MINI Holiday Cards

Just wondering who all got a Christmas card of any sort from their MINI dealer or service dept? My mom got a card from the Chevrolet dealership, a separate card from the guy who sold her the 06 Impala, a card from the service department, and even a card from the lady who sold her her 04 Impala, and my dad got a card from the GMC dealership. The GM stores do all this, and I got nothing from MINI.

We didn't get one from Mini either. We bought ours from MoN.

I got the "Holiday Motoring Swag" catalog, but that is all.

Christmas card

I received an ecard from my Mini dealer. Of course I was also in the process of buying my 2nd Mini from them. Maybe that had something to do with it.

I got an email from my Motoring Advisor and my car hasnt even gone into production yet! From the sounds of it I guess I am one of the lucky ones.

I got the MINI Happy Holidays and Gingerbread holiday greetings email from MINI, and a non MINI-themed card from the local dealership, Hendrick MINI--even though I bought my car from somewhere else. I bought my car from Flow MINI last December, but did not receive a card from them.

I got the gingerbread garage thing from MINI USA, plus a card from Classic MINI with a picture of the lovely Julie (my MA) and all the other Classic MAs in and around a MINI.

I am pretty well convinced that Classic is the best dealer in the US.

hmmmn...I got one from my dealer AND Mini USA...now the one from my dealer I know is cause I gave it to them when I ordered my car, so they could update me...and so they can inform me of events...

The Mini USA card I know is from the owners lounge...

Both are different emails....so did you guys maybe give them a "junk mail" account back when you gave them your email...cuase I know one of the two I gave them I hardly check so I just found it yesterday..

or who knows maybe santa thought you were bad...NO CARD FOR YOU!!

I actually really think that most corporate christmas cards are a waste of money and effort. It is extremely rare that a card is actually unique and well thought out. Thus I'd much rather see most companies including MINI NA put the money to good use as in good will or other charities.
Personally I don't even like the casual personal ones that acquaintances stamp out at a feverish pitch with only a signature on it. When sending a christmas card I at least would expect a nice handwritten personalized line.
Cheers,
H

I got a very cute Mini card in the mail (not e-mail) from my MA. But as someone else said, I just bought my second Mini from her. She also threw in rubber mats this time, which she did not do last time.

Well, we were a little late in the game and MINI had ran out of the cards that we usually send so I made a card, sent it to the print shop and they slow walked me until it was too late so we didn't kill any trees this year. I have a customer base of around 400 now so mine are usually short and sweet. I really do like doing that type of stuff.

We got a card from the service dept at our first MINI dealership. Attached was a coupon for $20 off any service item except oil changes.

I received a card from Julie and the gang at Classic Mini

It's been a year and a half since I bought mine. Just another example of why Classic Mini rocks.
