Lovely Sun(ny)day morning and cup of tea with ginger and elaichi, time to catch up with the week gone by with a newspaper I grew up reading- Times of India, a Kishore Kumar hit number Raah pe rahte hain yaadon mein basar karte hain and e-mails from the dear ol? friends flocking in my Incredimail!
Hmm, I didn?t even get time to read them properly...to reply them seem distant in the weekdays. Now is the time to sit and reply to them. There are some friends who are very dear to me as much as, I know, they feel the same way for me.
Obviously, even if they know me so very well, I understand that a mere reply e-mail may not be enough, so I need to add some more personal touch to it. For that, an e greeting would serve the purpose!
It is but understood that if one sends a greeting card, the recipient feels treasured and important. It goes on to show that you have made a special effort of keeping that person in mind and searching and choosing a card for him or her as per the occasion. And I like many have followed this concept!
Ever since I have been introduced to the world of Internet, I have always preferred 123greetings. Com in comparison to other card sites. Simple reason being that this site has a beautiful interface and is easy to navigate. Let me try and elaborate on them:
1) Extremely well organized, colorful yet soothing to the eyes. Even a novice can operate on this site.
2) Perhaps the one of the best few free e card sites available on the Internet. So, what if there are those pop-ups? After all they need revenue for keep their free service running!
3) Exhaustive number of e cards under every category to suit each and every occasion. So, you can simply browse through the e cards in your particular category and make your pick according to your taste, or her?s?!
4) If there is a general occasion like a festival or some National day, you may send a single card to many of your friends and avoid clicking and sending to each of them one at a time.
5) You can also adorn the card with your personal touch by:
a) calibrating the font size
b) changing the font style,
c) using different colors
d) modifying the background
e) adding a personal message,
f) selecting music to suit the occasion
6) For someone who might forget an important day in his or her friend?s life like a birthday or anniversary- there is a special provision wherein you can set a date for the delivery of your card. And in between, if you want to change the e-card, you can also do so!
7) You can know exactly when your friend has viewed your card. This is possible to enabling a notification feature that I find pretty impressive.
8) Finally, you can preview the masterpiece to your satisfaction and send it in order to create an everlasting impression in the heart of your friend!
So, go ahead, select and send an e-card to your loved ones and show to them that they are on your mind!
It?s all worth the effort!
Till next time,
Keep smiling India, Chhail:-)
