How to answer Season Greetings

Do you have losts of contact with customers, suppliers, partners in your business? Yes? Than you for sure have received lots of Seasons-Greetings, this year too, ain't you? There are four different options to choose from to answer:

Option 1:

Dear Jack

I have received your handwritten Seasons Greetings today and did read it with greatest pleasure! I am very much pleased to work with people like you. People who seem indeed to bring the business term “partnership” to a totally different level. People who not only find value in products, price and services, but also in humans. It is more than great, working with people and organizations who recognize their partners as nothing else than exactly that; Partners.

Thank you very much for giving me the one more confirmation that I am work with a partner who’s willing to do the extra mile for me.

Option 2:

Dear all at Lazy Inc. Co. Ltd.

Thank you for the Season Greetings on the nicely preprinted, personally signed card which received me today.

See you next year (in case I have no other option).

Option 3:

Sabrina

No Season Greetings form Rough & Tough Inc., that’s quiet unusual. Thank you anyway for that, it saves me from pulling option 3.

Sending very best whishes for a great and successful new year and looking very much forwad to discuss price-structure on our next meeting.

Option 4:

Lads’n’Gents at Marketing Dept. of High-Tech Ltd.

Today I received your Season Greetings–Standard-Email. Thanks. May I at this occasion kindly ask you to defiately take me off your mailing list.

Please also forward my email to your sales representative which I am herewith asking to delete my contact data immediately. I just received confirmation of Medium-Tech Co. that they will gladly accept my yearly orders in the quiet lousy range of US$ 25’000.- from next year on. 


How many times could you pull option 1 this year?
