays, packed printing schedules, and the flood of promotional messages hitting mailboxes and inboxes, waiting until November to plan your holiday mailer is simply too late. By starting now, you can:

• Reserve your spot in production schedules before the end-of-year crunch.

• Get creative with design without rushing.

• Target the right audience with a thoughtful, personalized message.

• Stay ahead of competitors who waited until the last minute.

What Makes Holiday Mailers So Effective?

Unlike digital ads that can disappear in a scroll, direct mail is tangible and personal. A well-designed holiday postcard, catalog, or greeting card creates an emotional connection—and in a season all about generosity and togetherness, that connection matters. Whether you’re thanking customers, reaching donors, or promoting holiday specials, direct mail ensures your brand has a place in their homes.

Campaign Ideas to Consider

Not sure where to start? Here are a few holiday mailer ideas that stand out:

• Customer Appreciation Cards – A simple, heartfelt “thank you” goes a long way.

• Holiday Promotions – Share exclusive discounts or gift bundles.

• Donation Appeals for Nonprofits – Year-end giving is the busiest time for donations.

• Event Invitations – Holiday open houses, fundraisers, or celebrations deserve a personal touch.
