 The greeting card business is a massive world wide business. In Canada and the USA, there are specialized stores that basically just sell greeting cards. Perhaps more telling is the fact that the world's biggest retailer WalMart has a greeting card aisle located close to the entrance to the store and the cash registers. One of the first exciting tasks a newbie on the internet can do is send a greeting card by email. There's no doubt about it, the greeting card business is all around us. Why? Well people just want to connect with other people. Birthdays, anniversaries, and religious events all foster the sending of greeting cards. It is almost an obligation.

However there are a few built in challenges. We forget or we are just too busy or both.

How many times have you wished you had sent a card to a relative or friend? How many times could you have improved on a business or personal relationship if you had only send a "thank you" card. How about an "I am Sorry" card. What do you think is the number one reason why we don't send cards? The first one is we simply remember but usually too late to send a card for a birthday or anniversary. The second reason is we simply are too busy to go to the store to pick a card, write it and the mail it.

Some of us use the free email greeting cards you can get over the net. While they are certainly better than no greeting card, they do lack that nice feeling you get when you get a personal letter or card in the real mail.

What if you could send a real greeting card via your computer? What if you can have a small business whereby you could offer this service to other people? What if this service was not only cost effective but efficient as well as offering lots of choices,  personalization of cards and a built in reminder system?

This is a "feel good" business because you feel better when you help someone else feel better. Great way to keep in touch with family, friends and business associates.

 It 's much easier to sell a new product to an old customer than find a new customer. Businesses  lose old customers through "indifference" This is a great way to retain and maintain all your customers by sending them a custom card on a regular  basis. Stand out from your competitors. This is not just another mass mailer card, it can be totally customized by you at the click of a mouse.

There are several levels of membership. One for just customers who have a low to medium range expected usage and one for high users, probably businesses. There is also a distributorship available for those who want to make this a stand alone or an "add on" small  business venture.
