A New Year greeting is a good excuse to get back in touch with your clients. And the first week of January brings its own messages: your return hours, the year's news or a price change.

Here are texts for each case. If you're looking for Christmas greetings, see our holiday greetings for clients.

From the January 1 greeting to the first email after the break.

4Frequently asked questions

Is it better to send the greeting before or after January 1?

The greeting, between December 31 and the first days of January. Practical notices, like your hours, are best sent before you close.

Can I personalize it without writing each message?

Yes: save the text as a shortcut with a blank for the name. With NexoPad, you type the shortcut and only fill in each client's name.
