Press Release Summary = Greeting Card Expert Shares Tips to Get The Task Done Easily

Press Release Body = SAN DIEGO - NOVEMBER 13, 2006 - Americans will send more than
1.9 million holiday greeting cards this year. And while the tradition of sending
holiday cards is one of the best ways to spread cheer and keep in touch with loved
ones, the work involved in sending so many cards can cause a lot of stress.

"Holiday greetings provide a way for us to connect with friends and family, a goal
that continues to grow in importance,\" says Heather Moore, greeting card and card
etiquette expert. \"Of course, in today's hurried lifestyles, the annual holiday card
mailing to friends and family needs to be as easy as possible."
Moore is the owner of The Card Shop Online (www.TheCardShopOnline.com), a full
service card shop that allows customers to send a printed greeting card with a
personalized message in less than 60-seconds by using Internet technology. The
company prints it, stuffs it and mails it, all for less than a greeting card at the
store. It also allows customers to use their own handwriting, share photographs, and
create database lists for bulk sending.
Moore offers some shortcuts for taming the task of card-sending, while keeping the
essence of the tradition intact.

1) Print address on labels. According to Moore, you can save a lot of writing time
by organizing your addresses and printing them onto labels via your computer. \"Some
may say that a computer-generated label isn't as personal as a hand-printed one, but
with the time and energy you save on writing out each individual address and
recipient, you could be writing great personal messages inside the cards! Or, you
could just relax and drink egg nog,\" she says.

2) Start Early and Do a Few at a Time. "If you start now and do a few each day or
several each weekend, you could get them all sent on time without stressing about
the task too much,\" says Moore. \"Writing cards in small doses makes it much easier
to include a personal note that doesn't look too scrawled or sound too trite. With
each session remaining relatively painless, you might actually look forward to
writing to old friends, keeping in touch, and wishing them well. And that's what
it's really about.\"

3) Send postcards. \"Save time from sealing hundreds of envelopes and use a postcard
instead,\" she says. \"After all, do people cherish the envelope or throw it away?\"

4) Use a service. \"Using a service can not only eliminate the stress with getting it
all done during the holidays, but also take care of the entire mailing,\" Moore
explains. \"Some even offer you to use your own handwriting online as well as
include photographs for a personalized touch.\"
