It's getting rare to
find a personal message in our mail box. We mean the physical mailbox, not the
inbox. Invoices and direct marketing stuff, this is what we get... Not much to
be happy about, right? Where's the personal touch? where's the LOVE?
A few years back, we
were still receiving and sending postcards and letters to family and friends.
Beautiful, handwritten letters. It was cool. It was personal. It meant
something. We felt warm.
But now, what do we
have on hand? Birthday reminders on facebook and linkedin? Ok, not bad. Better
than nothing. But how genuine and personal is that?
Birthday cards are not
anymore the most common way to wish a birthday in this digital age. Those who
still do it definitely stand out, and show they care. But the vast majority of
us are far too busy taking care of our own little world. We don't take the time
to send a personal, real greeting card.
Here's something that
can be a nice compromise for those who don't have enough time to send real
cards, but still want a personal touch: ecards.
You can find some
really nice ecard websites on the web, with some beautifully designed ecards.
Some of them are really funny and can be animated, so you share a bit more than
a simple picture or image. You can also add your own text to make it more
personal. And the main benefit of ecards: schedule them in advance, and share
them via email or facebook in an instant.
There's a very nice
ecards website that has recently been launched. It's called www.greeet.com (yes, there are 3 'e' in
Greeet, it's not y typo). You'll find there a big choice of birthday ecards,
but also ecards for all types of occasions. www.greeet.com also has a feature that helps you schedule and store
your greetings, so you never miss a greeting or a birthday.
So for those who don't
have the time to send real birthday cards, but still want to share a bit more
personal message than a simple one liner, www.greeet.com
may be worth the visit.
