Sue Oram, Marketing Executive at 3T, said: "Whilst a conventional Christmas card is always received with appreciation, they do end up being thrown away or, at best, recycled a week after Christmas.
We toyed with the idea of buying charity Christmas cards, but really wanted to do something just that little bit different.
The majority of our marketing communication is via e-mail newsletters and through our website, so this was the ideal solution".
