Do you see what I see? It’s everywhere you go online. By now, your email inbox and social media streams are filled with B2B holiday greetings videos and messages from businesses and colleagues.

Not only is this time of year full of hope and cheer; it’s also a great time to remind everyone about how great it is to work with you and your company.

We all need IT

Can’t afford real celebrities to sing holiday jingles? Why not hire an impersonator. This “We are the World” inspired holiday music video from Sophos Labs is both entertaining and funny with the use of Pop-Up Video style blurbs about how celebrities use IT.

Warmest wishes with a charitable twist

Do some of your employees have hidden talents? Want to showcase just how creative your digital agency can be?

The takeaway from these videos is to create something that is not only memorable, but catches a customer’s eye in their inbox or social media newsfeed. And if it strikes the right tone (or note in the case of Klick Health), your prospective customers will happily share it with their friends and colleagues.

Have you seen any other share-worthy business holiday greetings videos this year? Please send them to me and I’ll add them to the list. I hope you and your family have a very warm and happy holiday season! See you in 2018.
