Why an E-Card?
1. The Interactive Brochure. Our experience with the United States Army and the Air National Guard provide dramatic examples of the target audience reaction to a multimedia presentation. Army recruiters nationwide reported that this was the most effective handout they had had in over 20 years. No other media allows you to so dramatically get your message across. And, it’s updateable.
2. Attention Getter. As a recent magazine article put it today you need “something that will draw raves and make a lasting impression.” Something that let’s you “get your whole spiel across in a few minutes”, without “reams of papers or brochures.” We have found e-cards to be an extremely effective tool for getting our message and the message of our clients across to their clients and customers. We have heard “Oohs” and “Ahhs” when used at symposia and comments like “the ultimate tickler” from other prospects. Bottom line – they get peoples attention.
3. Engaging. Electronic gaming is considered a hot consumer trend and advergames generate brand awareness, while capturing the viewer’s attention. “You can engage people in your brand for 15-20 minutes…and there’s greater retention when it’s interactive.” Plus, if the game or screensaver is treated as a reward for looking at your marketing materials there is a greater likelihood that the viewer will see your message. The Washington Post says “everyone is a target for advergames”.
4. Flexible Media. E-Card content can be modified to provide a 3-4 minute Flash or Shockwave promotional for Internet viewing or modified to provide a 20 second to 3 minute video on VHS, SVHS, Mini-DV, or DVD for client use (priced options). Creates attention getting websites, kiosks, and tradeshow displays.
