Greetings For better Communication
Why do we greet each other?
Greetings are probably as old as the civilization. People always
greet each other whenever they meet or talk. A good morning,
hello, how are you, how are things at your end, etc are some of
the common ways to begin the conversation. A greeting is
everyday life connects us better with another person. One cannot
immediately come to the subject matter without a greeting in
almost all meetings?
Printed Cards As science progressed, people began using printed
greeting cards. They are still widely in use. Do you know that
some of the first greeting cards were created to convey 'Merry
Christmas'. In today's world, printed card maintains its
supremacy, but ecards or egreetings are slowly capturing a
bigger space. Convenience of use, ease of selection and less
hassle in sending ecards, makes them very popular amongst the
younger generation.
How to select ecards?
What are the attributes, one should look for in an ecard before
sending? Let us begin with Birthdays. This is the day, when we
receive quite many cards and compare who sent which design? So
selecting an ecard is important to make a better connection. One
cannot simply click on any site, select a ecard at random and
send it across. What should one look for during the selection?
The first consideration is our relationship with the recipient
and the second is the personality of the recipient. If one for
whom we are choosing the card is a serious or sober kind of
person, a hilarious card will not make him/her happy. That is
sure. If we are not close to the person we are
sending the card,
our choice should be a subdued design, isn't it?
Always read carefully what the egreeting conveys, what is the
message, etc. Think about the person to whom you are sending the
ecard. Will he/she feel happy or great reading the message? If
you are very close to the recipient, does the message in the
greeting convey your closeness or what you feel from the heart.
Take these aspects in mind while choosing. Let me discuss more
with examples of ecards from www.ecarduniverse.com
Look at these two ecards below. Compare them. They convey a very
different impact, isn't it?

Choosing greeting cards is an art, and one who perfects this
art, enjoys better relationships. So enjoy the world of virtual
greetings and send the right ecard to the right person.
