Send eCards from Your Own Email Domain

Strengthen trust. Improve open rates. Keep every send fully on-brand.

When you send recognition, celebrations, or company-wide announcements, branding matters more than you think. The design of the eCard is important — but the sender is what determines whether it gets opened.

With CardSnacks for Business, you can send eCards directly from your own company email domain — so they appear to come from you, not us. Instead of a third-party sender address, your employees see something familiar and trusted: cards@yourcompany.

That immediate brand recognition creates confidence. It signals legitimacy. And it dramatically reduces the chances of your message being ignored or flagged as “spammy.”

Why Send from Your Own Domain?

1. Increase Trust & Recognition

When employees and clients recognize the sender domain, they’re far more likely to open the message. Familiar branding reduces hesitation and builds confidence.

2. Improve Open Rates

Messages sent from your domain feel internal, not promotional. That means fewer “spammy” perceptions and higher engagement.

3. Keep Messaging Fully On-Brand

From the sender name to the domain, your communications remain consistent with your company identity.

And the best part?

Setup is safe, reversible, and usually takes just 5–15 minutes.

What You’ll Need & Don't Need

You Need:

To get started, you’ll simply need access to whoever manages your company’s DNS settings. This is often:

Your IT team
Your web host
A managed service provider (MSP)
Whoever manages your website or email

You Do Not Need:

Email passwords
Mail server access
To change how you receive email

If you’re unsure who manages DNS, no problem — you can forward these instructions to them.

What Will (and Won’t) Change

What Changes

eCards will be sent from your domain (Example: cards@yourcompany)
Recipients see your brand instead of ours

What Does Not Change

Your inbound email
Your existing mailboxes
Your website
Your ability to send email normally

This simply authorizes CardSnacks to send eCards on your behalf — nothing more.

How Setup Works

Step 1: Choose Your Sending Domain

Decide which domain you’d like emails to come from.
Common choices include:

yourcompany.com
mail.yourcompany.com
cards.yourcompany.com

We recommend using a subdomain (like cards.yourcompany.com) when possible, but it’s completely optional.

Step 2: Add 3 DNS Records

We’ll provide the exact records to copy and paste. You’ll add:

2 DKIM records (security verification)
1 SPF update (permission to send)

These are standard, industry-wide email authentication settings used by companies everywhere.

Step 3: Automatic Verification

Once your DNS records are added:

We automatically check them
Most domains verify within minutes
In some cases, it may take up to 24 hours

No additional steps required.

Step 4: Start Sending

Once verified:

All eCards will send from your domain
No workflow changes are required
You can disable this anytime

It’s seamless for your team — and powerful for your brand.
