Holiday Print Campaigns Bring Communities Together

The holidays are more than just a busy season—they’re a time when people come together, plan for the year ahead, and look for ways to support causes they care about. If you’re heading up communications for a nonprofit, local organization, or independent school, now is the moment to plan your holiday mail strategy. Done right, your message won’t just arrive—it will stick.

Why Holiday Print Works for Community Connection

Emails vanish. Social posts scroll by. But a postcard, newsletter, or holiday card? That’s something people keep. Whether pinned to a corkboard, displayed on the fridge, or shared at the office, print makes your presence known in a tangible, lasting way.

At EMCO Mail & Print, we’ve seen firsthand how community-driven mail campaigns inspire action and build trust. This holiday season, let your message be the one people remember.

Smart Holiday Mail Ideas for Nonprofits and Local Organizations

Event Promotions & Save-the-Dates. Get on people’s calendars now for 2026. Whether it’s a winter concert, fundraiser, or school play, oversized postcards featuring photos of past events build excitement. Add a simple QR code so RSVPs and ticket purchases are just a click away.

Presale Tickets & Early Access. Nothing sparks momentum like “first chance” offers. A well-timed flyer showcasing presale pricing or early merchandise availability can lock in attendance and support before the holidays even begin.

Holiday Giving Campaigns That Shine. December is prime time for donations. A heartfelt letter paired with a return envelope—or a QR code for quick online giving—makes supporting your mission easy and rewarding.

Schools Build Trust & Reach Families

For independent schools, preschools, and childcare centers, print is a trust-builder. Share holiday newsletters that highlight student achievements, or send cards that remind families why your community is the right fit going into 2026.

Mark Your Calendar: USPS Holiday Deadlines

Avoid last-minute scrambles. Here are the key 2025 mailing dates from USPS:

• Ground Advantage™: Mail by December 16

• First-Class Mail®: Mail by December 19

• Priority Mail®: Mail by December 20

• Priority Mail Express®: Mail by December 22

Mailing earlier in December ensures your campaign lands before the seasonal rush.

Print + Digital = Maximum Reach

Want to boost engagement? Meet people where they are. Pair print with digital by adding QR codes that link to tickets, donations, or sign-ups. It’s the best of both worlds: personal connection plus easy online action.
