The online greeting card industry is designing more heavily animated cards to take advantage of broadband, thanks to a healthy online advertising market and a willingness by consumers to pay for the cards.

Companies like Hallmark distributes all of its e-cards free, in exchange for showing short in-house ads to senders and recipients.

American Greetings earlier this month announced its ecard unit had reached 2.5 million subscribers. It further mentions that its subscribers pay $14 annually to send an unlimited number of cards. The company also earns money from ads on the site and on the ecards.
