Why Send an ECard for Christmas

 It's the "-ber" months, and Christmas is the air. Have you already decided what gift to give to whom? If not, don't worry because you are not alone. Factors like budget and thinking whether the person would like your gift makes it harder for us to decide what gift to give this season.

Last year, my husband introduced me to eCards. It has been a lifesaver because I was able to tell every person I know that h/she was remembered. In this article, I will share with you why eCards can be your best option this holiday. Check here.

#1 Cheap

Let's face it, gifts are expensive these days. A simple shirt could cost $10 to $20/pc, a bouquet of flowers could cost $20 to $50, and a greeting card could cost $3 to $10/pc depending on the quality. And of course, these prices do not include the shipping cost for gifts that you will be sending to your friends and family who lives in another city or abroad. In fact, your whole Christmas bonus could only allow you to send gifts to ten to twenty people.

On the other hand, an average eCard only costs $0.50. That means it would only cost you $100 to tell 200 people in your life that they have been remembered this season of giving. In fact, $100 is more than enough to send an eCard to your high school and college friends, officemates, neighbors, business clients, family, and even new acquaintances.

#2 Convenient

What could be more convenient that sitting in front of your computer, choosing a template, writing a short message, clicking "send to all" and voila! You just sent a gift to every person on your address book. That means, no more hassle in writing a Christmas list, going to the store and waiting in line to pay, and delivering each gift or spending for a delivery service. An eCard is the most convenient gift you can give because you do not have to allocate a specific time for it - eCards can be done 24/7. That means, you can make and send your eCards during your most convenient time.

#3 Makes every person in your life feel special

Because of the low cost and convenience that eCards have, telling every important and even the not so important people in your life that they have been remembered by you on this important occasion is possible. You do not have to worry that Aunt Martha might feel bad because she hasn't received a gift from you and Aunt Mary has.

#4 Can be personalized

Moreover, eCards can be personalized. You can add photos, write personal messages, and attach personal drawing or doodles. You can also use customized fonts or place animated or still graphics on your eCard to make it more special. The option is endless, you just need a little creativity and you can make every person in your life feel special.

#5 Environment-friendly

Online gift giving reduces fuel consumption as well as air pollution because you do not have to drive to the store to purchase gifts. Furthermore, sending eCards instead of paper greeting cards help save thousands of trees and reduce waste pollution by 25% every year.

Indeed, eCards can change the traditional Christmas gift giving practice. It is more economical, convenient, and environment friendly without defying the purpose of making a person feel remembered and special this holiday.
