Plano, TX November 28, 2006 -- CardsDirect, a company specializing
in business holiday cards and business Christmas cards, is pleased to report record
sales over the past year.
"Sales have increased more than 25 percent over the prior year as more and more
companies are choosing to send traditional Christmas cards and Holiday Cards to
their clients, business partners, and employees," says Michael Swart, Vice President
of Marketing for CardsDirect.
According to CardsDirect, Penguin themed cards are apparently very popular this
year, most likely driven by Warner Bros.' newly released family movie, "Happy Feet."
In addition, there has also been a surge in popularity for religious themed cards
and using the "Merry Christmas" greeting this year as many companies are swaying
back to more traditional themed messages.
Other Business Christmas card options include Christmas tree designs, humorous Christmas
cards, golf themes, patriotic themes, polar bears, snowflakes, Santa designs, Snowman
designs and much more. CardsDirect even offers photo cards, customized logo cards
and occupation-specific cards.
In addition to thousands of individuals and other smaller businesses who have already
ordered the company's cards, nine out of 10 companies on the Fortune 100 list --
including Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., General Motors Inc. and General
Electric Co. -- have previously entrusted CardsDirect to supply them with their
holiday card needs.
Swart urges companies to order cards now before the most popular selections are
sold out and to provide time for shipping and mailing.
