Gift-Included Greetings

The Punchbowl Mother's Day Card is a Quick Fix for Last-Minute Shopping

— May 14, 2012 — Special
The Punchbowl Mother's Day card is a one-stop shopping idea for those last minute gifters yet to come up with something to celebrate the woman who gave them life.

These e-cards allow the user to personalize a sentiment to their momma and include a gift from Amazon in the monetary denomination of their choice. Punchbowl has recently teamed up with the online book and digital media giant to provide mothers with anywhere between $25 to $500 dollars worth of swag.

When the lucky recipient opens up the e-greeting, both the gift card and the personalized message are displayed together to simulate the experience of opening it up offline. An added touch sees the Amazon gift displayed to the recipient in a matching color and pattern as the greeting itself to put a little pizzazz into this convenient way to show mom she's well-loved.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Gift Cards - Creating personalized gift cards that can be sent electronically, allowing users to easily customize their message and include a gift.
2. Collaboration Between E-card Platforms and Retailers - Forming partnerships between e-card platforms and retailers to offer gift inclusion options, providing a simplified last-minute shopping experience.
3. Enhanced E-greeting Experience - Enhancing the experience of opening e-greetings by visually presenting the gift and personalized message together, simulating the offline opening experience.
Industry Implications
1. E-card Platforms - E-card platforms can capitalize on the trend by partnering with retailers to offer gift integration, creating a seamless shopping experience for users.
2. Online Retailers - Online retailers like Amazon can benefit from collaborations with e-card platforms, offering their products as convenient gift options for users.
3. Digital Greetings Industry - The digital greetings industry can innovate by enhancing the opening experience of e-greetings, incorporating visuals that simulate the excitement of opening physical cards.
