Money
Did you know that over the course of a year, the average family (two adults, two children) purchases, a phenomenal 390 cards!
Of these cards, almost 250 will need to be posted.
On average, posting a paper card costs at least 34p. Over a year, posting paper cards will cost you almost £85.
Total cost of paper greeting card purchase plus postage per family, per year is a whopping £650!
These figures, of course, don't include the cost of large cards, heavy cards, travel to the card shop (car or public transport) or the cost of parking if travelling by car, and what about all those impulse purchases you do on route to and from the card shop!

Green reasons
Paper cards have a huge carbon footprint in relation to their small size:
- tree production
- felling and transportation
- card manufacture (including ink and factory running costs)
- distribution to card shops
- purchase costs (travel to and from card shop)
- postage costs (stamp manufacture, postal delivery costs)
- card disposal (plus musical cards with mercury batteries will add to landfill)
On the carbon footprint reduction side, did you realise that the average family uses at least a tree per person per year to send their cards. Just think how many forests that equates to!
Also the ink used for printing the cards is not environmentally friendly and there are manufacturing costs to think about. Many cards produced today have plastic parts on them or batteries containing mercury. None of these items decompose fast leading to an increase in the landfill problem.
After Christmas the average family disposes at least half a large black plastic sack of greetings cards. Imagine how many sacks of rubbish that equates to for each street, village, town or city of families.
With free e cards, not only are you helping to save the environment but you are reducing space in your rubbish bin!
Instant e-card delivery
How many times have you dropped a greetings card in the post box hoping that it will reach your friend on time?
These days the postal services admit that they cannot guarantee that their First Class post will reach the destination the next day, and don't forget that they also admit that a large percentage of mail is lost every year and never reaches the destination at all!
How many frosty atmospheres have been created or friendships destroyed by late or lost post?
With our free e-cards here at www.free-ecards-group.com, the moment you receive the notification that your e card has been sent, you know that there is also a notification in your friend's email box that there is an e-card waiting for them.
Instant peace of mind that your free ecard is waiting for your friend to open it!
