2. Greeting Card
A greeting card is an illustrated piece of card or high quality paper featuring an
expression of friendship or other sentiment. Although greeting cards are usually given
on special occasions such as birthdays, Christmas or other holidays, they are also sent
to convey thanks or express other feelings. Greeting cards, usually packaged with an
envelope, come in a variety of styles. There are both mass-produced as well as
handmade versions that are distributed by hundreds of companies large and small.
While typically inexpensive, more elaborate cards with die-cuts or glued-on
decorations may be more expensive.
Hallmark Cards and American Greetings are the two largest producers of
greeting cards in the world today (both are U.S-based companies).
In Western countries and increasingly in other societies, many people
traditionally mail seasonally themed cards to their friends and relatives in December.
Many service businesses also send cards to their customers in this season, usually
with a universally acceptable non-religious message such as "happy holidays" or
"season's greetings".
The Greeting Card Association is an international trade organization
representing the interests of greeting card and stationery manufacturers. John Beeder,
former president of the Greeting Card Association, says greeting cards are effective
tools to communicate important feelings to people you care about: "Anyone feels
great when they receive an unexpected card in the mail. For me, there’s nothing like a
greeting card to send a special message. I’m proud to be a part of an industry that not
only keeps people connected, but uses both imagery and the power of words to help
us express our emotions.”
