The days
of the good old greeting card are long gone and now, most people prefer to sit
on their computers and send an e-card instead. E-cards are faster, cheaper and
easy to select and send. The best part is that they are animated and people
love to see custom animation via e-cards. But, what if you simply forget an
important date? What do you do? Send a belated e-card? Not when you have e-card
mailers around. An e-card mailer is an automated system that allows you to send
out e-cards to several people with the click of a mouse. It means an end to all
the hassles of manually entering each e-mail address. The e-card mailer has a
contact manager that lets you store contacts and the important dates associated
with that contact. You no longer have to remember all the birthdays and
anniversaries of your family and friends. The contact manager will
automatically remind you of the important dates a day or two in advance. It is
fast, easy and fun to send e-cards with an e-card mailer.
Step by Step process
The
first step is to create an e-card. This is extremely easy and you can select
from thousands of e-card designs. Then you can customize it wit your own words
and even photographs. Several people announce the arrival of their new baby
this way. A photograph with a message in tow. Once you have customized the
e-card, you can preview it. If you are satisfied, then you select the contacts
from the contact manager and send the e-card to one or more recipients.
However, not all e-card mailers provide all the above mentioned services. Some
e-card mailers only allow you to create text based e-cards with minimum
graphics. There are other advanced versions that let you choose e-cards with
animation and music to match. Also some e-card mailers let you create as many
messages as you wish at a time and then schedule them to be sent out in due
time.
Free and paid
An
e-card mailer is usually a paid service that is available on a one time payment
or a monthly fee. However, a free trial version of the e-card mailer may also
be available with minimum functionalities.
