With Christmas right around the corner, this time of year is when most people start to organize their festive to-do lists. And one of the most important tasks to get checked off your list early is Christmas greetings cards. 

If you’re interested in sending an holiday eCard instead of a static Christmas card but aren’t sure how they work – you’re in the right place. We’ve created a step-by-step guide that’ll tell you everything you need to know about our Christmas eCard process, and how to send an eCard.

A step-by-step guide to holiday eCards

See below for our six easy-to-follow steps to create your own holiday eCard. 

Pick your Christmas eCard service

Firstly, you’ll need to identify which holiday eCard package is right for you. 

At eCO2 Greetings, we understand that not all businesses are the same. So, we’ve been sure not to take a one-size-fits-all approach to our holiday eCard packages. Instead, we offer three different options, tailored to provide eCards to suit all types of businesses. Your business may suit an animated Christmas eCard better or even a custom Christmas eCard, the choice is yours!  

See below for more information on our digital Christmas eCard options.  

eCO2 Greetings Standard Christmas eCards

Have a certain amount of recipients in mind? Looking for a ready-made, hassle-free quality bespoke eCard that’ll bring a smile to your clients (or colleagues!) faces that you can also personalize? Our standard Christmas eCard package may be the best option for you. 

With our standard Christmas eCard package, you can choose from many Christmas templates, add messaging, and even include Christmas-themed music for your selected recipients. For more information on our Christmas eCard packages, click here.

Our Bespoke Christmas eCard package is perfect for those who have a clear idea of how they want their Christmas greeting cards to look. This type of eCard will require more personalization than any of our other packages.

All you have to do is provide us with a brief (and the assets you would like included within the eCard), and our expert team of designers will take care of everything else. This is the ideal package for those looking for a quick, hassle-free, custom eCard that can be sent out to unlimited recipients.

Choose your eCard template

If you’re using our Bespoke eCard service, we’ll take you through the process when you contact us. For our standard or premium eCard packages, start the process by selecting an eCard template. 

From traditional style templates and religious Christmas-themed eCards to festive fun animation and illustration options and more, you’ll start your process by browsing through our catalogues of templates. 

If you’re choosing a Premium eCard, you’ll be able to browse through many animated templates that allow for more customization. For example, we have plenty of designs where you can add the faces of your colleagues or clients! 

Personalize your holiday eCard

Once you’ve found a template that suits you, it’s time to move on to the next part of the process. Personalization! 

Depending on your Christmas eCard package, this step is where you begin making your eCard stand out from the rest. For example, this can include adding your imagery, messages and company branding. 

Add Christmas-themed music 

Once you’re happy with how you’ve personalized your eCard, it’s time to include a few Christmas features – perfect for getting your recipients into the holiday spirit! 

No matter which eCard package you choose, you’ll have access to an abundance of Christmas music tracks to include in your eCard. Simply pick the right music to suit your eCard, and you’re ready to move on to the next step. 

Send your custom eCard 

It really is that simple. Once you’ve created and saved your Christmas eCard to your account, it’s ready to be sent whenever you’re ready.  

We recommend performing a test of sending your eCard. To do this, send the eCard directly from your account with us to your personal email. 

We advise testing your eCard to ensure you’re delighted with how it’ll appear to your recipients. Our eCards can be altered right up until it’s sent, so this would be the perfect opportunity for tweaking (if required). 

As long as you have the correct contact information, you can send out your Christmas eCard via many different platforms. There really are no limitations. This includes: 

• Email.
• SMS text. 
• Your company email platform system. 
• All social media platforms. 
• All online messaging platforms (e.g. Facebook Messenger)
• All business messaging platforms (e.g. Slack). 

It’s also worth noting that our eCards are optimised for desktop and mobile. So, no matter which device your recipients are using, they’ll receive your eCard exactly how you intended.
