Amazon.com Teams With HDgreetings to Personalize Gift Cards
Tough Economic Times Make Personalized Gift Cards a Pragmatic and Welcome Gift
BURLINGAME, CA--(Marketwire - November 20, 2008) - HDgreetings, the maker of high-quality
personalized e-cards, announced today that the company is teaming with
Amazon.com to offer a new and unique digital gift this holiday season: an
Amazon.com Gift Card and high-quality personalized e-card. With the
purchase of an Amazon.com Gift Card from www.hdgreetings.com/amazon,
customers can personalize and send a free e-card with photos, text and
music added to high-end 3D animation, making themselves or loved ones the
star of the show! Recipients can view the e-cards on an iPhone or computer.
"While an Amazon.com Gift Card offers customers the Earth's Biggest
Selection, an HDgreetings e-card provides the personal touch to make it
even more special," says Michal Geller, director of Gift Cards at
Amazon.com. "We are excited that HDgreetings e-cards can now be paired with
Amazon.com Gift Cards; the combination offers customers a personalized gift
that is fun to make and easy to give."
"This holiday season people don't want to waste money giving gifts that
loved ones don't want or need. This year, a practical gift is a thoughtful
gift," says HDgreetings CEO and co-founder Jennifer Sharp. "We help make
this online purchase personal by allowing customers to send their gift card
with a uniquely customized e-card!"
HDgreetings has also become a reseller of Amazon.com Gift Cards and gives
users at www.hdgreetings.com the option to pay using Amazon.com's Payment
Services. At www.hdgreetings.com, users can now easily send Amazon Gift
Cards with any of the company's high quality e-cards, and then check out
using their trusted Amazon.com account. The company has launched both
services just in time for this year's holiday gift-giving.
HDgreetings believes an increasing number of people will send e-cards as
their holiday cards this year. CEO Jennifer Sharp says, "We see our
personalized e-cards as an exciting alternative to paper greeting cards.
Tough economic times have made a personalized e-card a great choice for the
annual family photo card or holiday business greeting card."
