Question:
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I send every customer who has done business with me at least twice in the past 24 months and once within the past 12 months a Christmas card… If you were to send me an xmas card you would never again do business with me. What makes you think all your customers want to share in your xtian beliefs? What about Quanza and Chaunnika and Ooga booga and other boogie man believers?
Just speaking from my personal viewpoint here… When I speak about the cards that one sends during the holiday period, I use the term Christmas Card – However, when I SEND them (I do that every 5 years or so) they always say Seasons Greetings or Happy Holidays, and have a basic winter scene, nothing xtian about them at all. So it’s possible that the cards Pesto sends are in fact suitable for all of his customers. And if not, well every customer he alienates is another customer for the rest of us. :-) Giftmas is coming, do you have your auctions ready? ObAMOE: When is the best time (of the month/year) to list giftmas-themed gifts? Do online shoppers wait for the day after Thanksgiving, or are they out in masse before that? jc

I don’t think a card is really quite on the order of knocking on your door and trying to convert you. I’m happy to get good wishes from any denomination. Merry Christmas, ya Grinch. :P -Bertha — Daniel: That’s interesting. I wonder if everyone’s coming from some religious event. O’Neill: Why does it always have to be a religious thing with you? Maybe they’re coming from a swap meet.

As do I.. Christmas cards from friends and family have a genuine reason behind them. Christmas cards from suppliers, sellers and the local take-away annoy me, because it is junk mail..if a seller sent me a Christmas card I see no difference between that and a mailshot brochure..it’s a selling gimmick nothing else. And this is the first time I’ve typed the word "Christmas" since last year…noooooooo….it’s October..it’s not December, it’s not Christmas, and I think I’m going to go "accidentally" knock some decorations down in the shops that already have them up tomorrow. Humbug.

I used to get xmas cards from my former lawyer, who is Jewish. I said to him: "Councellor, neither you nor I celebrate xmas, why don’t you save the cost of the card and stamp and take me off of your list". His reply: ‘Ok. Call back and ask for Gloria, my office mgr. She should be able to take you out of the data base.’ It never worked. Gloria wasn’t able to purge me. I got a card next year and fired him as my lawyer. Gloria is STILL not able to purge me. I still get xmas cards from him and I haven’t been his client for years. I’ve changed states and addresses, but I still get cards. It’s all about giving, I’m told. Lumpy — In Your Ears for 40 Years http://www.lumpymusic.com

I try to buy again from the best sellers. Have sent actual paper thank you mail (e. g.pix of a card I made using one item’s photo) sometimes. AFAIAC the seller can sell the thank-you card. (Postcard of NYC etc.)

When I e-mailed him about it he said he was so happy to get it that he sent a bonus. It was a well known (dead) performers nephew. Walt.

I send every customer who has done business with me at least twice in the past 24 months and once within the past 12 months a Christmas card. Online customer or face to face it does not matter. Many customers send me cards. A few send me a birthday card. Now I went above and beyond more than once for a customer. That’s just the way I am. Most customers will at least say thank you. One customer gave me a $10 gift certificate at his liquor store. Purchased a $3.49 bottle of Andre Brut (really not bad for a cheap champagne) and a $7.99 jug of Carlo Rossi Sangria (what can I say, I’m Italian) and the total came to $12.43 with the tax. I gave my customer his gift certificate and was fumbling for some singles. He says "Pesto, (honestly my nickname for many years) your money is no good here!" and hands me the bag. In my house we drink a lot of inexpensive table wines. Rossi, Almaden, Livingston, sometimes something a little better. We probably drink close to 1 liter of wine a day in my house. I drink 1-2 glasses. So does my wife. My nephew lives with us, he has a glass of wine with dinner now too. He’s 22, it’s OK. Of course the wine bill is around $15 a week in my house. I know I could take advantage of a good customer and never pay for wine. At the same time, I feel bad when I go to a competitor of his. I try to go in when he’s not at the register or insist he takes my money. It is an awkward situation. He’s really happy that I have done work for him. I’m glad to do it. I don’t believe that entitles me to a free supply of wine for the rest of my life.

Never received a "gift", but I did get a 20% tip this week. The buyer was a bit slow in mailing their money order (received it in 10 days) & added 20% with an apology for being late.
