Sending a card to someone for a variety of reasons dates back to ancient times. The Chinese will send elegantly designed messages as well as the Egyptians, but on different types of paper. During the Rennaisance, greeting cards became extremely popular for specific holidays and events. Victorian times, the greeting card was used for Valentine's Day, Christmas, birthdays, and other occasions.
Although the more digital age may have pushed away from the flowery words of greeting cards, a surprising 80% of adults still buy them. Although they can only make these purchases for special occasions and are more likely to give them as a gift when attending an event, they are buying. That said, retailers are continuing to reduce their presence in the greeting card aisle.
All the facts will lead to a faster-fading "Just Thinking of You" type of card. Although it's nice to get sweet text, wouldn't it be less of a chore to go to the mailbox if every day you received a notecard from a friend?
