CowrieCards ~ African-American, Black Online Greeting Cards and Invitations

Description

CowrieCards (say Cow-ree) is an online electronic greetings service, designed especially for black people. It's innovative, attractive, easy-to-navigate, affordable ($11.95 annual subscription for unlimited eCards & enVites), and offers what you've come to expect in a premium electronic greetings site.

Their intention is for you to find a social expression that captures your sentiments and our values as a people. Most of the cards are designed to be used across several categories, and you'll also find a series of appropriate electronic invitations & announcements. They will be regularly adding new eCards and enVites for their subscribers.

Visit the Gifts section for a great selection of gifts & goodies, that will make fabulous items for friends and family or superb treats for yourself. When you have a moment, take their "intimacy assessment" to see if you are as in-touch with your feelings as you think you are. Both of these can be found on the homepage.

Additional Information

Why the Company?

The primary motivation for CowrieCards.com came from my use of ecards and traditional print greeting cards, and having a limited or non-existent selection to choose from, that really reflected my tastes as a black person. The frustration associated with wanting to express myself to friends and family, and assuming that I wasn't the only one feeling this way, led me to start this company. The idea was solidified on a recent birthday, when I had received a number of electronic greetings.

During the many years of marketing products and services to black folks, I have seen the importance of addressing blacks in a conscious manner, with dignity, respect and an understanding of who we are as people.

Aside Hallmark’s “Mahogany” and “Maya Angelou” lines, the greeting cards industry has fundamentally overlooked us. In the vast majority of greeting card displays in America, one is hard pressed to find cards that we can relate to— cards that reflect our images, feelings, culture, experiences, hopes and aspirations. This is even more apparent when using an online service for sending ecards.
