Sound familiar?

The same palaver every December.

Piles of cards, an afternoon of writing with the whole team, retyping addresses, and still someone gets forgotten. Or you go for a printed card that nobody keeps.

What usually happens
  • Writing Christmas cards takes the team days.
  • A printed card with a stamped signature doesn’t say much.
  • December is busy enough as it is.
  • Get your list and design ready now. In December, it all happens automatically.
The difference

A handwritten card gets a different kind of attention.

A card isn’t buried among twenty notifications. It lands on the doormat, gets picked up and often stays around for a while. And because Lightr really writes it on paper with a real pen, it doesn’t come across as yet another automated marketing message.

That way, your Christmas greeting is one that stays on the mantelpiece instead of getting lost among the rest.
