Comparison of e-cards and paper greeting cards

At the end of the year, it is the peak period for relatives and friends to give greeting cards to each other. Recently, it has been discovered that with the advent of the Internet era and the low-carbon era, people's habit of sending greeting cards has quietly changed. The increasingly popular e-cards are becoming more and more popular with the general public, especially netizens, due to the advantages of environmental protection, economy, convenience, speed, and no cost. Traditional paper greeting cards have gradually been "outsided".

From Christmas Eve to now, nearly ten e-cards have been received every day. Classmates, colleagues, and friends from far away surrounded her warmly with blessings sent by e-mail, MSN, etc. She felt happy and warm.

Those who like to send holiday greetings to their friends will go to the bookstore or gift shop to pick some nice greeting cards and mail them out every year. But more people choose to send e-cards to various websites. Now is the Internet age, and the concepts of energy conservation, environmental protection, and low-carbon development are gradually gaining popularity. The use of e-cards can not only convey our blessings efficiently and quickly, but is also a concrete manifestation of the pursuit of a low-carbon life. "

As soon as you open the e-mail box and click on the web link, a colorful e-card appears on the computer screen. The warm holiday blessings and beautiful background music are really surprising and moving. This method of sending e-cards is particularly good. It is convenient, environmentally friendly and less burdensome.

After the New Year's Day, the sales scale and quantity of traditional paper greeting cards in the store decreased significantly. "Previously, primary and secondary school students were the main sources of Christmas and New Year's Day greeting cards. Now even students are reluctant to spend money to buy them."

The owner of a gift shop near a middle school pointed to a pile of leftover greeting cards and said reluctantly that now the sales of traditional greeting cards are not as good as before. Paper greeting cards are expensive and not environmentally friendly. They have to be filled in with pen and mailed, which is too much trouble.

Sociologists believe that one of the reasons why traditional greeting cards have fallen out of favor in the consumer market is the lack of innovation and change. At the same time, it is also the result of constant changes in consumer perceptions. With the increasing development of electronic information and network technology, using electronic greeting cards to exchange greetings has become a fashionable choice for most people.

But it still depends on personal needs. Some people prefer to receive paper greeting cards.
