What if my recipient did not receive the eCard or Photo Video Card I sent him/her?
Some companies and organizations have firewalls that block emails (and our eCards) that come from new businesses, even businesses as friendly and positive as SpiritClips.
If you're sending your eCard or Photo Video Card to a business or organization that might have such a firewall, we've created an alternative system that allows you to send a link to the card from your own email account.
You may also suggest to your recipients that they check their spam or junk mail folder to see if the eCard ended up there. Encourage your recipients to add SpiritClips.com to their address book so that future eCards will get through.
We will notify you by email when your eCard or Photo Video Card has been opened.
As SpiritClips grows, more companies will make sure that eCards and Photo Video Cards from SpiritClips are accepted by their systems. In the meantime, we appreciate your business. Thank you very much for sharing SpiritClips.
