Impact & Image LLC Goes Green for the Holidays
 
 
Expresses gratitude, while conserving earth’s resources
 
Mahwah, NJ – December 11, 2008 – Impact & Image LLC, specializing in driving brand demand with its rapid delivery of short-term advertising, marketing and brand promotion projects, respecting the principles of continuous incremental improvement, today unveiled its solution for another green winter holiday.
 
Impact & Image LLC is proud to announce that this year’s message of gratitude and reflection on their customers’ brand achievements is expressed in an environmentally responsible way.  Their custom animated e-card is delivered via e-mail and can be viewed via desktop, cell phone or portable media device.
 
Every spoken, print and e-mail contact with customers is marketing your brand, not least of which is your choice of holiday card.  The selection, whether conventional paper or multimedia, can speak volumes about the company, convey its investment in their customer relationship and serve as an important marketing opportunity.  Research supports that companies are more likely to continue doing business with an organization that sends a card.  
 
As businesses are assessing their green quotient, they look for ways to produce, distribute and dispose in an environmentally friendly and economical way. Companies support green initiatives for different reasons.  By opting for an e-card some derive gratification in conserving resources, minimizing waste and managing their carbon footprint. Others simply appreciate the control of a fully customizable greeting and delivery timing.  Still others just want to generate that wow factor.  
 
No post-consumer waste and little to no distribution costs make e-cards an easy green decision. Freedom from printed cards not just reduces paper use, but eliminates worries about minimum orders, running out, printing mailing labels and buying postage.  With e-cards, a company can afford to send their holiday tidings to more contacts at their customers, vendors and partners.
 
With an animated holiday e-card a company has creative independence. Thoughtfully chosen images, words, music and corporate colors in a multimedia format can powerfully communicate both their business identity and their message instantly.  
 
“When establishing, reinforcing or reinventing a brand, you want to instill a strong emotional connection. Marketing should be a display of the passion you have for your brand.  There’s no better time of year to share this spirit, reflect on the accomplishments made and look forward to an exciting new year of possibilities.  Sending an e-card to our customers lets us express our gratitude for their business in a more creative and personal way,” said Randy Donalds, CEO of Impact & Image LLC.
 
Just as humorous e-mails are the fastest correspondence to circulate a company, so too can a well-crafted e-card.  Incentives such as a seasonal discount, recipe, holiday tip, decorating idea or interesting historical fact promote forwarding the e-card to colleagues.  Of course, e-cards are not just for winter holidays.  They can create a strong call to action any time.
