Default What would you do ?

Don't know if there are polls on here
But maybe you can give me your thoughts

Would you send an ecard in replacement of a normal (paper) card with environmental issues in mind ?

Thanks Love Fuzzy

I wouldn't send an ecard in replacement of a normal card. To be honest, I prefer to send a paper card to someone to make sure they get it in time. Not all my friends are online all the time like moi!

I send a mixture of both, it depends on who its going to. I try to bear in mind enviro issues but it is nice to get a card in the post. If I do send cards I only send recycled and/or charity cards.

Nope, I like to write a card, include a little note in it etc! We all to often do everything online, and i think the pen is fading out!

I agree, ecards are associated with viruses nowadays, sad but true, I NEVER open them and if a customer does and it causes issues I let them know they are mad for opening it.

paper cards are opened and displayed, ecards are sometimes opened and are just forgotten about.
