You'll be shocked when you find out how much you spend on greeting cards!

Ever wonder how much things all add up to sometimes? Well the humble greeting card surely isn’t making a huge dent in your pocket is it? Think again…

Hold on a second I hear you say, I only send a handful of birthday cards, then some thank you cards, and then of course I send everyone a Christmas card… wait, how much am I spending including stamps?

You are watching: You'll be shocked when you find out how much you spend on greeting cards!

How much you’re spending on cards:

Example demonstrating how easy it is to spend in excess of £500 on cards per year

Grab your calculator and have a go at the above. It’s also worth considering that:

• A bit of cardboard costs multiple pounds • A first class stamp now almost costs a quid • Many cards get binned shortly after the occasion

Wow that’s a lot per year, how much am I spending in my lifetime?

Times it by the years you started sending cards and up to the point in your life when you reckon you’ll be too much into Cyber Eastenders 2040 with your feet up to bother popping out for cards that year going forward.

But I’ve always sent cards… what else can I do?

Don’t worry we’ve got the perfect alternative for you to spend the exact same amount, but see that money go to incredible use and purpose and still mark the occasion…You can achieve this by giving the cost of cards to charity and sending high-quality e-card designs instead!

The alternative – what you get with DontSendMeACard

1. High-quality e-cards creatively designed by charities

The artwork departments at the charities really have come up with some great stuff. Take a look at the galleries. We think these top the corny and stuffy designs you’ll find on the high-street.

More and more people are sending ecards designed by charities rather than printed cards from the high-street

2. Receive a volume of e-cards to send

For single occasions where you would send just one card e.g. birthdays, you are assigned a volume of x5 e-cards to send.For common occasions where you would send multiple cards at the same time e.g. Christmas, you are assigned a volume of x100 e-cards to send.Your volumes don’t expire and you can come back to use them up at any time.

3. Delivery reporting

Know that your online greeting cards have been received. You can view a delivery report of each of your e-card sends. It’s kind of like having your own virtual courier service for your e-cards!

4. Carbon tracking

We tally up for you how much carbon you’ve saved. This equates to 140g of C02e (carbon equivalent) per paper card not sent. Every little helps and you can feel good about making a greener choice.

Times are changing

Personally I am always surprised when some of the most technically incompetent people I know all of a sudden have a device and have gotten to grips with the internet, email, apps and the works. I guess we’re so far past Windows Vista where it was hard work to just turn on a computer.The point being that we are communicating more and more electronically and sending a digital version of a greeting is more relevant these days.With over 1200 charities on board the platform, actively being creative and designing birthday ecards and more for you to send and support them, is it time to start doing something a bit more current and different?

Only if it’s for you of course

We respect the fact that greeting cards won’t be going away. And that there are two distinct camps when it comes to our offering – those that agree with what we’re doing and those that insist that physical cards must be sent.Where do you sit?If you’d like to give us a try you can send your first e-card. The minimum donation is £1 and 100% of what you give goes to charity bar any transaction fees. So there’s really nothing to lose to give it a spin.Once you’ve made your first donation you’ll then be invited to access our user account system to access all the e-card features.Or to find out more pop over to the main site and take a peek: www.DontSendMeACard.com
