From Original Art Note Cards

Greeting cards are, by far, the best way to express your emotions with the written word. If you think about it for a moment, they have been used to communicate every emotion we know. And because we have all received cards with well wishes we know just how effective they are in getting the message through.

In fact, greeting cards are so effective; they have been in use since the 13th century. When the Chinese used them to send messages of good will and good cheer for the New Year. About 100 years later the German’s adopted the greeting card and added prints from woodcuts to their New Year’s messages.

In the US, the Greeting Card Association (GCA) was formed in 1941 to preserve the tradition of sending and receiving greeting cards in the face of wartime pressures to conserve resources. In doing so they showed how effective cards were for keeping families and friends in touch. They also showed how cards effectively boosted the morale of soldiers fighting in the field.

We all think of greeting cards for holidays and birthdays, but the most powerful argument for the greeting card, is that it has grown in popularity for everyday occasions in spite of texting, e-cards, and e-mail. That’s because every card possesses the power to touch people’s emotions. The greeting card has been, and continues to be, an integral part of keeping friends and family emotionally connected. In fact, 9 out of 10 people enjoy receiving cards because it makes them feel that they are important to someone else.
