Congratulations on Odnoklassniki: pros and cons

For more than ten years, postcards have existed in Odnoklassniki. At the very beginning, only paid images were available. Over time, the company's management decided that they needed to attract as many people as possible to exchange stickers and created free stickers. They fell in love with the audience appearance, accessibility, the ability to send to friends in a few clicks and express all your emotions and feelings. And having tried the “taste” of the new function, people began to purchase paid gifts.

Every day thousands of postcards are sent to their recipients. During the holidays, the number of shipments increases significantly and exceeds millions. But no matter how wonderful the gifts are, there are cases when they should be left aside and resort to the good old way: congratulations in person. When it comes to dear people: sister, brother, mother, father, grandmother. To dismiss it as a simple soulless picture would be wrong and even insulting.

Odnoklassniki users are wondering whether it is possible to somehow identify the mysterious donor. The site administration excludes this possibility. His name is securely hidden, all that remains is conjecture. However, it happens that a secret gift is sent with bad intentions. The recipient is offended or insulted. You must report such a problem to the site support service. There are no secrets for its specialists. And insults are a violation of the rules of the social network.

The cooler the picture, the longer it will decorate your friend’s profile, whether it is static or moving - the price of the product in OK depends on this. For example, a free gift will remain on the recipient’s page for only 2 days. A regular gift that will last 7 days costs 35 OK, a large one - up to 50. For animation they offer to pay 60 OK. A separate tariff applies for musical accompaniment - another 10 OK to the main cost. If you are ready to pay, read how to send a musical postcard on Odnoklassniki. The procedure is simple:
