Christmas is coming!
We know it is early, but now is the time to be thinking about sending a postive message to your members or customers this year by sending personalised e-christmas cards. Better for the planet and your organisation – no need for printing delays and save on postage costs.
Choose your card from our electronic Christmas Card pack, type in your message and send out through our E-sender system. It’s easy and fuss free.
And the great news is you can use the system for future e-newsletters too.
£25 + Vat plus e-sender costs (£4.50 for 100 sent and 1p per email thereafter). To sign up for the service, email pete@cosmic.org.uk .
Sadly we can’t virtually stuff the turkey or put up the decorations for you too!
