Save Gas - Send A Card

Don't know about the rest of the country, but here the price of gas has skyrockted up to over $3 per gallon, making people think twice about making unnecessary trips to go out and sit in traffic for hours. Unfortuantely it does not look like relief is in site soon.

I for one intend to do my part, walk more, stay closer to home, and instead of visiting friends and relatives an hour or 2 away, I will send more cards, and make more phone calls.

IF we all cut back on gas useage, we can get thru this as a nation. Conserve. Use resources to communitate that do not require you to be out on the road.

Let people know you still care. With Mail Out Cards, you can send a card from home without going to the post office or having to drive to buy one. The service will stuff, stamp and mail for you and be on the way, without you leaving home. You can include photos, and also do it in your handwriting.

I say try one out today and send a card to show someone you care. Save GAS Send a Card instead of driving.

Wedding and Shower Thank You's

Know anyone getting married? Most of the time they get shower and wedding gifts, and while that is great, and this is a good time in their lives, it's also a hectic time, as they go away on their honeymoon and return to adjust to their new life.

Sending thank you notes can be quite time consuming, if they got many gifts. What if they could send them out in their own handwriting, but sort of automatically. Do you think there would be a value in that?

Well they can using a great new system of automated postal greeting cards. There is even a try before you buy philosophy. If you happen to be a bride, know a bride, or have a friend that knows one, have them go to http://mailoutcards.com and ask for a free demo for wedding thank you's.

In this case, you'll be glad you did.

Do You OWN A Business?

The business world today is quite competitive. Do you own
a business? If so, how would you like to have happy,
loyal customers that sent business your way, time after
time?

Remember, the way to keep your name in front of those
customers is to be there. What better way to be there
then send them a series of cards, motivational, thinking
of you, thank you, holiday, birthdays. You name it
you can send it and even set it up on autopilot so you
never miss keeping your name out there.

Real cards are a great way to do that. Too often, people
miss that, or they realize it, but it's not convenient,
or takes up too much time.

Cards get opened. Cards are not like junk mail So
if you want to make an impression on people, remember
their birthdays, remember their children's birthdays,
holidays and special occasions. Use cards and you will
stand out in the crowd.

Take Time To Smell The Roses

We live in such a hussle bussle world today, with everyone on the go. It was run, run, run till the price of gas went so high, now more people are trying to consolidate trips and not make as many.

Still, it's important to take time to smell the roses and show people you do care. too often, sending that special card is a hassle. You run to the store, and get one, but then don't have the mailing address. SO you put the card down and forget it, and by the time you go to look up the address many days have passed.

THEN, FINALLY, you get the address, and are so proud of yourself. After all it's only a day or so late. You go to get a stamp, and find you're out of stamps, and the post office is closed for the day, so you put the card aside. A few days later, you remember but don't have time to run to the post office, so it waits again.

When you finally get the stamp, it's too late, and you decide you'd be embarrassed to send that card so late, so it does not get sent.

Life got in the way, and you had that prompting to send that card, but you ignored it. Now you feel bad. Did that ever happen to you. I'm so thankful I found a way around this. At Greeting Card Lady, you can read about how you can save your time and money too.

My friend Barry, had never heard of blogging until I mentioned it to him tonight.
He started a new blog today called cardzaida.

Visit his site and share stories of how cards are changing his life

Did You Forget Your Mom's Birthday? Your Spouse?

Ever been out of town on a business trip and remembered, at midnight in your hotel, that your mom's got a birthday the next day, or worse yet your spouse and YOU forgot? Stores are closed, you're away for a few days in a strange hotel, got meetings all the next day and not time. NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?

Well, I found a really COOL card system, where you can log on from any place in the world, and send a real greeting card with the click of the mouse. So you hop on, write a special message and then click send, and you'll be able to sleep better knowing you can say that card's in the mail.

Cards Make A Difference

People underestimate the power of a card. Cards can make a difference between success and failure in your business. They keep your name in front of the client.

