The Case For Switching To Convenient E-Cards

There’s nothing quite as wholesome as sending someone your best wishes and doing so through a token of appreciation, the humble greeting card. A greeting card may be simple, but it’s a much warmer symbol than a text or phone call. It shows you’ve commemorated the event and are thinking about the person in question.

 

Recently, a fantastic new norm has become standard - convenient e-cards.

 

Find A Card Anywhere

Conventionally, customers would purchase greeting cards from local stores, find an envelope and stamp, and post them. They might bring them in person. Both methods require at least two trips, and unfortunately, the prevalence of paper cards is much less common than it used to be. You might need help finding what you need for a particular event, like celebrating your friend passing their final driving exam. For this reason, e-cards allow you to find a specific card anywhere, for any event, and deliver it from the same screen. You can also curate it on the phone, on your desktop, or in a coffee shop. That way, you can put more thought into the scope of the message itself.

 

Made for You, By You

With e-cards, you can define the card, choose from thousands of templates, and add your own. Brands like 2050cards offer many designs you can browse through - from funny to heartfelt, simple to outrageous. And you can completely personalize it by typing in your message and adding photos or videos. This makes each e-card a truly one-of-a-kind gesture tailored specifically for the person in question. That way, you don’t have to worry about getting the same card for an individual as someone else in your group did.

 

General Sustainability Concerns

Caring about the environment is a big priority nowadays. Luckily, e-cards are a planet-friendly choice since they don't require any physical materials, shipping, or waste. You can save and replay your card after an event as many times as needed. You can send that cheer by choosing the virtual option while reducing your carbon footprint.

 

Inexpensive Design

It’s also important to note that the overhead of sending an e-card is quite minimal. You don’t have to factor in the clerk’s salary, the premises, or the cost of paper or ink. In fact, many online retailers of e-cards offer combination discounts, meaning you can send multiple cards at once - perfect for big families or universal events like Christmas! That way, you barely even have to factor in e-card spending into your seasonal budget.

 

Convenient Doesn't Mean Impersonal

Some might think digital greetings are cold and impersonal compared to a handwritten card. But the ability to customize e-cards with your own words and visuals actually allows you to create something incredibly personal and heartfelt. It's a modern way to convey appreciation, apology, or love. Just think of how happy you’d feel to receive one that was carefully designed..

 

While traditional cards still have a place, e-cards offer that easy, eco-friendly, and customizable option that helps you send greetings from anywhere. Moreover, you can send them through multiple social channels, not just email.
