A Great Business Tool “Send Out Cards offers one of the more innovative and personalized systems I've seen for prospecting, follow-up with existing and past clients, and for adding that personal touch with the people who are most important to us.” Ninety percent of business owners are missing the biggest opportunities available to them. The easiest and least expensive customers are referrals and repeat business. It’s the friends, family and associates of their current customers that enable them to have business come back to them PRESOLD! These are the easiest and least expensive customers to attract, but most people don't stop to think about this. So they spend most of their time and resources cold-calling to attract new customers. "The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated." -William James

If you have employees or you manage others, one of the most effective ways to encourage excellence and hold on to your best employees is to share appreciation when someone does a good job. (Studies show that not feeling appreciated is one of the top reasons given by valued employees who quit their jobs.) If you are a business owner or an independent sales or service professional, you already know that people do business with people they know, like and trust. They also do and refer business to people who are in their thoughts. What if you sent one card every other month to your top 60 customers (a birthday card, thank you cards, a thinking of you card, holiday cards, etc). How many more customers might that generate for you per year? Do the math! "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." -Helen Keller

Send Out Cards Offers a simple and professional way for businesses to follow up with their customers, vendors and associates. A customer who feels appreciated will continue to do business with you. They will also refer others to you. You can customize your business cards with your own logo, photos, or designs. With Picture Plus you can even put your own photos on the front of your cards. For a nominal fee, Send Out Cards will create and set up your own custom card. With this, a business can choose between their own custom cards, or have the flexibility of using any of the cards already available in the SendOutCards main card catalog.

You can now even include a gift card or gift check with your greeting cards -- a great way to express special appreciation for a referral, a good deed, or a job well done. "We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give." -Winston Churchill

You can create campaigns that will automatically send out Thank You Cards, Birthday Cards, Holiday Cards, Promotional Postcards, and more. I’ll show you how to set up a campaign for your business in just minutes. You can even personalize each piece within a day of its scheduled time to go out. How does this work? Here’s an example… Let’s say you sell insurance. You decide that when someone buys a policy from you, you will send a pre-scheduled campaign of cards to your new customer. You will first send a Thank You Card, then a Birthday Card will be scheduled, A Holiday card will be scheduled and an Anniversary of Policy postcard will be scheduled that promotes new products that you offer. Once you've set it up, the system will automatically do this for you.

FOR THE REALTOR:
 Carry a digital Camera. Take a picture of your client in front of their new home and ask for the names and addresses of 3 of their best friends. Tell them you will send their friends a photo of them in front of their new home. Send an introduction greeting card with the picture in it. "Hi my name is _____, and I just sold your friends this new home." It will be displayed on their counter top or in a photo album. People don't throw away photos with their friends in them. INGENIOUS! Open House idea: Create a card that includes the picture and an invitation to the Open House, and send that to your prospects and other agents. You'll save time (SOC will send them for you) and money AND you'll be sending something that is different from the typical flyer everyone else sends out.
 FOR THE POLITICIAN:
Create a Custom Card campaign to thank campaign donors and volunteers for their support. The card is personalized with a hand-written note from the politician (using his or her customized font that is on file). The TOTAL cost for producing and mailing this card is 99 cents. All of the stuffing, licking and stamping is done by SendOutCards, making it much easier and less expensive than going to the expense of printing thank you letters and taking volunteer or staff time to prepare the mailings.
FOR THE JOB SEEKER:
Make a Custom Card with your photo and name on the front and put your resume in the card on the right hand side. After an interview, send your potential employer a thank you card in your handwriting. When they receive your "Resume Card" with your picture on the front, you will immediately go to the top of the pick list!
FOR THE CREATIVE ENTREPRENEUR:
Buy "Picture It, Premium 10". This software program loads in seconds, and you don't even need training to use it. Add funny cartoon bubbles and captions to digital pictures that you take and send them in cards. You will get people's attention and make them laugh. They will remember you and many will call and want to know how you did it!
 FOR THE CAR SALESPERSON:
Take a photo of the potential customer in front of the $80,000 car that they didn't buy (but were seriously looking at). Send them a card with a photo of them in it, along with a note saying that you have their car waiting, or if they come in by a certain time, you will give them a special add-on or discount, etc. They will be reminded of their dream car every time they look at the card.

FOR THE SERIOUS NETWORK MARKETER:
 Take pictures of you and your new distributors and send them a "Welcome to the Team Card" with a picture of both of you in it. Great for recognizing and acknowledging promotions!
FOR THE EMPLOYER:
If you really want great productivity from your employees, consider sending them a card acknowledging outstanding performance in the workplace. You can send it to their spouse or to their home right from your desk at work, as you are observing it. You will be the most popular boss in the company.
FOR THE PERSON WHO APPRECIATES SERVICE PROFESSIONALS:
Take a digital camera wherever you go. When you get good service (bank teller, auto mechanic, grocery clerk, IT support person at work, etc.), take an "action shot" of them at work. Then send a thank you card with a note of appreciation for the great service they have provided for you, including an uploaded photo of them doing what they do so well.
FOR A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION FUND-RAISER:
Offer an easy way for non-profits to raise money -- a way that people will really appreciate and benefit from. This is a much healthier alternative than selling candy or something else that many people feel obligated to buy but will never use.
