American Greetings Announces HatterChatter.com, New Web Site Dedicated to Celebrate Women Who are 50+ and Fabulous

Site Offers eCards to Match Their New Attitude: Laugh Lines are Beautiful

CLEVELAND, Aug. 17 -- AmericanGreetings.com announced today that it has launched HatterChatter.com, a new website for women 50+, designed to speak to their zest for life and love of laughter. Appealing to the more than 47 million women in this age group, the new site will celebrate these women as they look to the future, enjoying lives filled with new adventures, whether that means taking a cross country road trip with their girlfriends, finding a dream job, taking retirement, or becoming a grandmother.

This group of women understands that 50 is the new 30 and that growing old gracefully is passe: Their laugh lines are simply proof of the remarkable lives they lead.

The site (http://www.hatterchatter.com/) currently includes more than 30 original eCards, and fresh content will be added on an ongoing basis. A subscription to the service is $6.99 for the year, enabling consumers to send an unlimited number of expressions to friends and family. Examples of some of the new eCards on the site include a funny Grandparenting Quiz, Walking Buddy invitations, Over the Heel shopping advice, Memory Pill cards for belated birthday wishes, and Happy Retirement sentiments. A number of hunky men grace some of the cards as well.

"We know that the 50+ woman today is embracing life in ways that her predecessors never did," said Sally Babcock, senior vice president and general manager, AmericanGreetings.com. "The new HatterChatter site offers these women unique ways to provide their friends and family with expressions that they cannot find anywhere else. This is a place where women can share the humor of life - it`s all about having fun."

AmericanGreetings.com is creating several new sites to answer the specific needs and lifestyles of market niches they have identified, providing these targeted groups with online destinations that appeal to their particular tastes. HatterChatter.com is the first of these sites.
