AppVita, "Discovers web apps that just make life easier" and today they discovered Enthusem! We were very excited to see that we received 5 stars.

"On the front page of the Enthusem site is the claim “greeting cards reinvented.” That’s a tall claim, especially with so many e-card sites available on the web.

If you’re one of the over 2 million box.net users I’ve got some good news. You can now send enthusem cards right from your box.net accounts. That’s right, you can use you box image files as card designs and you can even create enthusem attachments to files you’ve stored in your box account.

For those who are box.net users and LinkedIn users you can access your box.net files from LinkedIn and send an enthusem through box without leaving LinkedIn.

If you’re not a box.net users I’d highly encourage you to go signup for a free account. It’s WAY more than online storage – it a way to put you files to work using some of the best services the Internet has to offer.

Tampa, Florida – Enthusem.com announced today that Duct Tape Marketing has added Enthusem as their online system for the Duct Tape Marketing Small Business Marketing System and Authorized Coach Network. Enthusem lets users send personalized printed greeting cards that seamlessly link to Internet content. Using a simple code, enthusem card recipients can visit a web page and access video, audio and other documents that the sender has uploaded. Enthusem takes care of the printing, mailing and online file hosting so users can send their first card in under 60-seconds.

“The combination of real printed greeting cards that link back to personalized online content really is the best of what online and offline communications has to offer. It’s a unique blend of tradition and cutting edge technology. I’ve seen other solutions that let you send a single printed greeting card but the combination of the card and the online attachment really made the difference for me. By sending a card with an attachment, our consultants can really deliver an impactful message that’s also extremely personal. Even more, enthusem provides reporting that tells exactly who is looking at our online files so as a marketing tool; our printed mailers are 100% measurable – that’s an important benefit to us.” said John Jantsch, award winning social media publisher, author and creator of the Duct Tape Marketing system.

“I was very excited to learn that John and his team decided to adopt enthusem. I’ve been a big admirer of the Duct Tape Marketing system and their decision to go with enthusem is more validation that we’re on the right track. Businesses today need marketing tools and strategies that are easy, measurable, effective and affordable. Most budgets aren’t getting bigger these days and marketing absolutely has to create a bottom line result – our enthusem service combined with a great methodology like that provided by Duct Tape Marketing does exactly that,” commented Steve Tingiris the founder and CEO of Prospect Smarter, Inc. and enthusem.com.
