ATLANTA, GA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 2, 2008 -- Email service provider MailChimp today announced the availability of 12 free holiday-themed templates for organizations and publications of all sizes to easily create and send their holiday cards and newsletters. The Holiday Email Designer templates were created by MailChimp's award-winning design team and allow users to customize their message and choose from a variety of seasonal images for a professional and attractive look.

Designs can also be personalized in virtually any language thanks to MailChimp's integration with Google Translate. The templates have been tested in MailChimp's Inbox Inspector (http://www.mailchimp.com/add-ons/inboxinspector/) to ensure proper rendering in most email clients. You don't have to be a MailChimp customer to use the tool; you can create and send out your holiday newsletter on your own or set up a free account and let MailChimp handle it for you. Current MailChimp subscribers can easily import the holiday templates into their accounts.

"Most companies and many online publications send out special holiday greetings and thanks to their partners and consumers," said MailChimp CEO Ben Chestnut. "With budgets being tight this year, it may be more of a drain on internal resources to design and send these cards. Our design tool helps ease that problem; it is not only free, but takes no time at all to create a beautiful holiday missive that you can be proud to send."
