We usually think of the front page of a newsletter as the perfect place to put that all-important article. But sometimes, less is more. If your newsletter is going out to your readers during the holiday season, consider using your newsletter as a greeting card.

Simply replace your usual articles and graphics with holiday-themed clip art and include a warm greeting to your readers.

Greeting cards can be a big expenditure. If you usually send out a holiday or December issue of your newsletter, as well as a separate greeting card to your list of readers, this idea will save you time and money this year. Plus, you can customize and personalize your "greeting card" to your heart's content.
