Christmas Cards - save time and act sustainably by sending an e-card this festive season
Over the years, the way we buy and send cards has changed dramatically, resulting in technology and social media becoming the modern ways to send our holiday greetings.
Did you know you can send a Kids Inspire e-card during this festive season? Heres how…
Main benefits of a digital card vs traditional printed versions:
E-cards are small bundles of joy that can be written, created and sent with just a few clicks of a button to light up someone’s inbox to spread festive cheer.
E-cards are fun, animated and personalised, quickly replacing printed holiday season cards in recent years.
Not only are e-cards a brilliant way to celebrate the occasion and union between you and your family and friends, but they are also a cost-effective and sustainable way to communicate with your loved ones this Christmas.
Other benefits of e-cards:
Personalisation
The primary purpose of sending Christmas cards is to let your friends and family know you are thinking about them during the holiday season. However, sending an e-card still enables personalisation with your own bespoke messaging for each recipient, ensuring the receiver of your card knows that this message is just for them and no one else. Personalising your Christmas e-card will make your loved ones feel special and remembered.
Cost-effective
Sending traditional print cards can take time and money, especially in the current cost of living crisis. You could spend a lot of money on stamps to post your cards and still be unsure when they will get to your recipient. You also have to spare the time and labour involved to handwrite, lick and stamp hundreds of cards potentially. Sending an e-card will save you time and be a more cost-effective way to spread Christmas joy. One simple online process that takes next to no time ensures you can save a little more for the new years eve party!
Speed
The digital Christmas card is superb for providing a speedy way to send your cards with a few clicks of a button. You could even leave it until Christmas Eve, and your e-cards will still be delivered on time. We all know that the Royal Mail can delay sending letters, especially during peak times such as December. Whether you've got a couple of months spare or a panicked two days left before you need to send your cards, the beauty of e-cards means you can send them at a time that suits you most.
Instant delivery
With the wonders of modern technology and the web, you can track your e-card interactions as soon as you've sent it. You will no longer have to ask your family if they have received your cards awkwardly and then explain that the postman lost them. Instead, sending an e-card means instant delivery and peace of mind that it has made it to your recipient's inbox.
Choose an image, personalise your message and with just one click of a button, your heart-warming e-card has been sent to your recipient.
Sustainable
Last but not least is probably the most critical benefit to sending e-cards as opposed to traditional printed cards; it's better for the planet!
It takes around one tree to make 3,000 Christmas cards, meaning that as many as 1 billion Christmas Cards will end up in bins, the equivalent of 33 million trees cut down to send these festive greetings.
Switching to e-cards shows you being environmentally responsible and will help promote the idea to your friends and family as a more sustainable way to send a Christmas card, especially for those who are older or less tech-savvy. Sending an e-card shows how seriously you take reducing your carbon footprint and your social responsibility; that benefit is surely priceless.
