Cutting Edge Card System Launches Fabulous New Card Editor

2009-01-20T22:14:00.005-05:00

Our greeting card system has always been an easy to use web-based service for sending real, printed greeting cards through the mail. It takes a minute or so to pick out a card, add your message and click send. Then, within the next day or so, the folks at our company print it, stamp it, and send it, including a gift... if you chose that option. Easy, right?

But, hard as it is to believe, this company has just released the next version of their web-based card editor and it is even slicker than the original model. It's now much more of a WSIWYG interface (what you see is what you get), where you type your message right into the card. You can upload your own photos, create your own unique signature font, and more.

Only thing is, the new card editor is so much fun to use, it might end up taking you longer than it used to, playing with all of the options. But you won't mind, trust me.

If you haven't heard about the value of sending greeting cards with this system, then check out the frequently asked questions page on my site to get started on checking out this great way to nurture the relationships in your life, whether personal or business-related. You can even try it out for free ... on me!

Staying Afloat During the US Financial Crisis

2008-11-18T12:41:00.003-05:00

There's no question... we are undergoing lean times, and many Americans are struggling financially at present. But I'm doing OK, thanks to a couple of work at home businesses, one that sends printable greeting cards to business associates and personal contacts and one that helps your build a content-based website, even if you know nothing about building websites.

The card company I use is a network marketing company, but without the pressure and hype that often goes with that type of business. Instead, it's all about building relationships, both business and personal.

The world today is often impersonal. People are busy, busy, busy... The technology that makes all our lives so much easier than it was for our grandparents also isolates us at times by removing the need for personal contact.

That can make it hard to build the kind of solid personal and business relationships that are the foundation of a happy, successful life.

But, nothing makes someone feel more appreciated than a kind word contained in a personalized greeting card. Cards work because they're unexpected and communicate your message in a way that's virtually guaranteed to be well received. When you send a card, your card sends a powerful message that you care, that you remember and you take no one for granted.

The other strategy I'm using for prospering during the financial crisis is called Site Build It (SBI for short), and it's a platform for building a business on the Web. I use it to educate people about sending cards, but there are so many other directions you can go. Check out SBI here

7 Tips for Showing Customer Appreciation

2008-04-24T20:25:00.008-04:00

Do your customers or clients know you appreciate them? Really know? Here are some tips for proving your customer appreciation:

1. Make others know they are important.
2. Show them what's in it for them in what you're doing.
3. Put yourself in your customer's shoes.
4. Show them you're human.
5. Refrain from negative advertising... always emphasize the positive.
6. Ask your customers how you're doing... and act on their feedback.
7. Defuse problems quickly.

I've found that one technique that helps to do almost all of the strategies above is to send greeting cards. It's such a caring way to let others know you're thinking of them and it is so unexpected... especially from a business. Sending cards is almost a lost art, you know?

Is SendOutCards a Scam?

2008-04-20T20:02:00.004-04:00

"Is SendOutCards a scam?" is a question I get a lot at my website and there are many, many searches on this topic each month in the major search engines. One might think where there is smoke, there is fire, right?

But here's the thing... I am a distributor for this card system, and I have to say, it's one of the best small business marketing opportunities I've found. The Send Out Cards scam just doesn't exist. It's true that many online companies are nothing more than scams, out to take your money and disappear with it.

But, in my opinion, this company is much different. You see, they offer a service that ANYone can really use... from my next door neighbor, who just wants to stay in touch with her large extended family that lives all over the US... to my real estate agent, who sends cards to all of her potential prospects... to the Web-based consultant who follows up with his clients periodically to stay in the forefront of their minds... and so on.

If you have a need to stay in touch with others or let people know you appreciate them... and who doesn't?... then Send Out Cards can help. Yes, there is a business opportunity -- if you want it-- and yes, it is a network marketing plan, but it's not a pyramid scheme and you don't have to join the business opportunity to be able to participate in this card system.

The best way to see for yourself, though if SendOutCards is a scam, is just to try it out... on me. I give free gift accounts to anyone who's interested in seeing for themselves what it's all about. Send 2 free cards to anyone you want and I'll pay for it. Not only that, but I'm available to answer questions, walk you through the process, and show you all the things that the system can do. Don't worry... I don't use hard sell techniques... I'm just your friendly, everyday small business woman, who's seen for herself how effective this type of relationship marketing can be.

Relationship Marketing - An Idea for the Ages

2008-04-14T17:31:00.003-04:00

Business concepts and buzzwords come and go. Kaizen marketing, "the customer is always right"... you've probably heard them all. Some concepts are right for their times or for a specialized target market.

Others are more enduring. One of those enduring concepts is the idea of "relationship marketing". So what is it? Well... Relationship marketing is an emphasis on building a long term rapport with customers rather than individual transactions.

There are many ways to do it. One of the ways I've found to work best, though, is by sending out hand-written, printed and personalized greeting cards to show my customers that I appreciate them, that I'm thinking of them, and that I value their business.

According to Wikipedia, relationship marketing is defined as follows:

"Relationship marketing is a form of marketing that evolved from direct response marketing in the 1960s and emerged in the 1980s, in which emphasis is placed on building longer term relationships with customers rather than on individual transactions. It involves understanding the customer's needs as they go through their life cycles. It emphasizes providing a range of products or services to existing customers as they need them."
