Now more than ever is the time to get real value for money. In the difficult economic climate, consumers and business owners are tightening their belts in a bid to ensure that they survive the recession in a healthy state. Business owners and consumers are cutting out what they consider to be ‘non-essentials'for example: one quarter of the british workforce is going without a Christmas party this year.

In this time of thrift, effort and care goes a long way. Time taken to ensure that customers and staff feel they are being handled thoughtfully is the best way to boost productivity and repeat custom. If staff feel taken for granted or ignored, the result can be that customers are treated callously. A caring customer experience is about following up every query with the right information, trying to find a solution to problems and making sure all ends are tied up properly but it is also polite service, a friendly voice, the ability to apologise when something goes wrong and going that extra mile.

Where do business E cards come in?

Sending a high quality, well designed business E card  with a seasonal greeting is a brilliant way to show your customers and staff that you care for them without breaking the bank. A corporate ecard featuring your logo, weblink and message is a fun and thoughtful way to send greetings without pushing an overt sales message.

Presenting your customers and prospects with a humorous, engaging or evocative animated e card grabs their attention and entertains them whilst delivering your companie's message. They are a great way to increase brand awareness and web traffic, present a smart and professional image and convey that your company is forward-thinking and cares about the environment.

The recession and ecards

These are tough times for everyone, therefore the most effective time to be sending a low-cost e card to raise your staff and customers festive spirits is at Christmas, especially if the content is humourous or interactive and it is also a fantastic way to incorporate your business logo. Many companies have decided to add company e cards to their overall marketing strategy because:

  • E cards are cheap to produce and send (resulting in a positive ROI)
  • They are quick to organise and create
  • The method does not exhaust your lists - this is an additional, non-aggressive way of communicating
  • E cards send out positive messages to customers and prospects, showing your company to be tech-savvy and eco-aware
  • Show that you value your customers and staff
  • Generate more exposure for your brand

Business Christmas e cards are low-cost but highly effective. Corporate e cards start from as little as £95 so offer options for all budgets. Bespoke, custom built e cards are more expensive, but in return you will be sending an e card that is tailor made for your business, focused on your brand identity, business objectives, product and services.
