Dear [Client's Name],

Thank you for your business in 2008. [Something personal about your experience working with that client specifically]. I wish you and your family a wonderful holiday season and look forward to working with you again in the new year.

All the best,

[Your signature]

Asker's Rating:
• I wish your response came a little earlier before mine got sent out. But this response is very good, personalizable, and very nondenominational.

Just say "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!"

This is standard. It's part of our history, society, and culture.

I am a one tutor working for one family at a time. My services, their employing me, and my thanking them have nothing to do with American history, society, or culture. You make no sense.

G'day Offthedome,

Thank you for your question.

I would write something like "Thank you for your support in 2008 and looking forward to doing business with you in 2009."

Unless you hand deliver them to each of your clients, you may well have left it too late. The last day for companies such as Amazon for delivery was 18 December.

Last year the US Postal Service said that December 22 was the last day for express mail before Christmas.

You may have left it too late for this year. If you have their email, you may want to send them a Christmas email.

Regards

If you're going nondenominational, then "happy holidays" is the industry norm. If you want, you could add your own personality to make it more personal, and that's usually ok. Unless you're tutoring the Disney corporation.

It's late advice for this year, but my godfather, a jeweler by trade, never sent Christmas cards, but instead always sent Thanksgiving cards. Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday and not typically associated with the sending of greeting cards. This made it perfect for his purposes. His Thanksgiving cards delivered a message of "thanks for your patronage/loyalty" at a time when everyone expects to give thanks. He delivered this message before any one else delivered their traditional Christmas greetings. His Thanksgiving message therefore never got lost in the flurry of Christmas cards. Even better, it served as a gentle reminder that jewelry makes an excellent Christmas gift during that buying time of year.

So next year, for your clients, send a non-denominational Thanksgiving card.

That's actually a really good idea. It's a nondenominational holiday that has very little controversy among people.

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep it in mind for next year.
