For businesses

How can your business benefit from being involved with charities? Apart from doing a good thing and having a corporate conscience, being associated with a charity is a good way of marketing. Most businesses send Christmas cards to contacts and clients. How many corporate business Christmas cards do you receive for example and what do you think of them? These cards are an environmental nightmare - instead of the pain and inefficiency of recycling them how about not sending them in the first place? Improve your company's carbon foot print and send your clients and contacts charity e-cards. Use one of our existing designs that we can personalise for you or get your own cards designed and we could even animate them for you. All you need to do is:

• Tell us how many cards you want to send
• Tell us which charity you would like to support (if your favourite charity is not on our list please let us know)
• Pick a design (email us your own design if you would rather)
• Email us your logo
• We will issue your business with a username and password for you to access your cards and to personalise them
• We will email your clients with an individual link to follow to view their charity e-card from you.

Instead of following the crowd by sending traditional cards why not lead the field and do something different? Something environmentally and ethically sound that will stand you apart from your competitors and show you have a corporate conscience - give charity e-cards this Christmas. At £75 for 100 cards with 70% going straight to your chosen charity this is a much better return for charities than the average of less than 20% of the price paid for traditional charity Christmas cards.

Where the money goes

70% of the price of the e-cards goes straight to your charity. The remainder is used to cover bank charges and administrative costs.
