[Snail mail](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-postcard) is a pleasant surprise for everyone, especially since fewer and fewer people are doing it with the convenience of email and social media sites. Fit for Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas or even a [simple I-Miss-You occasion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodwishes), the video message greeting cards allow users to record approximately ten minutes of heartfelt mushy footage on a 128MB memory disc that can be played on the embedded 2.4-inch screen. Weighing at 95 grams, there won't be too much extra postal charge either. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 16% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Video Message Greeting Cards:** Opportunity to disrupt traditional greeting cards by incorporating personalized video messages. - **Snail Mail:** Revival of snail mail as a unique and sentimental form of communication. - **Embedded Screens:** Incorporating small embedded screens into various products for personalized video playback. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Greeting Card Industry:** Potential disruption in the traditional greeting card industry through the adoption of video message technology. - **Digital Communication Industry:** Opportunity to introduce a new twist to digital communication by blending the sentimentality of snail mail with personalized video messages. - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Potential market for small embedded screens to be incorporated into various consumer electronic products for enhanced user experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Mail Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/better-letter-card-co.md) - [Personalized Holiday Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pics-wishes.md) - [Convenient Online Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-tree-cards.md) - [Heartwarming Video Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-book.md) - [Phygital Greeting Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gift-card-greetings.md) - [Personalised Plush Gifts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squeezeaway.md) - [Personalized Heartfelt Digital Greetings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merrygram.md) - [Greeting Card Kiosks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greeting-card-kiosk.md) - [Festive Digital Musician Greetings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatacard-greetings.md)
