It has become much more common for companies to send business e cards at times of celebration rather than using traditional cards, such as business Christmas cards. It can be seen as being more professional, more responsible in terms of the environment and it certainly saves on postage and materials, reducing your expenses.

How much control do you have over your corporate e cards though? Do you need to create them from scratch in-house and how do you mange the process of design and distribution?

Many businesses use companies that specialise in corporate e cards to help them with this process – such as us at eCO2 Greetings. The process can be very smooth, from choosing your design to distributing your business e cards to customers. A design can even be created from scratch if your company wishes to have a totally bespoke corporate e card design, including musical accompaniment if you really want your organisation to stand out from the crowd.

Even if you do not want to create a bespoke design, a personalised and branded corporate e card can be created choosing from a selection of existing designs and uploading your company logo or slogan – ensuring that all your communications, even corporate e cards, are in line with your company brand image.

Corporate e cards can be amended as you go along – ensuring that there are no expensive mistakes as there can be with the process of producing traditional business Christmas cards and printing. Once you are happy with the finished product, your corporate e card can be distributed via the help of an e card company who can send it as though it were sent from your email address - as often it will feel more personal to customers who are expecting to receive correspondence from you, especially during the festive season.
