Save paper and money

Greeting cards sent via email have become increasingly more popular lately, and for good reason. There are many advantages to sending ecards. Some advantages include: cheaper cost for the sender (no need to pay for the card plus the postage), saving paper (for us "tree-hugger" types, this is a big plus), convenience (you can send them immediately or choose a day in the future to send any card), and personalization. You can customize the images and text to truly create the perfect greeting card. For holidays like Christmas, you can create one card to send to a group of people to save even more time.

There is a free 30-day trial period, and after that the yearly subscription is only $13.99. You can send as many cards as you want per year, which makes it a pretty good deal. I send at least one birthday card per month in my family and the cards alone cost more than a yearly ecards subscription would be.

In the past, it seems people were skeptical about using ecards, or considered them impersonal. But now they are accepted by most people in the same way that a paper card is. These days, people check their email before they go outside to check their mailboxes anyway - so they'll get the ecards quicker!
