The 8 Rules of Business Greeting Card Etiquette
下面是8條商務(wù)賀卡禮儀小法則

1.Buy Quality Cards
1. 選擇有質(zhì)量的賀卡

Start with a good quality business greeting card to show that you value your clients and colleagues.
一開始選擇有質(zhì)量的賀卡可以讓客戶和同事知道你很珍惜你們之間的關(guān)系。

2. Update Your List
2. 更新聯(lián)系人名單

Make sure your list is up-to-date with correct names and addresses. If you do this on a regular basis, it does not become a dreaded holiday chore.
確保你的聯(lián)系人名單已經(jīng)正確地記錄對方的名字和地址。如果你有規(guī)律地做這件事，節(jié)日的時候就不會變成可怕的工作了。

3. Sign Cards Personally
3. 親自撰寫賀卡留言

Even if you have preprinted information on the business greeting card such as your name, you need to add your handwritten signature. The most elegant business greeting cards should have your personal signature and a short handwritten message.
即使你已經(jīng)把信息（如名字）預(yù)先打印在賀卡上了，你也需要為其加上自己的手寫簽名。通常最優(yōu)雅大方的商務(wù)賀卡應(yīng)該包含個人的親筆簽名和一小段手寫的留言。

4. Handwrite the Address
4. 手寫地址

If you are ready to throw up your hands at this point and forget the whole project, then have someone else address the envelopes for you. Don't use computer-generated labels. They are impersonal and make your holiday wishes look like a mass mailing.
如果你打算全程拋棄手寫的方法，那么就算了吧，讓別人幫你填寫信封的封面。不用用電腦生成的標(biāo)簽。不僅看起來沒有人情味還讓你的節(jié)日祝福看起來像群發(fā)的郵件。

5. Mail to Home Address
5. 郵寄到對方的家庭地址

Mail your business greeting card to the home if you know the small business owner. Be sure to include the spouse's name. The card is not sent to both husband and wife at the business address unless they both work there.
如果你知道對方的家庭地址，那么就請寄到他的家里吧。還要確保把對方配偶的名字附上。因?yàn)檫@張以商務(wù)賀卡不是寄給夫妻兩人的，除非他們都在同一個地方工作。

6. Use Titles
6. 使用頭銜稱呼

Whether you are addressing the envelope to an individual or a couple, titles should always be used. It's "Mr. John Doe," not "John Doe," or "Mr. and Mrs. John Doe, rather that "John and Mary Doe."
無論你在信封的開頭稱呼個人還是夫妻，頭銜都是必須的。如 John Doe先生，而不是John Doe,或John Doe先生和女士，而不是John和Mary Doe。

7. Be Sensitive to Traditions
7. 注意傳統(tǒng)習(xí)慣

Find out whether your business greeting card recipients observe Christmas, Hanukah, or Kwanzaa. Make sure your message is appropriate for each individual.
了解收信人是否過節(jié)日。保證每一封賀卡的信息都能夠符合對方的文化習(xí)慣。

8. Avoid the Mail Rush
8. 避開郵件高峰期

Mail your business greeting cards in time to arrive for the designated holiday.
及時送出賀卡，使其能夠在指定的節(jié)日到達(dá)對方的手中。
