Setting Online Reminders: Never Miss A Birthday Again

There's a lot a mother has to accomplish in a day. Between doctor appointments, after school activities, house chores, and tending to all of the other emotional and physical needs of her family, sometimes good ole' Mom is just overwhelmed. With this in mind, it is easy to understand how a busy mother can occasionally miss a birthday or not hit the post office in time to ensure her card doesn't join the ranks of the "belated" wishes. Fortunately, there are now services available that help moms take control of their calendar full of birthdays by allowing them to schedule reminders ahead of time and even deliver digital cards that make it to their recipients' mail boxes immediately.

Convenient and Inexpensive 

Perhaps the most glaring benefit of taking advantage of a card service is the convenience. There's no need to plan a special trip to the store; you can spend all the time you need browsing for that perfect card no matter where you are or what time it is. Furthermore, postage is free so there's no guilt in playing social butterfly and sending warm wishes to every single person you know. 

Huge Potential for Personalization 

The worst misconception about digital cards is that they lack personalization. With the ability to add photos and videos, and the option to change font styles, digital birthday cards can be specifically tailored to each and every individual on your list. Furthermore, instead of being limited to the birthday quotes that are already on the cards you can choose your own for even more personalization.

Somewhere in our house, we all have a drawer full of old cards that we have accumulated throughout the years. Most of these cards will eventually end up in the garbage. Help your loved ones clean out their junk drawer by sticking with a card they won't feel compelled to horde for years only to throw out in a fit of spring cleaning.

The Ultimate Rolodex 

It can be nearly impossible to locate some addresses when it's time to get a birthday card in the mail. Email addresses, however, are easy to come by and that's all you need to send out a digital greeting card. With this ease of address gathering you could even wish your favorite celebrities a happy birthday! 

No More Forgetting 

No more running to the post office at the last minute or remembering a week after an event has passed that you should have sent a card out. Card services allow you to set up reminders so you never miss an occasion again. 

The marriage of technology and the greeting card industry is a beautiful thing. To reap the benefits of this union, take advantage of a greeting card service. Treat.com is a great place to start setting reminders of upcoming big days and browsing various selections of cards. Once you enter your information, you'll be alerted by email when you have a birthday coming up and then prompted to create a card at your next available convenience. The card will be delivered directly to its recipient via your preference of traditional mail or digital delivery. Busy moms have enough to do. It makes sense for them to take advantage of the many benefits a birthday card service has to offer.

I'm OC when it comes to schedules esp. birthdays so I make sure I put all those important dates in my planner, my phone's calendar, and an online calendar

I do set birthday reminders on my phone but still I couldn't send birthday cards on time because of my hectic sched. sending digital birthday card isn't also a good option for me because my parents don't have internet connection yet:( The only way I could greet them is by Skype.
