Personalized Santa Letter Business Business Skills & Attributes
If you're still a kid at heart and love the wonder of Christmas, you'd be perfect for this business. Other skills to have:

1. Some writing skills: We're not talking formal essays or novels here, just something nice and sweet that will appeal to children. If you feel you are lacking in writing skills, be sure to check out the Recommended Reading section. The Santa Letter Business Kit has a good selection of sample letters that you can use.

2. Organization Skills: The holiday season will get busy. Be sure you're prepared and organize your work day.

3. Software Skills: Basic knowledge of word processing software should get you started. You will also save yourself plenty of time learning how to do mail merges (allows you to input names, personal information, addresses, etc. into a template), so you can do many letters at one time. Just consult the help files of your word processing software to find out how to do this.

If you use clip art or graphics in your letters, then you'll need to be familiar with any graphics software you use. Or you may want to just used printed stationery that already includes the graphics and pictures when you purchase it.
