Valentine E-Cards: The Next Big Thing?

With so many people receiving and giving anonymous Valentines cards, could personalized valentine e-cards be the next big thing? Personalized poetry and card site Poetry Occasions certainly hope so, having just launched the long-awaited valentines e-card range. Liam Bailey, the Man behind Poetry Occasions gave me the skinny on the new range:

"So many people write their own additional verses into valentines cards, but the verses are so tired, roses are red and such like, Poetry Occasions e-card, like their print counterparts, will each have a personalized poem, based on information provided by the buyer making it a unique and truly special love poem -- certain to have sweethearts melting. Offices and workplaces immediately spring to mind, people could order a valentines e-card, with a personalized short love poem on the back, and have it sent to a secret crush(es) in their workplace."

The great thing is the cards are free, people pay only for the verse and the price therefore depends on the size of verse they choose: £3.99 for a small 4 line verse, £7.49 for a medium 8 line verse and £8.99 for a large 12 line verse. The e-cards will be sent as a html attachment, with a link in the email body to the e-card published on-line in case the recipient is untrusting of unsolicited attachments. Upon opening or visiting the card online, first the front will be seen, with the greeting entered by the buyer as well as the recipients name. After a short while the card flips over to reveal the personalized poem written especially for the recipient.

Valentines e-cards are available right now, and the range will be extended to cover all occasions in the coming weeks and months. Printed personalized Valentine cards are also available at Poetry Occasions, as well as personalized birthday cards, anniversary cards and congratulations cards, again the range will be extended in the coming weeks.
