  • 1.  E-card source

    Posted 03-06-2023 12:32 PM

    I thought I posted this question last week, but now can't find it! I've seen prior discussions about using e-cards as a fundraising tool. The idea being a donor could select a card with one of our animals picture and have it "sent" to their recipient. The event could be Valentine Day, a birthday...whatever. We want to try it for Easter. But I have not found a source (if  there are any) of e-cards we could access (buy?), customize and send. Or is a self-design our best (only) option???

    Thanks

    Jim, there were a couple of comments about e-cards on this Valentine's Day Promotions thread from @Ali Porter (#18 post on thread), @bonnie hiliadis (#64 post on thread) and @Stephanie Salvago (#70 on thread). Bonnie shared the e-card platform https://www.dontsendmeacard.com/. Ali & Stephanie, could you share which e-card platform you used too?

    We just created our own card, see attached, and then emailed it out through Mailchimp and also used a Google number to text it to the person.

     We did not use a particular platform but may do that next time.
