As a card publisher, we’ve sold over 100 million greeting cards in the past 10 years and truly believe you can’t short circuit sentiment. A handwritten card really means something to the receiver…and to the sender. It genuinely is a statement of caring and sincerity. While e-cards are better than nothing, you can’t beat a tangible reminder that someone is thinking of you. Americans exchange approximately 7 billion cards every year - we are the most prolific card senders in the world – that’s a whole lot of joy, sympathy and congratulations! – Robin Bradley, Phoenix Trading Couldn’t agree more!

My daughters are just old enough to remember how wonderful it was to get cards from relatives in the mailbox, but now they only get e-cards.
