Why Greeting Cards are Better than E-Cards

Why Greeting Cards are Better than E-Cards

Posted by Anna Golub on

In today's digital age, sending an e-card has become a popular way of greeting friends and family for special occasions. However, despite the convenience of e-cards, physical greeting cards still hold a special place in the hearts of many people. Here are some reasons why physical greeting cards are better than e-cards.

Personal touch

Physical greeting cards offer a personal touch that e-cards cannot match. A greeting card shows that the sender has taken the time and effort to pick out a card, write a message, and send it through the mail. It shows that they care enough to go the extra mile to make the recipient feel special. E-cards, on the other hand, lack the personal touch and can often come across as generic.

Emotional impact

A physical greeting card has a greater emotional impact than an e-card. Receiving a real card in the mail can make someone's day and bring a smile to their face. The act of opening an envelope, feeling the texture of the card, and reading the message inside can evoke feelings of warmth and happiness. E-cards, on the other hand, lack the emotional impact of physical cards.

Keepsake value

Physical greeting cards have a keepsake value that e-cards cannot match. People often keep greeting cards as a reminder of a special occasion or to remember a loved one. They can be placed in a scrapbook, displayed on a mantel, or kept in a memory box. E-cards, on the other hand, are easily deleted or forgotten.

Customization

Real greeting cards offer more customization options than e-cards. With paper cards, you can choose the design, color, and texture of the card. You can also add your own personal touches, such as stickers, glitter, or handwritten notes. E-cards, on the other hand, offer limited customization options and often have generic designs.

Accessibility

Paper greeting cards are more accessible than e-cards. Not everyone has access to the internet or a smartphone to receive e-cards. Physical cards can be sent to anyone, anywhere, regardless of their access to technology.



In conclusion, while e-cards offer convenience and speed, true greeting cards offer personal touch, emotional impact, keepsake value, customization, and accessibility. The act of sending and receiving a real greeting card is a meaningful way to show someone that you care. So next time you're thinking about sending a greeting card, consider going the extra mile and sending a physical one.
