The Challenge: Finding a Professional Greeting in a Consumer World
For over a century, American Greetings has been a household name for personal connections between friends and family. However, what works for a birthday wish to a relative often fails to meet the branding and security standards required for a high-value corporate holiday campaign.
To help you navigate these requirements, we’ve broken down the key differences between general consumer sites and dedicated business platforms:
| Feature | American Greetings (B2C) | eCard Shack (B2B Specialist) |
|---|---|---|
| Design Effort | DIY Templates | Expert Managed Service |
| Branding | Limited Logo Placement | Full Brand-Aligned Customization |
| Video Format | Proprietary Web Player | High-Quality HD MP4 Output |
| Staffing | Self-Service Only | In-House Design Team Support |
| Ads/Spam Risk | Membership-driven Ads | Clean, Whitelisted B2B Delivery |
Which eCard Service is Right for You?
Three Reasons to Choose a Specialist Business Partner
1. Brand Integrity vs. Platform Watermarking
In a corporate environment, your greeting should be an extension of your company’s brand, not a commercial for a greeting card site. Consumer platforms often include their own logos or "send your own" advertisements at the end of an animation. eCard Shack provides a 100% brand-safe environment. We focus on your logo lockup, color matching, and message tone to ensure a polished, professional finish every time.
2. "Done-For-You" Managed Service
The biggest pitfall of consumer sites is the "DIY" burden. HR and Marketing managers are often juggling brand consistency and tight deadlines. While American Greetings relies on self-service, our premium managed service puts our in-house designers to work for you. We handle the technical integration of your branding and team photos so you can stay focused on your business.
3. Scalable Distribution and Security
Sending to a list of thousands requires different workflows than a one-off personal note. Professional platforms are more likely to offer clear data handling practices and tested delivery methods that don’t trip corporate spam filters. Whether you need a hosted link or an HD MP4 to upload natively to LinkedIn, we provide the flexibility that enterprise-scale campaigns require.
