			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The holiday season is really on top of us again. Today is the 5th day of Chanukah and Christmas is 9 days away! Oy Vey!</p>
<p>If you have customers, it&#8217;s a good time to send them a note of thanks and warm wishes for a Happy New Year. The holidays also provide a great opportunity to send a generous gift or discount coupon to your customers. Have you ever considered taking a portion of your advertising budget and spending it directly on your existing, loyal customers rather than on potential business relationships? Think about it.</p>
<p>Here is a selection of holiday email templates available in <a href="http://www.group-mail.com" target="_blank">GroupMail</a>.</p>
<p><img id="image621" src="http://www.messagingtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/template1.gif" alt="template1.gif" /></p>
<p><img id="image622" src="http://www.messagingtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/template2.gif" alt="template2.gif" /></p>
<p><img id="image623" src="http://www.messagingtimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/11/template3.gif" alt="template3.gif" /></p>
<p>GroupMail also allows you to import your own HTML email holiday templates and save them in GroupMail&#8217;s template folder. Have you designed a holiday email template that you&#8217;re proud of? If so, provide a link in the comments of this post so that we can get inspired.</p>
