Sunday, May 17th, 2015


Toronto, Canada (PRWEB) May 12, 2015

Progressive Media Group Inc., a leading provider of business and corporate holiday e-cards, has used the post-holiday period to redesign its website, develop a new slideshow e-card product and offer a new service to address one of the painful tasks for any company: cleaning up its e-mailing list.

The company, based in Toronto, serves corporate clients throughout the U.S. and Canada, designing e-greetings as a modern, environmentally friendly way for them to send holiday and New Year greetings to their customers, clients and partners.

Were excited to launch the new site, cards and service and to offer additional options to our customers, notes Derek De Giovanni, Founder of Progressive Media Group Inc. We continue to evolve our products and services, ensuring were keeping up with the latest technologies and making it as easy as possible for companies to send anywhere from 100 to thousands of e-cards for the holidays.

De Giovanni notes that the new webiste is easier to navigate and includes all information on each type of business e-card available, including pricing, for easier comparisons among products. There is also a new FAQ section allowing customers and potential customers to get answers to questions even faster.

Among the customer favorites available on the site, the companys newest offering, a slideshow e-card, is one of the most versatile products offered to date.

The slideshow e-cards can be used for many purposes, including greetings, announcements, demonstration videos, product presentations, lighter training videos, real estate property videos, lobby screen videos the list goes on, explains De Giovanni. As with all of our products, there are many samples available on our new website, which showcase our ability to create highly customized e-cards, personalized with our clients logos, corporate colors, photos and images to create a uniquely individual end-product that reflects each companys brand and message.

Another development many customers will find extremely useful is the e-mail list cleaning service, offered at a very reasonable price. The service will help companies ensure their seasonal greetings, marketing emails and important announcements dont get lost in intended recipients spam mailboxes.

This service is a natural extension of our corporate holiday e-card business, explains De Giovanni. We recognize that an up-to-date e-mail list is one of the essential ingredients for a successful e-card program, and this service will take that pain point away from our clients. Scrubbing the recipient list will also improve other email marketing efforts for our clients throughout the year, by ensuring reduced bounce rates and spam complaints, while improving conversion rates and increasing profits, as marketing emails reach companies intended recipients.

While a good portion of the United States and Canada are finally beginning to enjoy spring weather, De Giovanni believes its never too early to think about holiday greetings.

Even if youre not ready to place an order, we encourage everyone to visit our new site and become familiar with the products. If youre looking to differentiate your company, think about sending an e-card or announcement at another time of year, as well, to keep your name at the forefront of your customers and clients minds. Business e-cards are a simple, effective, and eco-friendly way to remind everyone of your products and services, regardless of the time of year.
