一年一度的圣诞节马上要来啦，这也是西方国家最重要的节日之一。跟我们的春节一样，如果客户给你发了节日祝福，是不是特别开心？所以，外贸人可以抓住圣诞节的计划和客户维护关系。不过，节日祝福和外贸开发信（可以链接到这篇开发信的文章）可不一样，该怎么发，也是有门道的哦。
你还不知道该发什么？没关系，盈展课堂来跟你们好好聊聊。
在发祝福之前，肯定要翻翻圣诞节的相关资料啦，比如圣诞节起源，风俗有什么，哪些国家不过圣诞等等。当然，越来越多不过圣诞节的国家逐渐开始将新年假期和圣诞一起庆祝，此“旦”非彼“诞”，对于这些国家，简单的Happy New Year就够了。
那么哪些国家不过圣诞节呢？
只有基督教徒、天主教徒才会隆重地庆祝圣诞节。伊斯兰教、印度教、佛教徒、犹太教是不过圣诞节的！包括了：沙特、阿联酋、叙利亚、约旦、伊拉克、也门、巴勒斯坦、埃及、利比亚、阿尔及利亚、阿曼、苏丹、索马里、摩洛哥、突尼斯、卡塔尔、吉布提、黎巴嫩、毛里塔尼亚、巴林、以色列等。所以，千万别发错啦！
什么时候发才好？
圣诞节假期会根据国家的不同而不定期开始，但是，假期非常的长。所以，在给外贸客户发祝福的时候必须要注意时间点，发早了没有节日氛围，发晚了人家都放假去了。盈展课堂告诉大家一个小技巧——关注各大欧美的大型超市和商场的促销时间！通常开始促销了，就表示节日已经临近，但是大家又还没正式进入假期的状态，所以，这时候就是最佳时机啦，大概就是节日前的一个星期左右就可以开始发了！
这时候你可能会问，那邮件标题怎么拟呢？
一般来说如果是祝福邮件，可以用“Greeting from+公司名称/发件人名称”，这样，邮件来自什么人，一目了然！当然打开邮件后的内容也很关键，通常可以将节日祝福做成贺卡或者海报的形式，这样就能看出你的用心。精心设计的海报加上编排好的文案，客户看到了也不会不回复的！
