Jacquie Lawson Quick Send Widget: Send eCards in Seconds

1. Set up your default preferences first

Before you begin sending a lot of eCards, open the widget and configure any available default settings—such as your preferred sending name, default message, and the default delivery option (email or link). Saving defaults means fewer clicks and less chance of forgetting to personalize key fields.

Why it helps: Reduces repetitive typing and prevents sending without a signature or personal touch.
Tip: Keep a short version of your signature for quick sends and a longer one saved elsewhere for more formal cards.

2. Use message templates for common occasions

Create short message templates for birthdays, thank-yous, congratulations, and sympathy notes. Store these in a note app or a clipboard manager for quick pasting into the widget.

Why it helps: Templates speed up the process and ensure your messages are appropriate for the occasion.
Tip: Slightly tweak each template to add one personal detail (a shared memory or a specific compliment) so the card still feels bespoke.

3. Preview the card before sending

Always use the preview function. Jacquie Lawson cards often include animations and timing that look different in the editor versus the recipient’s view; previewing helps ensure nothing is truncated or mistimed.

Why it helps: Prevents embarrassing formatting or animation issues and ensures the recipient will see the intended greeting.

4. Choose the right delivery option

The Quick Send Widget typically offers direct email delivery and a shareable link. Use each appropriately:

Email: Best when you have the recipient’s address and want the card to arrive directly in their inbox.
Link: Useful for posting in a private message, social media, or when you’re unsure about the recipient’s email.
Why it helps: Selecting the correct method improves deliverability and recipient experience.

5. Personalize with a short, specific line

Even when you’re in a hurry, add one sentence that names the recipient or references a recent event. It makes the eCard feel personal.

Examples: “Happy Birthday, Tom — hope the new guitar brings you joy!” or “Congrats on the promotion, Sarah — you earned it!”
Why it helps: Personal details increase emotional impact more than long paragraphs.

6. Keep recipient lists organized

If you send cards frequently, maintain a contacts list or spreadsheet with names, emails, and important dates (birthdays, anniversaries). Group contacts if your tool supports it.

Why it helps: Speeds selection of recipients and reduces the chance of typos or wrong addresses.
Tip: Include notes for card preferences (likes/dislikes, favorite styles) to choose a matching design quickly.

7. Schedule sends for best timing

If the widget or your workflow allows scheduling, plan sends for the recipient’s morning or early afternoon in their time zone. For birthdays, schedule to arrive at the start of the day.

Why it helps: Higher chance the recipient sees the card during their day rather than buried in evening email.

8. Check accessibility and mobile appearance

Many recipients read eCards on phones. Preview on mobile or choose designs that scale well to smaller screens. Also keep text clear and avoid tiny fonts or low-contrast colors.

Why it helps: Ensures animations and messages remain legible and pleasant on any device.

9. Use grouping for family or team messages

When sending to a family or a small team, pick a card that fits the group tone and add a line addressing everyone. Use the link option for group chats where one person might share the card with others.

Why it helps: Makes sending inclusive and avoids multiple one-off messages.

10. Keep track of sent cards

Maintain a simple log of what you sent and when. This helps avoid duplicate messages (e.g., two birthday cards) and serves as a reference for follow-ups.

Why it helps: Prevents awkward repetitions and helps plan future communications.

11. Learn which designs match which occasions

Jacquie Lawson’s animations carry different moods—playful, elegant, wistful. Spend a little time browsing categories so you can quickly pick a tone that matches the sentiment you want.

Why it helps: Matching visual tone to message increases authenticity and emotional resonance.

12. Use high-quality recipient details

Double-check the spelling of names and email addresses before sending. For close contacts, use the name they prefer (full name, nickname, or a title) to make the greeting comfortable and correct.

Why it helps: Small errors undermine an otherwise thoughtful gesture.

13. Be mindful of privacy and shared devices

If you use a shared computer or public device to send cards, sign out and clear any saved personal data. Avoid saving passwords or recipient lists in browser autofill on public machines.

Why it helps: Protects both your contacts’ privacy and your account security.

14. Experiment with seasonal and special-occasion collections

Jacquie Lawson releases themed collections for holidays and seasonal events. Explore these periodically—some designs are perfect for niche moments (retirement, new baby, condolences).

Why it helps: Using a timely theme shows effort and increases the relevance of your greeting.

15. Keep an emergency stash of quick designs

Save a few universally appropriate cards (thank you, thinking of you, congratulations) that work for many situations. When you need to send something fast, you’ll have choices that still feel considerate.

Why it helps: Reduces the stress of last-minute sending while maintaining quality.
