True, they won’t get any sweet handmade cards with stray blobs of glue and glitter from Fluffy or Fido, but they can get one in their email inbox instead!

SloppyKissCards.com is all about pet e-cards, from dogs and cats to pretty much everything in between, including ferrets, chinchillas, and even horses. You can even choose specifically what breed you want featured on the card, and several of the categories let you upload your own pet photos to use.

Of course, it doesn’t just feature Father’s Day – they have a huge range of holidays to choose from, as well as cards for birthdays, thank you’s, thinking of you, congrats, etc. They’ve pretty much got it covered!

Giveaway: Toast To Women!

E-cards and postcards…do you use them for quilting friends and customers (if you have a business)? A discussion evolved about this at a blog I read regularly.

I used to open e-cards and enjoyed receiving them. Then spammers and hackers began using them for their own reasons, even to infect our computers with viruses. So there is only one person whose e-cards I’ll open. (Some say they don’t even open cards from people they know for fear someone may have “borrowed” the friend’s e-mail address.)

 However, people do still like to receive cards and notes in the mail.

“Mary, I was so surprised to get your letter in the mail, “ a friend remarked. “I didn’t think people bothered to do that any more with e-mail and all.”

So I spend the postage to send cards and notes to customers and special people in my life. I regularly send postcard updates about my business and products to customers and find the results are worthwhile. My husband and I design these cards on our computer and can personalize them.

What about you?

Do you open e-cards?

Do you send postcards and letters to customers and feel it’s worth the postage?

Share with us.
