E-Cards

E-cards are digital cards delivered usually via email, rather than paper or cardboard cards sent through the post. E-cards are a great alternative to traditional cards because they are delivered in seconds rather than days, have no postage costs, and are environmentally-friendly since they don’t use paper. Additionally, they can be sent to many people at once while being personalised for each recipient.

E-cards are also more versatile than traditional cards. Rather than just a picture and a message, e-cards can include animation, video, sound and music. Typically, senders choose an e-card from an online catalogue of e-cards so they don’t even have to design the card themselves.  After selecting a design, the sender can personalise it by various degrees including name, a message, photo or video. Then the sender fills in the recipient’s email address and the web site delivers the email. On the other hand, web-based card creation is also an option. This is where the sender chooses all the individual elements of the e-card from the website, including the background, images, animations and text font.

With advancing technology, e-cards can now be sent to mobile devices including PDAs and mobile phones (also known as mCards). These multimedia messages can be sent by the user from a website on a PC to the recipient’s mobile number.

Business E-Cards

E-cards are used for all sorts of occasions, from Christmas to birthdays, Valentine’s Day, graduations, weddings, engagements, Easter, New Years and so on. Or they can be sent just for fun, many e-cards just being designed with amusing animations. E-cards are also increasingly being used by businesses to keep in contact with previous, present and potential customers and shareholders. They can replace traditional business Christmas cards, be used as invitations to conferences or seminars, inform customers of changes and more.
