The "Send an eCard" button in the Plaxo Outlook Toolbar is one of the places we let you know what holidays are coming up. Our latest button design pays tribute to the great American family holiday, Thanksgiving. Clicking on any one of the seasonal eCard buttons will take you directly to our Plaxo eCard category for that holiday. Be sure to check out our new Thanksgiving eCard designs!

You'll need our latest client and to have the preference enabled in order to see the button (it's on by default):

1. Go to Plaxo->Preferences
2. Click on the Advanced Tab
3. Make sure the 'Display "Send an eCard" Button' checkbox is checked
4. Click OK.

(You can use the same preference to disable the button if you don't want to see it).

If you have the latest client release, have the preference enabled, and you're not seeing the button, then try restarting Outlook.

In case you don't spend your days staring at Outlook as much as we do, we've been quietly changing the eCard button design from week to week. You might've seen the image of a little pumpkin on the button in the days leading up to Halloween. During that period, we noticed a large but unexplained spike in our eCards signups. Then we looked at where the new users were coming from, and we realized the pumpkin was a huge hit! Thousands of members got into the "spirit" of things and sent spooky eCards to their friends and family.

Thanksgiving and the winter holidays are right around the corner. Don't forget to send holiday greetings to your friends, co-workers and loved ones. Browse through the collection often; we add new card designs every month.

As always, we offer free eCards - just look for the word "FREE" on the image. If you want to pick from our premium design collection or to upload your own photo and send it as an eCard, you can sign up for our free 30-day Premium eCard trial.
