Holiday Cards Take A New Spin With Social Media Tools

Staying on top of everything for the holiday season is always a challenge, but at least this year your holiday cards can be a bit more attention grabbing with a touch of social media. This year, A family photo slipped into a holiday card is just not enough to set you apart from the rest of cards sent by family and friends. Rather platforms Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Youtube can help you to create something completely new and innovative this year.

Facebook: Post your Christmas card to your Facebook timeline by simply uploading your family pictures with a simple, “season greetings! From the Smiths.” It’s a quick way to give something special without having to pay a cent, but warning, if doing something funny this is public for all your Facebook friends and family.

Pinterest: Instead of choosing one picture, choose as many as you want. Start by creating a board that includes several of your favorite family photos and add anything else regarding the holiday season. The pins can range from your favorite holiday recipes to decorations. It’s the kind of card you wish you could have sent out years ago, truly sharing the holiday spirit.

Instagram: Editing is made easy with Instagram. Simply, upload from your smartphone’s camera roll or even email yourself pictures from your digital camera and edit them with the provided filters. To make it even more festive, download apps like Instaqoute for IOS and Android to add “season’s greetings” directly onto your photos.

Youtube: To step even further out of the box, a YouTube video can really capture the full holiday experience. With basic video editing software such as iMovie, anybody can edit a short video that will be enjoyable to watch over and over again for years to come.
