American Greetings Offers More Ways to Reach Out This Thanksgiving

This year as friends and family gather together to celebrate Thanksgiving, they will also be reaching out to share warm wishes with the people they love, but can't be with physically. Considering that 81% of the 2.5 million Thanksgiving greeting cards exchanged each year are mailed, it's clear that even when distance separates, people still crave connecting. That's why American Greetings Corporation AM is offering even more ways to send loved ones a unique message this holiday season.

Consumers who love to find the perfect card need look no further than their local supermarket, drug store, or mass retailer. Available in thousands of retailers nationwide, where people are already shopping for their holiday needs, it's easy to peruse the American Greetings card aisle for the card that has the right message, look, and feel for an important loved one. Whether they want to send a festive message with glitter and rhinestones, a deeply touching religious verse or a fresh and inspiring watercolor design from renowned greeting card artist Kathy Davis, there's something special for everyone.


Subscribers to AmericanGreetings.com can find a vast assortment of Thanksgiving greetings that can be emailed or posted to a Facebook wall as well as the ability to print cards at home. In addition, AmericanGreetings.com also offers all consumers the ability to create their own personalized cards, giving them yet another way to find the right message to send to someone important.

Equal parts sassy and sweet, the new justWink iPhone and Android app from American Greetings offers people a fun way for consumers to send a digital greeting card. Download the free app and get access to nearly 200 digital cards including Thanksgiving designs that range from "light meat" to "dark meat" to celebrate whatever and whoever is on your thankful list.
