e Cards Are Great Marketing Tool

E cards (electronic greeting cards) are a great example of efficient marketing on the internet. You have a service open to the Internet users. The e cards they send from your site invariably contain promotion for your company, products or services. They are advertising tools that are immediate, inexpensive, personalized and although sent via email, S.P.A.M.-free.

This form of Internet marketing through ecards is extremely effective. More than 50% of the U.S. population and 85% of all Internet users visit a greeting's site annually, according to research firm Jupiter MediaMetrix. Why not use even a small percentage of these potential clients to your advantage? OK, BlueMountain.com has more than 100 million unique visitors each year, but even with less numbers, the potential is there. Remember, with each sent ecard from your site you have at least two potential clients!

Sending greeting cards,greeting card stores.

Sending greeting cards online is currently the most convenient, economical and easy way to wish anybody a happy holiday. Therefore, in this fast-paced world, sending a greeting via ‘snail mail’ is either considered a luxury or just plain old-fashioned. Even so, people sometimes go the extra mile to find a greeting they can post. In that case, the greeting card stores rise to the occasion. The difference could be in the fact that the cards are handmade, for example.
Greeting card stores that stock handmade products are becoming quite trendy because they sell unique cards handmade on recycled paper. They sell their hand made stationery on the idea that each card is a piece of art and has its own peculiarities and characteristics. No two cards are alike, and this makes them even more sought after.
Handmade greeting card stores are not the only novelty in greeting card retail. The extraordinary online retailer also does exist. But this is not the same as sending e-cards. Online greeting card stores are virtual shops from which you can choose your card and have it sent by post to any location in the world. Some retailers even offer free postage within the region. This mode of sending cards has been made more fun by allowing the user to design and create their own card, before requesting it to be sent out.

Show Them You Care With Online Greeting Cards

I thought that online greeting cards were the coolest things ever during the first time I saw them. Of course, I was only being silly because there are a lot of other amazing things that can be found on the Internet today. The good news is that they just keep getting better. I belong to the generation that lived without the Internet so I only discovered it a few years ago. I love the World-Wide-Web because it has given me the ability to make friends all over the world.
I was never good when it comes to buying cards for people whenever a birthday or celebration is approaching. It always seems that I forget about these cards, even when I was staring at them in the store. Fortunately, online greeting cards have made it easier for a slacker like me to keep on top of things. I also don’t to worry about an online greeting card getting lost in the mail.
There are online greeting cards for every occasion you can imagine, and many for occasions you could have never dreamed up on your own. There seems to be a special occasion every day of the year because I get an email once a week from one place where I go to send a lot of online greeting cards. I think that it’s amazing what people can come up with. There is probably already a card out there for it if you can dream it up. There are cards that can fit every personality, lifestyle, and interest. The sky is really the limit when it comes to sending cards through the World-Wide-Web.
Of course, I don’t use online greeting cards for most of those silly days. However, I can see a card that I just can’t pass up every once in a while. I always have friends who may need a pick me up, and I can put a smile on their face through a silly online greeting card. You should never forget to let those you love know how much you mean to them, and never let an opportunity to say hello pass you by. You never know when you will have the chance to do it again. These days, we have online greeting cards make that it easier than ever to do just that.

Greeting cards -History

Greeting cards started out as simple slips of papyrus, that were exchanged by both the Egyptians and Chinese as messages of goodwill. As the concept of greeting cards evolved, Europeans began to send them to one another for holidays such as Valentine's Day – and this occurred as early as the 1400's.

Using Greeting Cards In Your Scrapbooks


There are a few times during the year when we get greeting cards from other people. If you are like me, you enjoy the cards for a few days either on a table or a mantle and then you throw them out.

Next time, consider creating a scrapbook to hold the cards you’ve received. There are a couple of options of how to attach your greeting cards to your scrapbook. You can actually leave the card intact, and put mounting squares on the back of the card and then attach it to the page. On a 12x12 page you can fit 3 or sometimes 4 cards. You can then decorate the remainder of the page for whatever occasion the cards came for.

Another option is to cut the card and attach only the design portion of the card onto paper in your scrapbook. You can frame the design just as you would frame a photo in your scrapbook. You can create a specific shape for your frame, or you can cut the frame to the same shape as your greeting card design.

You can also repeat the above procedures for the sentiments and/or signature inside the card. Some cards I receive have personal messages written to me, while other cards have nothing personal and a pre-stamped signature from the card giver.

If you have photos of the person who sent the card, you might want to attach a photo below or above the greeting card of the card sender.

Secure greeting cards

Hi, secure greeting cards is not for security guards or any secure documents. Sometimes we need to keep secure to all greeting cards that we received. For example, if somebody


found you secret greeting cards ! More terrible if his show to public.
Better way is to have a good place or security box for your secure greeting cards.
But, if your greeting cards not valuable, just keep in your drawer.

Why Greeting Cards Are Handy


One of the best ways to reach out and touch people is by sending greeting cards. They are a way to touch someone personally and from the heart. They are handy because often they give ideas of how to say just the right thoughts when words fail otherwise.
Greeting cards are used to ask forgiveness, to convey sympathy, to send a perk to someone who is sad, to share a special occasion with someone special, and to send well-wishes to someone who has been ill or hurt. Greeting cards are handy as reminders for someone who may be forgetful, to say thanks to someone who has been helpful, and to renew friendships.
Greeting cards can be handy to jog memories of something long forgotten. If you are a person who saves special things, greeting cards can be found years later in a box of old memories. They can help revive old memories or be used to start new ones.
Many times humor from a greeting card may touch someone when a letter would not. A greeting card can be short, sweet, and to the point or long, thoughtful, and thought-provoking.
If you are grieving over a loved one, you may be sorting through keepsakes and be soothed by a greeting card bought long ago. You can use these precious gifts to begin a scrapbook of the person. You can share the greeting cards with family or friends and revive fond memories. You can use these greeting cards in crafts to make other gifts to hand over to a child or grandchild to keep the memory of your loved one alive.
For someone who likes to save greeting cards as a hobby, you may find joy in discovering antique greeting cards.
Greeting cards can be used to teach a child. They can be handy in helping a child learn how to read, how to appreciate getting mail, how to keep in touch with friends or family they may have moved away from, how to explore their own thoughts and feelings, how to convey humor to others. They can also be used to teach a child how to count and how to create. They can be used to teach a child about writing and publishing and art. They can be used to teach a child about poetry. They can help teach a child about animals, nature, cars, motorcycles, good manners, and friendship.
Are you low on cash? Sending a greeting card in place of a gift is a handy alternative. Some people prefer to receive a card in place of a gift. The most important thing about a special occasion is to let someone know they were on your heart and in your mind. Sometimes just sending a card instead of a gift will relieve someone of having to provide a gift in kind. Some people may be secretly relieved to just exchange cards on special occasions.
Greeting cards can also be handy in business. If you have employees who need a morale boost, use a humorous greeting card or maybe something to let them know you appreciate their hard work. Sometime you should think which more better, greeting cards,egreeting,signal greeting,
leave away greeting or unexpected greeting!
