123Greetings Launches Studio To Revolutionize The World Of Expressions

Online, November 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Mumbai - The world's leading electronic greetings website, www.123greetings.com has launched a creative platform, titled Studio (http://studio.123greetings.com) to promote and market self expressions.

Studio is a concept that integrates creativity and expressions on a readymade platform that reaches out to 91 million visitors across 192 countries. It facilitates users to express their art by creating electronic greeting cards from photographs, videos, paintings, music, poetry or any other articulation and posting them on the 123Greetings platform.

The e-card, upon review and approval, is prominently displayed alongside the website's own e-cards. Visitors to the website can send these e-cards to friends and family. They can also rate and comment on them. It is simple and easy, and takes less than 5 minutes to get up and running.

Artists get a uniquely designed profile page enabling them to market themselves to the millions of users worldwide. They can also collaborate and mash up with other developers through the forums.

Studio has a system that tracks the number of people who view a card and how many are using them, with the statistics made available to the artist. Depending upon the popularity of the e-cards, the artists get featured on the prestigious leader board. Visitors can also opt to follow their favorite artists to get notified about new postings.

In launching Studio, the website has gone one step ahead in online collaboration and networking. Arvind Kajaria, co-founder of 123greetings.com, explains the concept: "Whether a professional artist or an amateur hobbyist, there is an inherent artist in all of us. Since art seeks expression and appreciation, we often seek out platforms for exhibiting our works. Existing platforms like social networking sites, blogs and offline exhibitions either have a limited audience or incur a huge cost. With Studio, we are providing anyone with artistic ability a readymade audience. If a member posts something that has wide appeal, his creation will get an immediate recognition."

"The highlight of Studio is that the creator will own the copyright. Based on the popularity of the artwork, prospective buyers may buy the artwork and enable the artist to make money as well," he elaborates.

123Greetings Studio works as a platform for artists, designers, writers, musicians and also the untapped, unsung artist that exists in every human. A member can share his or her artwork with users from around the world in the form of e-cards. Members can market their e-cards through blogs, use them as virtual calling cards, or show them as a part of their portfolio to potential clients or employers. Studio promises to be an ideal and fruitful place to channel one's creativity.
