SEND FREE E-CARDS: SPREAD SOME CHEER

Sending a free e-card is one of the simplest ways you can make a difference. With the click of a mouse, you can brighten a loved one's day with a free electronic greeting card, known as an e-card.

Not all acts of kindness have to be directed at the less fortunate. In fact, everybody needs a little boost from time-to-time. Perhaps your boss is lonely at the top, or your friend is long lost, or your coworker feels unappreciated. An e-card may be just what he or she needs.

Imagine your recipient opening his email inbox on a particularly bad day. He clicks through the incoming messages... assignments from work, bill reminders, advertisements. Then, he sees something a little different — an upbeat, personalized ecard from someone who cares. It's a small gesture, but an e-card can make a big difference to a friend that's feeling down.

Free e-cards take just a few minutes to choose, personalize, and send. Yet your few minutes of effort can do a great deal to lift a friend's spirit. You don't even have to buy a stamp.

It's easy to send a free e-card to someone who could use a little cheering-up or acknowledgement. Don't wait for a birthday or a special occasion to send a free email card. Make any day a celebration. Free e-card websites offer electronic greeting cards for just about every type of message as well as for hundreds of off-beat holidays such as Balloon Animal Day and Build a Sofa Fort with Your Kids Day.

The key to making an impact with your free ecard is to personalize, personalize, personalize. The novelty of receiving a signed animated message has worn off for most e-card recipients. People want to know that there is someone behind the e-card, a friend that is thinking about them.

You don't need to write a lengthy e-card message. But, do write a sentence or two to let the recipient know that you care.

Consider using one of these e-card writing prompts:

  • "I want to thank you for..."
  • "One thing I've always admired about you is..."
  • "Do you remember the time we..."
  • "You really made my day when..."

Sending a free e-card will take you a few minutes, but can make a whole day better for the surprised recipient. What an easy way to make a difference!
