Heartwarming Christmas Messages & Christmas Text Templates

‘Tis (almost) the season, and the holidays are the perfect opportunity to send your customers a friendly message.

A recent study by Wunderman found that 79% of customers want brands to prove that they care about earning their business, and reaching out with a personal message during the festive season is one of the bestーand easiestーways to build strong customer relationships.

The only question is, how do you write a Merry Christmas message that will warm your customers’ hearts?

At SimpleTexting, we believe in the power of personalized messages on special occasions. So, we’ll give you eight text templates to work from and break down the anatomy of the ideal Merry Christmas message.

Customer Appreciation

At the end of the day, the main goal of sending Merry Christmas text messages is to let your client base know that you value their business. When you send your message, you can simply say so.

What are we most grateful for during the holidays? Our loyal customers, of course! We’re thankful for your continued support.

Partnership/Affiliate Thank-you

Your customers aren’t the only ones who need to know you care. If you have a partner brand or affiliate that helps give your business a boost, send them season’s greetings too.

Another year is almost over, and we couldn’t have made it without you. Merry Christmas! Your hard work makes our business possible.

Funny Christmas Message Examples

You might be the type of brand that wants to use a little humor when communicating with customers. Xmas SMS messages are a great time to insert some Christmas cheer into the conversation.

Special Seasonal Discount

One of the benefits of texting is its exclusivity. Making a joke or pun while you make your customers feel like VIP’s will do wonders for your retention (and conversion) rates.

How To Write the Perfect Merry Christmas Text Message

Although it’s the season to let loose and have fun, there’s still a few tips to keep in mind as you write your Merry Christmas customer texts:

Keep it short. A greeting, a thank-you, and a special offer or coupon (in certain messages) is all you’ll need. Customers love texting partly because SMS messages are brief, so don’t overcomplicate it.

Add some fun media to spice things up. With MMS, you can attach photos, videos, and other media files. Take the opportunity to add an eye-catching, festive touch to your texts.

Personalize your text messages with your customer’s name, the date they joined you as a customer, or other details. This will help your messages sound less like spam. After all, your customers don’t want to get another vague or generic marketing message.

Avoid sarcasm or any jokes that reference gender, race, religion, or political affiliation.

Follow these tips (or just steal the examples) to keep your Merry Christmas texts smooth and effective this season. Do it right, and your customers will feel the holiday cheer from their text inbox.
