Do you send holiday cards to your friends and family? If so, then you know how expensive it can be to buy them, take time to write the messages on them, and then mail them out (both in terms of money and time). This year, try sending cards online. It’s simple to do and lets you save both time and money! Here’s how…
Convenience
Cards are easy to send online. No need to get in your car, fight traffic, or go out of your way to visit a brick-and-mortar store. Just find a card you like and click send it—that’s it! You can also make notes about your gifts on sites such as Etsy or Zazzle. There are many benefits of sending cards online.
Save money
The biggest benefit of sending greeting cards online is that you’ll save a lot of time and money. No more running to every store in town or pulling out your credit card five times; you can get everything done with just one trip to your computer. And, thanks to Amazon Prime, you don’t even have to pay for shipping! Use all that extra cash you saved on buying a new bike—or put it towards another wish on your birthday list!
Free templates available
Templates can be downloaded for Microsoft Word, Apple Pages, and Google Docs.
Social media sharing
More than half of adults (51%) have sent a greeting card in recent years, but many also now are sending greetings digitally through social media. This month, just over one-third of social media users (35%) say they’ve liked or commented on an occasion-related post to send a virtual greeting. Two-thirds (67%) of social media users with a birthday listed on their profile page say they’ve ever received such a message from someone else on their birthday.
Handwritten effect with e-cards
A card is worth a thousand words, but there’s no guarantee your sentiment will come across with an e-card. However, if you can’t send a real card because you live in different states or countries, sending an e-card could be a good solution. E-cards also come with other benefits that handwritten cards don’t.
Wide range of options to choose from
A wide range of options makes it easy to send a card that’s just right. Pick from hundreds of themes and designs, add photos or other images, even write your own message. No matter what you choose, you can be sure your recipient will love it. Best of all, sending cards online has never been easier—all from your computer or mobile device!
Quick and easy
If you’re trying to send a card in a hurry, there’s no need to go out—many sites offer same-day delivery. In addition, sites like paperless post offer rewards when you sign up for their mailing list—this is an easy way to stay on top of your contacts without going overboard with cards.
