The organisation says it has received messages from customers in recent weeks that they can no longer afford to buy the Christmas cards, due to cost of posting. Tom Yendell, board member of the MFPA, said: “There is still time to put the brakes on and find alternative ways of raising attention that won’t cause financial harm.
“Sending a Christmas card should be carefree and affordable, but the recent stamp price increases are so steep that people are now reviewing whether they can afford to send this year, and whether they will be able to purchase our Christmas cards at all.”
