It’s National “Send a card to a friend” day!

It was all the rage in 15th century  Europe:  sending a card.

A Birthday is #1, Mother’s day is #2 in the purchase pecking order.

The internet digital options and social media has driven the act of mailing down; and it continues to shrink about 5% a year.  Stats were hard to nail down, but it appears the average person sends about a dozen a year.

But today, let’s really make it personal:  stop texting, pull out that sharpie and send a card.  Thank someone for their business, tell a friend you are thinking of them.  Spread some love.  If we do, I’d wager a lot more people will be smiling next week.
