Why are group ecards here to stay?

Are group ecards just the shiny new thing or a revolutionized essential product?

You have been seeing them a lot recently, popping in via email, chat, in LinkedIn posts or even on your Facebook profile. Group ecards are everywhere now and we expect them to stay relevant in future as well.

First, what are group ecards?

Group ecards are virtual greeting cards that can help you celebrate your loved ones’ occasions. The special thing about digital cards is that they can be easily shared and signed online in just a blink of an eye. Go crazy as the options are unlimited. You can send ecards to your friends, colleagues, family members or even your dog. I bet the dog would appreciate the animal pun ecard collection we have.

Now that we have cleared that up, why are group ecards so popular?

Group ecards became extremely relevant in early 2020 as teams were sent on a long work from home adventure globally. With this, sending online group greeting cards instead of the usual paper office cards became the new normal. Knowing how easy group ecards work makes me wonder why I didn’t start using them earlier myself.

Group ecards are easy to use and ready in only 30 seconds, which is a huge advantage compared to the print alternatives or the standard digital ecards.

We, at EcardForest love simplicity and made our group ecards exceptionally easy to use:

• You choose a card from the ecard catalogue
• Buy it using your credit/ debit card
• Let multiple people sign by sharing a link
• When everyone is done signing, you can share the card with the receiver

Four easy steps to a group ecard

Group ecards are social. You can share the ecards with everyone and anyone no matter the distance. This turned out to be a big driver of the success of group ecards when a lot of companies shifted to work from home. Yet even in future, people are going to be less and less in the office, making is almost impossible to get a print card signed by the full team.

Group ecards are creative. From animated group ecards to 3D team cards, from funny ecards with puns to text group cards — you will certainly find the right one. The ecard you create is completely unique and can be filled with fun messages, colourful texts and GIFs.

When the creativity unfolds: What an ecard looks like

In short, the balance between simplicity of use and customization is key and the main driver for the success of group ecards. Offering the answer to the question of how to celebrate occasions digitally no matter the distance, makes group ecards relevant today but also ready for the future, whatever it might hold.
