With offline sales flat, greeting card companies see the Internet boom as occasion for growth
Description: Although greeting card companies aim to make people laugh, smile or at least feel better, its serious business. In 1998, the latest figures available, consumers spent $7.5 billion to buy cards the old-fashioned way in supermarkets, drugstores, stationery shops, and other traditional retailers. The race is on for the Internet market, and the major players are offline leaders Hallmark and American Greetings, with dark horse Blue Mountain Arts solidly in the running to dominate the virtual market. Forrester Research estimates that online greeting-card sales will skyrocket almost fivefold in the years ahead, from $68 million in 1999 to $320 million in 2003. Though Internet sales are still nickel-and-dime stuff to the industrys titansonline revenue, for instance, accounted for less than 1% of Hallmarks $3.8 billion in 1998 salesthe possibilities for retail synergy are written in large letters. Greeting card companies are essentially in the communication business, so the online information explosion, combined with the increasing popularity of e-mail, is a natural for driving up sales. The big question is whether print or electronic cards will attract the most consumers. Though print cards have become more sophisticated, theyre no match for the Internets wow-em graphics. E-cards offer sound, animation, and interactive, do-it-yourself technology that can excite even the most jaded online user. Powerful messages in small packages can be used by perceptive marketers to grab online consumers with short attention spans and itchy mouse fingers. Since the Internet offers more of everything, Web sites where consumers can download and send free greeting and postcards abound. Hundreds of electronic postcard sites make every conceivable image available to send via e-mail. Electronic greeting contenders also are luring customers with various sales incentives and greeting gimmicks. E-cards.com, for example, contributes a small amount to the World Wildlife Fund for every card sent. And greeting-cards.com claims to be the biggest animated musical greeting card store on the Internet, with 30% of its customers coming back for more. Putting aside these and other Internet upstarts like Barking Cards, the big three are competing as aggressively on the Web as they do offline, where business jockeying continues. In November, American Greetings bought Gibson Greetings for $162 million. The merger is expected to give American Greetings about 36% of the paper card market. Companies that are creatures of the Internet, with nary a brick laid to mortar, dominate many areas of e-commerce. Not so with the three dominant Internet card companies. All started as creators and sellers of paper cards, and each has a strong history and reputation. In a business built on finding ways to help people express their emotions, the integrity of the brand name is all-important.
