You sure can. Check out Hallmark online. You have a reasonable selection of Holiday cards, birthday cards, personal cards, etc, for between $2.29 to $4.99 each. I would assume this doesn’t include postage, Though I could be wrong.

That is about what you can purchase different types of occasional cards for from the local Hallmark store. Of course you have to drive to the store, pick out the card, fill out the inside part, sign it, and last but not least mail it.

A lot of work, trouble and expense isn’t it? Especially with the price of gas, so you better remember to get your cards while you are going to town. Then you can save the extra drive time and gas cost in getting someone a nice birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other special occasion card.

Is there a solution for getting real, in the mail cards, online. Where you can choose from a huge selection of thousands of beautiful cards. Where you can have special options that allow you to do such things as upload a family picture, add you own signature and all the other great things you should be able to do on this most fantastic internet?

Yes there is!

There is a new company in town. This company has taken the very old idea of sending beautiful cards to people to let them know they are appreciated and put a new twist on it. They have put together technology that will allow you maintain a data base of all the people you know in one place. You can sort the database into as many groups as you like. You can send one card at the time, pick one card and send it to everyone in a specific group or send that one card to all the groups you have at once.

They allow you to upload pictures and put them on card. You can take a picture of the family, an individual child, a group, or any other type of picture and put it on one side of the interior of the card and put your written greeting on the other. You can have multiple signatures on file and use the one you choose. You can use your own hand writing, though they have several that are very nice (a lot better than mine). You can use color fonts and even design or have designed for you, special cards just for your use.

They have over 8,000 card for you to select from. They have cards in broad categories like Expressions, Holiday and occasions, keeping in touch, My Cards (a selection of specialty cards), Special Collection, and Special Interest. Under each of these categories they have from five to ten more sub-categories. They have so many different types of cards and so many things you can do with a card that I would have to write a manual to explain them all.

Now for the part you have been waiting for. How much does it cost?

Man, with all that I have just went over I bet you think that these cards will cost you an arm and a leg, don’t you?

They don’t. The retail cost of the cards range from $.49 for a very nice post card to $1.47 for a laminated card with the uploaded picture of your choice on it.

That is a fantastic price for the value you receive. To get all the details you really should take a tour of the site and send a card or two to see how it feels.

I know you have someone you are thinking of right now that you would love to send a card to. Sending cards makes you feel great as the sender and receiving cards makes you feel great as the receiver.

Remember, building and maintaining relationships is a lot easier when you send out cards. Real get them in the US Postal Mail type cards.

Two days ago, I had my 24th birthday. Growing up, my parents had never extended me much leeway when it came to my birthday. It was a time when I should reflect over the previous year, and try to set an example for the next year. Over the years, this has kind of sunk in and my birthdays have become more of a non-event that few people even know about.

Therefore, I was a bit surprised when I received a lot of facebook wall posts from people wishing me a happy birthday. Some of them were from people I barely knew or talked to for a long time! What is going on here? Last year, I hadn’t received a single wall post from anyone, so where do these people all of a sudden come from?

I soon realized that it was because of the feature on facebook where people can see the latest activity of their friends when you log in. When someone wishes me a happy birthday, other people can see that wish, and become aware that it is my birthday. Therefore, they kind of just ‘tag along’ and send their birthday wishes as well.

This poses an interesting situation much like Digg. If one or two people remember your birthday and posts on your wall, then your birthday gains attention and you get a whole bunch more posts. It’s like once that particular idea gains a certain amount of popularity, it just starts exploding as everyone starts to understand it. If you don’t get enough wall posts, then like Digg, the story ‘dies’ and doesn’t gain much popularity.

This really extends to pretty much any idea that spreads through the population, as Digg and facebook are just technical extensions of the natural way things work. When ‘news’ come up, people talk to each other about it, and at some point, it’ll die, or spread wildly to become something that everyone knows about.

The really interesting part is that the difference between the two might just be the difference of a few people! For example, a story on Digg that’s been dugg 18 times may be at the top of page 2, and just doesn’t get noticed. However, if it gets dugg 20 times, then it might be on the bottom of page one, getting significantly more notice, which in turn allows it to get to another more popular page, etc. In that case, the difference between millions of people noticing and having a failure is just a few extra diggs! That last little bit of effort you put in to promoting your idea could really be worth a lot more than it appears on the surface!

This seems like an important consideration especially whether you’re running a business or trying to spread a new idea. Just a few extra customer recommendations may make your company the one that dominates your specific market! Just a few extra people subscribing to your ideas may make it the one that gets adopted!

It seems like the line between success and failure may just be those last extra couple of steps.

As parents, we always want to give our children the best. Kids always look forward to their birthday with great anticipation and excitement. Inasmuch as we want to celebrate each birthday with a bang, we may not always have the budget to afford it. Here are some ways that poster printing can help you with your kid’s birthday party, without breaking the bank.

1. Design a unique Happy Birthday poster for your kid. If you’re having a themed party, customize the poster to the theme. The print will serve as a pleasant backdrop for the party.

2. Have your online printing company print a huge birthday poster where guests can sign and write their birthday wishes on. You can hang this near the entrance so people can sign as soon as they get there. It’s a good way to count the guests who came to your party!

3. Keep your guests active by having games that they can participate in. Do a variation of the usual birthday game “pin-the-tail on the donkey” using a poster print of the birthday celebrator and let the kids pin the birthday on his picture. It’s like an informal birthday roast, kiddie version!

4. Set the tone and theme using your child’s favorite colors, toys or cartoon character and the celebration will be livelier. Themed parties are always more interesting. Don’t spend too much money on the decorations. Try these poster print suggestions for a different birthday party theme:

a. For a princess themed party, have princess posters printed. Design a poster of your little girl’s favorite princess. If she has many favorites, try making a princesses collection poster. Your kid can even use these to decorate her room after!

b. A pirate theme would be perfect for your little boy’s birthday party. Have posters printed out of skulls and crossbones, pirate signs, treasure maps, and buried treasure! A poster print of a treasure map would be a perfect guide for kids to follow on a “find the hidden treasure” game.

c. Celebrate baby’s first birthday by having poster decorations of your baby’s firsts: first step, first smile, first trip, and more!

Poster prints offer you a versatile and reasonably-priced material to help you make your kid’s birthday extra special. Make sure you choose a reliable printing company for your prints, one that will help you with your file setup, design, and provide excellent customer service. Search online for reviews of printing companies to help you decide which company to choose.
