Abstract

A system for communicating with a card distribution center (40) for selecting, ordering, and sending social expression cards (120) using a personal computer (5). The user can enter names (130) and addresses (135) of card recipients into the system wherein the information is maintained in a recipient database (90). The system displays digitized images of the cards (figures 8 and 9) on a display screen (10) which are retrieved from a card database (110). From the cards displayed, the user can select cards for designated recipients and enter personalized messages (1055) and a digitized signature (1070). The user may then send the order to a card distribution center (40), which processes the order, retrieves and prints the selected card images, including any user messages or user signature, and mails the cards to designated recipients or customers (figure 11). The system maintains a database of all recipients (130), addresses (135), associated occasions and dates (100), card preferences (145), relationships (111, 112) and order history (105).
