What’s In the Cards this Christmas?

(PRWEB) November 30, 2003

With around 7 billion cards sold annually during the festive season, Christmas card giving is always a big deal for time poor consumers and big business for retailers. Yet despite the abundance of high-tech Christmas card services available and claims that virtual Christmas cards will be the norm within ten years, most consumers remain loyal to the age-old paper and ink version for lack of a better alternative. But this year, ensuring that everyone gets an individualized Christmas card will no longer be a costly game of patience, chance or bluff thanks to Tumbler Media Productions Â? who have combined traditional styles and personal greetings with modern-day technology to deliver the ultimate audio Christmas card package.

Tumbler Media Productions, the audio, video and graphic design specialists, is the first company of its kind in Northwestern Ontario to tailor customized media technology with old world tradition for the Christmas consumer market at low prices. Their memorable Christmas card CD package includes a compilation of timeless festive songs and is presented in a Christmas card sleeve of your choice along with your personalized Christmas greetings message. At only .50 each and with no minimum order requirements, these CD greetings cards are no more expensive than the retail price of an average countertop card. With over 20 high quality Christmas card designs to choose from, Tumbler Media offers something for everyone, whatever their age, style or greetings message.

Despite claims that virtual greetings cards and internet services will soon replace the paper and ink version entirely, Luke Gladu and Henry Suarez, founders of Tumbler Media Productions believe that when it comes to Christmas, the public wants novelty gift ideas but still holds traditional customs in higher regard.

Says Luke Gladu of Tumbler Media Productions, Â?Christmas cards have always reflected current consumer trends since their birth in 1843 and Tumbler Media Productions is continuing this innovation for 2003 but without compromising on tradition. Clearly, for most people finding the time to sit down, write and deliver Christmas cards is draining on their time as well as their wallets, but the virtual greetings card is simply not a good enough alternative. Indeed, even though electronic Christmas cards have become more popular in recent years, their appeal is limited due to their impersonal approach and restricted audience. How many grandparents would appreciate or have access to a virtual Christmas card? WhatÂ?s so unique about our Christmas card CD is that it provides the perfect balance between the time-less spirit of Christmas giving and modern day technology. Indeed, it is a physical product that can be given to anyone, be it a grandparent, work colleague, staff or business client.Â?

WhatÂ?s more, this Christmas card music CD is not only a great way to avoid the Christmas shopping crowds but the last minute service provided by Tumbler Media Productions, will ensure that everyone is made to feel that they were at the top of your Christmas card wish list this year.
