Free e-Cards

It's always *someone's* birthday...

Or anniversary...

Or it's a holiday...

Or a special event...

And sometimes, you just want to drop a note to someone. While an email is too impersonal, an e-card is just the right thing.

These days, many e-greeting card sites are going the way of paid services.

Here's one that's familiar already, but I bet you didn't know you could send FREE e-Cards through them....good old Amazon has Free e-Cards:




Of course you can attach an Amazon.com e-gift-certificate, but it's not required at all - and you still get all the bells and whistles:

  • There are various collections of art, photography and other themes to use as the graphic
  • You can schedule the e-card to be delivered in the future
  • There is a feature to "attach audio" so you can even record a voice note to go with the ecard
  • You have the option to send a universal amazon gift-card with it of any amount
  • It's FREE!

What other free e-card sites do you use or know about?

Send a Free Valentine's Photo Greeting Card

Free Card Offer Shutterfly.com has really impressed me recently. They quality of their product and service is pretty much above par relative to the rest of the photo sites out there. Even from when you open the packaging, you'll really feel like this is not some cut-rate cheapo service. High-quality packaging sets the tone from the start. The prints DO come out a little more vibrant than some of the other photo finishing services -- try your own comparison and order the same photo print from different places and do a blind test at home. I think you'll find Shutterfly will top the list.

And just in time for Valentine's Day, here's a chance to test out their photo card product. You'll be pleasantly satisfied with the THICK paper used for their greeting cards with glossy finish. VERY professional. Very addicting in my opinion. The challenge is to get over the inertia and create more photo gift items throughout the year.
