Corporate video holiday cards combine a physical greeting card with a built-in video screen and speaker.
When the recipient opens the card, the video can play directly from the card.
That gives businesses a way to deliver a CEO greeting, customer appreciation message, employee holiday video, year-in-review presentation or other personal communication without relying entirely on email.
Media Card Creations creates custom video cards for corporate communications, client appreciation, holiday campaigns and premium relationship marketing.

Why Use a Video Holiday Card Instead of Email?
Email is convenient, but convenience is also what makes it easy to ignore.
A physical video card arrives on the recipient’s desk.
The recipient opens it.
The screen turns on.
Your message begins.
That sequence creates a physical moment of attention around the brand.
Video cards can be particularly effective when the recipient is a high-value customer, strategic account, executive, partner or employee.
Who Should Receive Corporate Video Holiday Cards?
Video cards are especially appropriate for:
| Audience | Potential Use |
|---|---|
| VIP clients | Personal holiday appreciation |
| Strategic accounts | Executive relationship building |
| Major customers | Customer retention |
| Prospects | High-impact follow-up |
| Employees | Recognition and appreciation |
| Distributors | Partner appreciation |
| Donors | Year-end thank-you |
| Executives | Personal relationship communication |
A company does not necessarily need to send a premium video card to its entire database.
A tiered campaign can be more effective.
