Conventional direct marketing wisdom says that it costs seven times as much to find and convert a prospect to a customer than it costs to retain a customer you already have. ekarda is an eCard service designed specifically for businesses.  

By taking a few minutes set-up an ekarda account, you and your staff can build rapport and strengthen business relationships by automatically sending the right greeting to the right person at the right time.

With Auth0 you can use SAML to enable Single-Sign On (SSO) and allow your users to log in once and use the same credentials to access Ekarda.
