A trip to visit Santa is typically something that typically plays out better in your mind’s eye than in reality. Between mall traffic, long lines, screaming kids and coughing patrons the trip can be more stressful than sweet. What’s more, your child senses your own stress and anticipation and often will act out or decide that the big burly bearded fellow with the not so white gloves is a little more scary than jolly.
Enter MakeBeliever, a multimedia company that allows people to create personalized online video greetings with real life characters. And since it ’tis the season, the online video greeting of choice for its business launch (conveniently timed with this holiday season) is with Santa himself.
The brainchild of longtime friends and entrepreneurs Ted Taggart and David Wallace, MakeBeliever aims to fill a gap in the online greeting business, which Ted and Dave say lacks personalization and the ability to create individualized content.
So how does it work? Pick the V-greeting of your choice, type out what you’d like the greeting to say, then enter the name and email of the recipient and when you’d like the message to be delivered. You’ll also receive a copy of the greeting so you can view the finished product.
V-greetings include naughty or nice V-greetings for friends, colleagues, spouses, family and, of course, for children. What’s more? It costs about the same amount as a regular greeting card. So get clever this year. Give your child a personalized Santa message online and send a few Clever V-greetings for the ones you love.