The secret to more business is referrals and referrals are made when your client thinks of you. Remembering their birthdays, and special occasions make you a star. What if you could even add THEIR photo to the card? Most likely they would save the card as it would have them in it.

There are tons of cards out there but NONE like these, where you can send them at the click of a mouse. I'm going to give away Gift accounts to the FIRST 10 that fill in the form at http://mailoutcards.com and put down the code CARDBLOG10.

HURRY and try out this service free of charge.

Does Your Business Mail Stand Out?

Have you ever thought of reaching the consumer with Greeting Cards VS Junk mail? I don't know about you but every day, I visit my mail box and stand at the trash can before going into the house.

These days I get as much junk mail as I do spam, so I pay little attention, yet when I get a real greeting card, it makes it into the house and it gets opened. What if you sent greeting cards, thanking your customers for their business? What if you included a photo of them, or their business place with in the card. Chances are they may show someone else your creative card.

Cards are different, and sending a special message makes someone's day. Try it. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Appreciate your customers

A customer that feels appreciated will continue to do business with you. They will also refer others to you.

Taking a cue from one of the world's top saleman, Joe Girard, who's secret weapon was greeting cards, I decided to send cards to my own customers and family and friends and the results have been nothing short of astounding.

The service I use offers a place where you can send a printed greeting card with your message, and do it in less that 60 seconds! You choose your card, write your message and click send. Your cards are printed, stuffed, and mailed for you. All for less than you can buy a greeting card for at the store.

It's no longer just about sending the traditional holiday card.

Charles Schwab, one of the greatest business leaders of all time said, "the way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement" -- Everyone likes to be appreciated.

I f you would like to see just exactly how a card can touch someone, take a test drive and offer a compliment to someone today.

At no obligation to you, request a free demonstration and sample card at our website http://mailoutcards.comI will set up a gift account for anyone that mentions they saw this offer in my blog.

This will allow you to send a greeting card of your choice from our entire catalog, along with a special message of appreciation from you to the recipient. At the click of a mouse you can have a beautiful postal greeting card go out to YOUR prospect in your own handwriting.

Remember, We stuff it stamp it and mail it FOR YOU, you don't even have to leave your home or business. How cool is that?

Someone Special

Greeting cards are an excellent way to show someone how much you care and make their day. I was shpping this past weekend at the Mall of America, the biggest mall in the USA. I passed a Hallmark store, and was amazed to see row after row of greeting cards. I stopped in to browse, and was totally blown away to see many of them were $5 and up.

The greeting card business is definitely a growing industry. There were tons of people in the store shopping for cards, and I watched some in line that were checking out with 5 or 6 cards, walking out the door with a little bag and spending $25 or $30.

I know I used to do that myself. The only thing wrong with that was I would get the card home, with good intentions but I never seemed to look up the address and get it out. While my intention was good, it just didnt' happen. Have you done that yourself?

Last year a friend sent me a card with a prepaid card attached where I could go online, pick from a catalog of cards, type a message and push SEND...and out the door it went for me. I was so excited, that I signed up for an account, so I could now follow thru on my intentions.

If you want to try out the service too, you can even do so FREE and send out a card to someone special to let them know you care. If you would like to send one you use the form at http://mailoutcards.com and put a note in that you heard about this in my blog and I will see that you get a FREE demo account where you can act on your promptings and send that card to that certain special someone.

What Is A Greeting Card?

Did you know that the sending of greeting cards is a tradition that dates back over 200 years? Hard to believe but quite true. Today the greeting card is a quite popular way to let people know you care abot them.

The greeting card industry itself has created holidays we never thought about in an effort to have people send out more cards. Years ago, I never heard of secretary's day, grandparents day, and all the newly invented holidays.

Today this industry grosses billions of dollars per year and millions of cards are sent out year after year. Feelings play a big part in that, as we reach out and touch someone. How about you? When was the last time you sent a greeting card to someone you cared about?
