Reuters Foundation extends corporate Christmas cards to consumers
Howard Lake | 10 November 2004 | News
The corporate Christmas cards sold by the Reuters Foundation have proved so popular that staff have persuaded them to make them available to the public.
Each year the Reuters Foundation produces Season’s Greetings cards for use by the Reuters business, selling over 70,000 cards for corporate use. The profits made on these cards, around £30,000, is passed to Reuters Foundation to support its international humanitarian and educational work.
Reuters staff were keen to use these cards for personal Christmas cards, so they successfully persuaded the Foundation last year to produce unbranded cards for personal sales.
