eCards are unique, in that they can have either a personal or a business focus.
Get Personal
Unlike email, eCards are sent from one heart to another. They are based on emotion, not logic. When you send an email, you are sending a message from your brain to the recipient's brain. When you send an eCard, your message is going straight to heart.
eCards show the recipient that you care! They can be a great and thoughtful "Thank You" after a meeting, a "your doing great" message to a colleague, or a birthday or holiday greeting to a new or past client. Keep in mind that all the eCards make an emotional connection - a connection that is the key to your daily business by 1) keeping in constant touch with your clients and 2) showing them you care!
You Mean Business
We have also developed a range of eCards that touch the heart…and link to the brain. These eCards are usually linked to our business tools. For instance, our "Showing and Client Feedback" eCards link to online surveys. Our "Hot Link" eCards link to useful resource information. And no matter which eCard you choose to send, they always link to your web site or any web page of your choosing.
Here is a brief list of some of our innovative eCards, with descriptions of how they work and how you can use them to increase your business.
Feedback Cards
Did you know that you can use eMailaCard to get home showing feedback? As a listing agent, it is always helpful to know what buyers are thinking after they've toured your home. With eMailaCard, simply send a Showing Feedback survey card to the buyer's agent. They take 20 seconds to complete the survey and the results are emailed directly to you!
Auto Responder Cards
These eCards are the newest way to automate and promote your business, even when you're not there! As a member, you have exclusive use of our Auto Responder Cards. These cards are a great way to enhance your auto responder so that it stands out from the crowd.
Here's how they work:
Simply choose an Auto Responder card, personalize it with your own message and send it TO YOURSELF. (Be sure to fill in the recipient's field with your own name.) When you receive the card, COPY & PASTE the hyperlink to the card into your auto responder. The hyperlink is the long web address of the eCard.
Hint:
Your may also want to personalize the auto-responder message to emphasize the eCard. Here is an example:
"Thank you for your email. Your business is very important to me. Please click on the link below to see a personal message from me:

Hotlink Cards
These innovative eCards are the best way to provide your prospective, current or past clients with a wealth of useful resources.
How do they work?
Each card links to a web site that provides tons of Free and Extremely useful services to home buyers and sellers. For instance, we have designed cards that let buyers and sellers:
- Calculate the value of their Home
- Notify the post office of a new address
- Calculate their mortgage payments
Homeowner Tips Cards
Do you want your clients to call YOU when they are ready to buy or sell their next home? Our "Homeowner Tips" cards are a great way to provide a valuable service to your clients, and keep your name on their minds!
These cards give useful homeowner tips that your clients will really appreciate. With the price of energy increasing each day, we've created cards that will help homeowners lower their monthly energy costs.
Here's how these cards work:
Simply choose from the collection of 12 eCards - one for each month of the year - and send as you would any other card. The tips are easy to carry out and seasonal, which means you have a great reason to check in with your clients on a monthly basis! And best of all, your photo, company logo and contact information are automatically attached to each card.
Appointment Cards:
Want to set an appointment, get together for lunch, or just chat over coffee? You can now say it with a clever eCard. And remember, eCards are always received the moment they are sent!
Kudos Cards:
The next best thing to saying "Thank You" is telling a client or colleague that they are truly appreciated. Stop and smell the roses, and send a "You're Great!" eCard. Why? Because what comes around, goes around. Tell someone that you really appreciate them, and then sit back and wait for the feeling to come back around...it will!
Lender Milestones:
These eCards are perfect for both Lenders and Real Estate Professionals. Use them to celebrate the many milestones in the loan transaction process. Be different and creative - this is what will make you stand head-and-shoulders above the rest of the crowd!
2-for-1 Cards:
This is probably our most misunderstood category of innovative eCards!
The 2-for-1 eCards are unique in that they tell a two-part story and are sent in a series.
Here's how they work:
You choose the series of two eCards that you want to send. Preview the first card, then preview and personalize the second card with your message. Once the recipient picks up the first card, the second is automatically delivered. This way, you get double the marketing punch with just one card! Give them a try by sending a series to yourself - you'll soon see how much fun these cards really are!
Add a Virtual Tour to Every Card you Send!
Now you can add Virtual Tours of homes to each eCard you send. The eCards are now fully integrated with both IPIX, to capture interior shots, and Visual Tours, to fully promote your home.
Here's how this exciting feature works:
When you send a card, you will notice that we have added a new field at the bottom of the page asking for the link to the Virtual Tour of your choice. Simply type in the link, or copy and paste it into this field. NOTE: Please do not add the "http://" to this link - start with the "www."
Here's an example:
To feature the Virtual Tour with link "www.virtualtour.com/id12345532.html," just copy and paste this entire link into this field. The card recipient will then see a hotlink to this tour.
