Looking For Free E-Cards

By Donald Lodge

Many people are turning to free e-cards to express their feelings towards family and friends or to celebrate a holiday or special occasion. With the escalating price of physical greeting cards, not to mention the cost in sending them and the concern with the environmental impact of everything we do sending a free e-card seems to make more sense all the time. And you can show just as much love and thoughtfulness with a free e-card as a regular store bought card.

Most all of the companies that produce standard greeting cards also have a free online version which you can access through their web sites. Hallmark Cards, American Greeting and Blue Mountain are some of the companies that offer free e-cards along with their regular cards. Of course their hope is that you will go ahead and buy one of their online cards which are still much cheaper than those you purchase in stores or retail outlets. Every holiday and occasion imaginable is available in an e-card. Technology has made the animation of many of these cards outstanding.

Many e-card sites will let you "build" your own card and personalize it any way you want. E-cards are big business now a days and while they may be free for you companies pull out all the stops to provide you with the best possible e-cards available. Advertising revenue is what drives these companies as thousands of people access these sites on a daily basis.

Finding a free e-card site is not difficult to do. Any search engine such as Google or Yahoo will yield thousands of results for you to check out. Most of the sites are very well thought out and organized with categories for each different holiday and occasion so you don't have to search through the thousands of cards available. Find the card you want to send, type in the email address of the recipient hit the send button and your free e-card zips across cyberspace to land in your loved ones email box. People love to receive e-cards from those they know and it is often a pleasant surprise after all the junk email one receives to find a personalized greeting waiting for them.

So before that next holiday or special event arrives give some thought to checking out the many e-card sites available online. You will be saving time, money and protecting the environment while showing someone how much you care for them. What could make more sense? And all of it made possible by sending a free e-card.
