Christmas postage

For the love of letters

We may be living in a digital world, but our research shows three quarters of people who celebrate Christmas still prefer a physical card. 

Despite the huge number of ways to stay in touch with our loved ones in the digital world, 63 per cent of people surveyed said their preferred way to receive Christmas well wishes this year would be a card.

Nine out of 10 people surveyed said they send Christmas cards – making it the top Christmas tradition, joint only with giving gifts.

On that note, as well as increased parcels, we can still expect to see an influx of cards and letters coming through our system to get to recipients in good time for the festive period.
