CLEVELAND, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Consumers shopping the greeting card aisle for the perfect birthday greeting are looking for a fun new way to make the recipient smile and know how much they care. Sometimes this is done with a great joke, the perfect song, or a fun interactive element. Adding all of these favorite ingredients together, American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM) is introducing Good Vibrations™, an innovative new greeting card that takes traditional musical birthday greetings to a new level with a fun visual that moves and grooves to the music.
