Seriously! I AM in love with Send Out Cards!
I found out about Send Out Cards by accident when I stumbled across a link that a friend had on her Facebook page one night. I copied the URL then went there to take a look. It was a company that has cool designer cards, prints what you want on them(even in your own handwriting), they can add a gift, gift card or check, put on a stamp and mail it for you! Starting at under a buck each!
Totally impressed that this friend might be using this company for her contact list... I emailed her to inquire. She emailed me back and then I called her. Late into the night we talked. I signed up immediately.
Why? I know instinctively whether something will work well for me. My highest thought tells me to GO. I always act upon it. Now that I have had more time to study Send Out Cards, I'm even more excited to be a part of something so genius!
Send Out Cards can only enhance ANY business. If you don't have a contact list, you can start building it right within their website. If you have your contacts on an Excel spreadsheet you can upload that to the system. In my case, I had no real system so I am using their system to finally be organized.
Sad that I had already sent out half of my Christmas cards that my assistant and I had struggled to write! Wish I had found this a week earlier. GRRrr!
Send Out Cards has virtually no competition. The two major greeting card companies are Hallmark and American Greetings. Neither have a system in place to mail your cards that you design. Neither can give you a residual income.
Yes...you can also make money while you use this system for your business.
Top 10 Reasons why You might consider Sending Out Cards(thanks to the Packards)
- 1. Most businesses lose 10-17% of their business every year
- 2. 62% of your clients aren't taking advantage of all of your products or services.
- 3. 91% of our customers say they would give us a referral.
. - 4. 80% haven't been encouraged to do so!
- 5. You lose 10% of your influence for every month that you don't have contact with your client
- 6. A 5% increase in customer loyalty could yield 20-80% to your bottom line
- 7. Studies show that an average prospect won't do business with you until they've seen or heard from you or your message at least 7 times.
- 8. 79% of all trade show leads aren't followed up.
- 9. 66% of your business within the next year will come from your sphere of influence.
- 10. Only 3% of the mail we receive is personal.
One of my own reasons is that people just cannot open free e-cards anymore because of computer viruses!
Gone is the day where you send these cards to everyone for free. I know I love seeing a real card in my mailbox and I would be even more impressed if it was a custom card with my picture or something personal written in it!
Send 100 cards in 5 minutes!
I can even send a gift, gift card or a check with this.
At Send Out Cards, we can design what we want, we can uses our own pictures, our own handwriting, or use their beautiful cards (15,000 to pick from), they print them, put a stamp on and mail them. You can create your own campaigns to have cards automatically sent like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

If you need help give me a call 859-979-2834 and I can walk you through it. Email me anytime if you have questions like I did.
There are three ways to get started. As a retail client, wholesale client or as a distributor where you can make a substantial residual income. The possibilities are endless because you can do this at home and in your spare time.
Even though I am having my best year ever in real estate, I am thinking toward the future where I will need more retirement income and something fun to do. (Trust me...my life is about having fun and involving others to do the same! LOL)
Send Out Cards is truly a heart-felt way to say you honestly care and act upon your promptings to touch someones life.
Best of luck to all of us in 2010!!!
Note...I was not paid by Send Out Cards to write this testimonial. I actually paid them so I could be a part of their wonderful card company. I'm happy just to send out cards and help others that want to also.
You changed your picture! I will have to look at the cards.
Merry Christmas Lizette!
Lizette, thanks for the tip to Send Out Cards. I'll have to go check them out, because we all need a great way to stay in touch with our past and present clients.
Robert - YES! I did change my pic! A couple of nights ago I was getting ready to go to a holiday party and this one was taken. I decided to use it because I usually hate my picture! You know how women are! LOL
Gary - Go check them out. I was amazed at how beautiful these cards are at Send Out Cards. I actually had no system before this. Call me if you need help making a free card there.
I wish I had read about this company before, now it's too late. Maybe next year. Thanks Lizette!
Hey Scott - Next year is only a few days away! These aren't just for Christmas...they are for every day. As REALTORS, we can make endless campaigns...just listed, sold, thank you, birthdays, anniversary, announcements,etc. Our need for these cards are endless. I'm having a blast sending just random cards that are funny. I sent one to my stock broker and I just called over there. his secretary said it was by far the very best card they have ever received. It was displayed proudly on his desk. They want the cards for themselves now.

Lizette - I love getting cards in the mail and that's why I've always sent clients handwritten cards. I'll definitely have to look into Send Out Cards. Happy Holidays!
Michelle - I think we are on the same page with the handwritten cards. These Send Out Cards are really creating some new opportunities for me.
Woooowww Lizette this is an excellent blog, you have the angel to post great information ! :P Nice to see these great posts from you, people should love it !
Lizette,
I will have to go there and check it out. Had not heard of it.
I have heard some good thing about them. Glad to see its working out for you.
Hi Lizette,
I will have to check it out. Thanks for the info. I like the new do/picture!!
Have a very Merry Christmas!
Ray - I've been having a blast working on my card project. Soon I will have all my campaigns in place and Send Out Cards has helped me to be more organized and focused on building my business. This has been such a successful year for me in so many ways. SOC is icing on my cake! LOL
Steven - You would have so much fun with Send Out Cards! I love all your photos and they would look great in some cards.
John - It seems like I read something about Send Out Cards a year or so ago but I thought I would send cards on my own. It turns out that I hardly ever send out regular cards because I get lazy, out of time, out of stamps, the moment passes and I forget, etc. Now a cool card that is mailed is just a click away.
Trace - Thanks! I felt it was time to change that pic! Let me know if you need more info or a girl chat about Send Out Cards! I'd love to work with you on this and share some of my designs for cards.
Wow Liz I love your new photo. You look younger as a brunette with highlights.
I have been getting many send out cards this holiday season and you are right, I am too afraid to open cards up that have a link to them.
I LIKE your new picture!
I've used Send Out Cards for awhile now. I need to use it more than I do.
Glad to see it's working for you, too!

Lizette,
Anyway, Happy Hollidays, Merry Xmas and happy new year :) hope that these days come much better for you and next year year will come full of health, love, peace and money :) what do you think ? :)
Cards are more personal, especially with a small gift of some sort...You're right e-cards become the computer's worst virus nightmare...Thanks for your information.
Hey gorgeous lady. Love your new photo! I have SOC and keep forgetting to use it. Everytime it is mentioned, I think of so many uses. Thanks for the reminder.
Lizette,
I jumped onto the system in early November. Got my first referral tonight. I sign onto the system just before bedtime. Doesn't even "feel" like prospecting to send a friend a birthday card. Feels like paying it forward with good karma.
I cross reference the birthday reminders for my Facebook friends with my Top Producer database. (I actually exported all my contacts to Send Out Cards from TP.)
Now any new contacts I jot birthdays and anniversaries on the back of their business cards. I used the gift section to send out client appreciations Gift Cards for nominal amounts in time for Christmas. Jealous I didn't think of the system.
I love using Send Out Cards also. Makes sending a heartfelt sentiment so easy.
I love this company - I wish I had found it sooner, but this will do. I can think of many uses for it, but the follow up aspect is just wonderful, and it is helping me show I remember people and care about them. The system itself keeps me from having to hire yet another person to help with contact management...and I ENJOY using this. Other companies left me ready to shred cards, not send them!
Love SOC a bunch.
