Today I am choosing to address a topic that many of us tend to let fall through the cracks. How important do you think it is to make someone SMILE? I think it is ULTRA important. How many of you can pinpoint the number of times that YOU did something special for someone - anyone! How about if I told you it is more simple than you might think?
We all have to keep up with family and friends birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, get wells, etc. How many of you try to keep up with your customers/clients by saying thank you to them or it was a pleasure to meet you or just send them a quick e-mail? How many times have you had to run to and from the card store - the task involves taking time out of your schedule for commuting; then we stand there while trying to decide exactly which card has the appropriate verbiage, now we need to incorporate our own personal message, address the envelope, purchase postage and finally get to the post office. Your time is valuable and many times the things we want to do or know that we should do get pushed aside or end up on the bottom rung of the ladder of important things to do.
We all have available to us a great system that allows us to not only develop great customer relations but also to maintain our personal individual relationships. Wouldn't you enjoy just sitting at your computer and creating a personal greeting card for someone that is special to you? Not just a nice Hallmark e-mail card but a genuine greeting card delivered by the US Postal Service. How about creating a customized card for the business associate you just met - maybe include his/hers logo on the card? We each have our own individual style and ideas so why not share them and allow others to see a side of us that we don't typically talk about instead of using a "card stores" choice of cards for a specific event.
Up until the time that we started using this system, known as "SendOutCards" we were guilty of not always following up with people. I had a terrible habit of missing special occasions for those that are near and dear to me simply because I neglected or forgot to get to the store to purchase a card. I then found myself resorting to e-cards. Although I was able to create my own verbiage they were still missing the personal touch by allowing someone to actually receive and hold the card in hand. You can even create your cards using your own handwriting font and 95% of the cards Eric and I send out have a personal picture, of some sort, on the front of them. You can allow your creative expression to go wild or should you choose to send a stock card you have the privilege to choose from over 1,500+ ready made cards.
Using this system has created a wonderful new opportunity for us - we meet someone and we always follow up with a personal "It was nice to meet you card". We can specify the event or situation where we met, therefore allowing the person to feel special because we remembered THEM. Another benefit is that if you want to say "Thank You" to someone in a monetary way - you can choose to have a "Gift Card" sent to your recipient in your card. You will find a selection from a variety of sources (Home Depot, Walmart/Restaurants/American Express/Bed Bath & Beyond/etc.) which are available in a number of denominations.
Customer and Individual relationships are what we as people are built on. I know I enjoy sending something to someone just because I want them to SMILE when they go to their mailbox and receive something other than a bill or junk mail.
One of the benefits to this company is that Eric and I have arranged to allow you to personally use the system by offering you the ability to send out a few free cards. Do you know someone that is having a birthday, anniversary or another special event? Have you recently met a new potential business contact that you want to follow up with in a more substantial and memorable way? How about sending yourself a card to see the quality of the product and to see first hand how the envelope looks and the overall presentation of the product.
Just visit our site - sign up for a free gift account and we will call you to help walk you through getting started. A great personal and absolutely first class product. Should you choose you can always e-mail us: Linda or Eric We will always reply to your message personally - no auto responses.
Have a wonderful day and remember that OPTIMISM IS THE LIGHT OF LIFE!
