NationalGreetings.com Announces Military Outreach Campaign

NationalGreetings.com, the web's premiere greeting card store that sends cards by U.S. postal mail, is delighted to announce its "Outreach to the Troops" campaign.

SAN DIEGO, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2006 -- NationalGreetings.com, the web's premiere greeting card store that sends cards by U.S. postal mail, is delighted to announce its "Outreach to the Troops" campaign. Recognizing how important it is for military personnel to stay in touch with their family and friends, NationalGreetings.com wants those who serve to know they can send traditional greetings cards through the U.S. mail simply by using the internet and NationalGreetings.com.

Co-founders and mother and son team of NationalGreetings.com, Lori Brookes and Randy Bragdon, hatched the outreach campaign. Bragdon notes, "So often, it's not easy for a military service person to drive to a greeting card store, purchase a great greeting card, find stamps, and get the greeting card actually mailed. With NationalGreetings.com, all that person needs is internet access and a credit card." After logging in, NationalGreeting.com members can create a greeting card by uploading pictures and a signature or by selecting one from the hundreds of pre-designed cards. Typing a personal message, selecting when and to whom the card is mailed, and sending a gift card from stores such as Starbucks, Home Depot, or Macys are also popular options. Unlike numerous other online greeting card companies which deliver "e-cards" to email addresses, NationalGreetings.com sends a tangible, traditional card to recipients' U.S. mailbox.

"It truly is a unique way for our service men and women, whether stationed out at sea, anywhere in the world or within the United States, to maintain good relationships," adds Brookes. "Everyone loves getting a greeting card in the mail, especially when it comes from a loved one."

NationalGreetings.com's "Outreach to the Troops" campaign includes an extensive communications effort through media and military partners. Throughout the fall, visitors who sign up on the website will receive a free greeting card to send to anyone within the United States.
