We found a list of reasons to use e-cards rather than sending paper cards through snail mail.Â
10– They are interactive: Recipients stay involved as they enjoy your greeting.
 9 – They use multimedia: Experience movement, music, and be part of a story.
 8 – They are online: Anyone in the world with internet access can enjoy them.
 7 – They allow unlimited recipients: Send to as many email addresses as you have.
 6 – There’s no postage: Save the price of a postage stamp for each recipient.
 5 – They can be forwarded: Family and friends can share your greeting with others.
 4 – They are green: No paper or card-stock to dispose of.
 3 – They are reasonable: a one-time fee returns a surprising value, and many are free.
 2 – You have choices: Choose from several rich, professional designs.
 1 – They are personalized: Include your logo or family photo, your greeting, and a link to your website.
But we also found an argument against the use of e-cards. They say that eCards have been used by scammers to get you and your list of friends to click on links, sending them to a website that could hold malware. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a legitimate eCard sent by your friend of family and one sent by a scammer.
They suggest that you can still make use of the convenience of internet speed by instead simply sending your friends and family a standard email. You can attach photos or links to videos, and don’t have to worry if you’re exposing your loved ones to any kind of computer threat. But if you use a site you trust, then your only worry may be that the recipient may be too wary to open the card!
But it’s the thought that counts, right?
