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?
