New Company-branded E-cards Give Businesses Affordable Online Marketing Opportunities

EWING, NJ — August 31, 2004 — CorpNote™, e-cards for business, has released their new "Custom Company Card" Membership, which allows users to upload card designs and photos of their own creation into the CorpNote e-card system. Custom business e-cards, designed with a company’s logo and individualized message, are an affordable online marketing solution for any company looking to reinforce their brand identity, non-profit organizations and associations, creative professionals who use it to showcase their work, and businesses who have previously used conventionally printed company-branded cards.

"For small business marketing, printing and mailing 250 company-branded conventional holiday cards with a logo and special message can easily cost $500." says Sarah Miller, co-creator of the CorpNote system. "With CorpNote's e-cards for business, I can design and send my cards electronically, to an unlimited number of people, for less than twenty dollars. In addition, I can compose my cards now and schedule them to be sent on any day in the future. I like sending e-cards specifically designed for business because people usually click the "reply" button when they receive my card, which prompts further conversations. When I send a holiday card by postal mail, I rarely hear back so quickly, if at all."

Online Marketing

CorpNote is a professional way to communicate by sending online e-cards for business occasions. It combines the thoughtfulness of a greeting card with and the convenience of the Internet. One of the reasons the subscription-based service is unique is because it’s advertising-free. "We believe someone else’s advertising dilutes the sender’s message," says Michael Miller, VP and Creative Director of Set Now Solutions, the Ewing, NJ based Internet production company that created CorpNote. "CorpNote enables busy professionals to concentrate on the most common marketing and sales tasks — creating a strong company image with a memorable brand identity and message, letting the world know you exist by delivering your message via cost-effective advertising channels, and following up promptly and regularly with people that you meet."

CorpNote lets you save time by storing frequently-used messages and designs as templates, so sending e-cards can take less than 60 seconds. In addition to the benefit of seeing who views your e-cards, the system also allows members to access their account from any Internet-equipped computer. "It's great for those times that I am in between meetings and on the road. I can access my CorpNote account from any Wi-Fi Internet hot spot and send my follow-up messages right away." says one CorpNote member.

Since CorpNote was released in February 2004, the system has received numerous feature upgrades to enhance its capabilities and performance. Most notable is the addition of online invitations which lets users embed the details of an event into any e-card, and lets recipients click a button to confirm their attendance. Responses are then saved and sorted in the member's private online account, where they can display and print attendance lists in a variety of formats.

In addition to creating custom event invitations, CorpNote members are also currently using the system to send holiday cards, announcements and reminders, thank you cards, online newsletters, fund raising requests, customer service, and e-cards for everyday occasions where a sender wants to use something nicer than plain email marketing. An Individual membership to CorpNote costs $8.99 per month, and allows unlimited invitations and messaging. A Custom Company Card Membership costs $14.99 per month and has all the benefits and features of an individual membership plus up to 36 cards or photos that members can create and upload themselves.
