E-cards are a quick and affordable way to spread some holiday cheer to your list members. In this month's article, Gail gives you some creative ideas on how to make your e-card interesting and fun. You'll also see four examples of how our customers are using e-cards, as well as some samples of holiday templates Constant Contact has to offer.

Capture the spirit of the season and connect with your customers or members with a Constant Contact holiday template.

Simply login to your account and click on "create an email." When it's time to pick a template, choose the "Holiday" category, and then one of the "December Holiday" styles (e.g. card, newsletter, or promotion).

Once in editing mode, you can choose from a variety of holiday images or use one of your own. Just click on the "Global Colors and Fonts" link, then on the small thumbnail to see a list of stock images or to include your own.

 In no time you'll have a professional-looking holiday email ready to send to your list.
