Communicards for free online greetings cards and videos

About us

We bring together small business and customers by offering our shop window for goods and for small business to display their products.

On our free card app we have many original designs available for a wide range of occasions created by our amazing array of talented independent creators, artists, illustrators and photographers.

The environment

The average household in the U.K. currently produces 8.1 tons of Carbon dioxide per year with a government target of 4.5 tonnes by 2030. Currently 811 million single use cards are used in the UK with a Carbon Dioxide value of 140g each. According to a study conducted by Exeter University sending one card produces about 140 grams (0.3086472 pounds) of carbon dioxide therefore the greetings cards business in the UK currently creates 14000 homes worth of Carbon Dioxide output completely unnecessarily every year. To put that into perspective that would be nearly as much Carbon Dioxide production as the entire county of Rutland on an average household per person use basis. That really is quite a lot and we are here to help reduce that.

Personal savings

On average each UK person spends £104 per year on greetings cards, postage and associated products. We believe that is money that could be spent better elsewhere for ourselves. By using the Communicards free card app you can save this on average amount but also you guarantee delivery especially oversees.

Also, no trees are harmed when using our card service for the cards or for single use envelopes. If you think about it it doesn't make sense to send physical cards anymore, no sense at all.

Business support

At Communicards we support small businesses by giving free access to advertise on our free platform. As a business owner all you need do is download the app and create your business page listing. The Communicards members will see the listing and be guided to your own website or shop or use your contact details as provided. You can place a main picture and nine more adding up to ten pictures and people can see your products. This will be especially effective for seasonal and promotional products but also if you have a service you can also advertise that, we do not limit who we support where possible. There are a few limitation of course, no adult stuff, illegal anything, animal trading or financial trading as well as politically motivated or religiously motivated businesses but the majority of other legitimate business can be supported free of charge. Communicards supports equal rights for all and will only refuse on the grounds of legitimacy of the business and the nature of the business being within our own set of community standards. All businesses that apply to use our platform agree to have their free ad(s) vetted, amended or refused.

Invitation service

We currently have a number of categories with invitations on them for you to send however we are now creating a whole new app section dedicated to this. Watch this space and please remember how much in cost savings, energy savings and green savings will be made when you start sending out e-invitations rather than paper ones.
