E-cards are fast outpacing the traditional festive cards in printed form. A few years back, I was told by a player in this industry that the e-cards would be on a rise to capture the market. It is not too far away from reality now as the e-cards' dominant role is increasingly felt.In time to come, the younger generations may view the traditional greeting cards as an antique. This may sound a bit far-fetched, but the trend is heading towards that.
This year alone, almost 70% of the Lunar New Year cards that I received are in e-form. Barely a few of them still kept to the printed form.

I simply deleted those electronic greetings that require me to link to other websites. To be sincere, I still believe in the hard copy of greeting card.
You have a point here! All the best in the Lunar New Year!
This year I received only one printed card. It was from an old lady not familiar with the computer. All others thru the net or sms.
wish you had joined us last night. Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family.
bengbeng, I truly missed the meet.
