Prefer hand-written communication during holidays.
Traditionally, people write thank you notes and well-wishes during holidays. Now we can do the same task in various ways including electronic.

Thus, expressing such wishes during holidays using hand-written notes can mean a lot to the recipient and overall communication can be deemed effective.
6. Prioritize face-to-face communication.
There are various benefits of face-to-face communication. For an instance, instead of sending a text or emailing boss to ask for leave or raise, meeting face-to-face would show importance. While inviting someone, meeting face-to-face is important too. Phone call is better than a text, but always prefer face-to-face communication for formal or intimate purposes to establish an effective communication
7. Choose appropriate means to invite or announce.

However, to reach more than one person sending out a group email with appropriate details can be effective, especially at a workplace. However, to invite or announce to people for certain occasion, sending out postal mails can be more meaningful than tagging them via social media
