Actually, no Dec 22, 2024

I will always express my wishes when I'm in direct contact with my clients during the end-of-year season, but I don't create specific general e-mails.

I hate empty words and general e-mails that are clearly not personalized are exactly that. I've already received some greetings stating something like "Your contribution to this year's success was so valuable", while I did perhaps 2 small tasks over the whole year.

I'm not sure those greetings are truly intended to generate thoughts in my head like "Get lost".

The tradition of sending Christmas cards is all but gone. When I started out in this profession, I used to send handwritten Christmas cards to clients, suppliers and colleagues, after a while I started sending e-cards only to the most important clients. Nowadays, like Lieven, I will send my best wishes to the clients who contact me during the end-of-year season.

From my point of view yes i do, because you have to keep in touch with your clients and that is a good opportunity and that is how you maintain your client portfolio.

I don't like spamming Dec 23, 2024

I consider all those PR/marketing emails like pure spam, so I don't send them.

Also, I don't like to get them, so this is the time of the year when I usually unsubscribe from all those services that only send these spam emails, without any communication during the whole year.
