The Greening Of Greeting Cards: How Usendu.com Takes It One Step Further!

Americans purchase an estimated 7 billion paper greeting cards each year! Though some greeting card companies use recycled paper, by no means is it a widespread practice and most use toxic printer inks and fixing agents too. Add to that the energy required to transport greeting cards from your mailbox to loved ones all across the country (or around the world!) and you’re looking at a huge environmental impact.

eCards solve ALL of the environmental problems associated with the greeting card business, which includes everything ranging from funny eCards and love eCards, to Christmas eCards and birthday eCards. Digitally produced and sent via email, eCards require no paper, no ink and no transportation meaning you can help:

  • Save trees that would otherwise be used for greeting card paper
  • Cut down on the use of toxic chemicals in the form of ink and fixing agents
  • Eliminate the transportation energy associated with conventional greeting cards
  • Cut down on cards sent to landfills or the energy required to recycle them

Granted, you can make these eco-friendly differences using just about any online eCard provider, but UsendU.com takes it four steps further by:

  1. Using solar energy to power the website where you create your UsendU eCards
  2. Planting a tree for every UsendU.com video ecard subscriber
  3. Hosting a Green Community on UsendU.com
  4. Providing to all UsendU subscribers a Greenings newsletter, filled with eco-friendly facts, tips and product reviews

Created and owned by Bill Kurasz, UsendU.com is a natural extension of the electronic greeting card business he started back in 2000. AcapellaFella.com was the first online vaudevillian greeting card service. With a background in performing and singing that dates back to elementary school, Bill was a natural for writing and singing parodies of popular songs on AcapellaFella.com.

However, while AcapellaFella.com features animated graphics accompanied by Bill’s voice, UsendU.com enables you to create the card content yourself! Not only can you choose the cover art and write the message for the front and inside of your eCards, but you can upload your own videos too.  So please, think outside the mailbox!

“Express yourself,” says Bill of the eco-friendly, one of a kind opportunity you have with UsendU.com eCards. “Recite. Sing. Dance. Perform. Promote a product. Promote a service. Promote yourself.”

In other words, UsendU.com eCards not only give you an opportunity help save the planet. It’s also an innovative way of giving to your family, friends, colleagues and clients what Bill considers the most precious gift of all – you!
