Why are e-announcements an advantage over traditional printed announcements?


In this digital age, email has fast become the way to communicate. Our fast-paced culture prioritizes many tasks by ease and quickness. SincerelyMe simplifies this task while still maintaining the high quality you demand. We eliminate the laborious chore of sending out announcements - no more developing multiple copies of pictures, addressing envelopes, waiting at the post office, or procrastinating till the job is put aside. We give you professional artwork, popular licensed music, and personalization - all at a comparable price.





How are SincerelyMe announcements different than some of the e-card services that are available?


The difference is "Quality". Most e-card services are completely automated, and the end result is that they look like clip-art. Each SincerelyMe announcement is created and personalized by a real designer giving it an unmatched look and appeal. SincerelyMe announcements also include your personal photographs that are color corrected, sized, and cropped by a designer so that the finished artwork is as sharp and crisp as it can be. Finally, each title and piece of text must be sized and positioned on the page so that it looks its best. That's why the SincerelyMe designers take a "hands-on" approach.





How is the announcement sent to my friends?


If you have ever received a typical e-card, it is very similar. Your friends will receive an email that says it is from "your name". In the email, it will say something like "... Click here to view a special message from YourName". When they click on the link, a browser will open and display your announcement. You can either give us a list of email addresses and we will send out the email to them directly, or, you can send out the email to your friends your self after we have sent the first one to you.





Do I have to email you digital pictures or can I mail you prints?


Either is just fine. If you mail us prints, please include your name and confirmation number as well as a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like the prints returned.





What if I want more than 4 pictures in my picture loop?


Our base pricing allows for up to 4 photos, but for a small customization fee, we can add as many as you like. Customization Fees normally start at $10 but vary for each request depending on the complexity. You will need to contact us for exact pricing.





Does having more than 4 pictures in my picture loop affect the speed?


Remember that more pictures makes for a longer loading time at the start. If you have a lot of friends who connect to the internet using dialup modems, then you may want to keep the number of pictures to a minimum.





How long will it take to create the announcement?


Normally 2-3 days, but the time can vary. Contact us for the current turn around time.





What if I want an announcement that is not included in your samples?


We will be adding new samples and categories. Our selections will include Birth and Graduation announcements, various invitations, and Thank You and Christmas cards. We can, however, always customize an order. Contact us for details and pricing.






Does a Realtor's banner always appear at the bottom of the announcement?


No. Banners are a special incentive for realtors, brokers, builders, title companies, or another company to purchase an announcement for a client. If you are an individual and you are purchasing the announcement yourself, then you will not have any banner ads at the bottom of the page.
