Okay this is admittedly a bit self-serving but it's worth telling you about so I'm just going to spill it after I give you this AMAZINGLY HONEST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT:
THE
SERVICE I AM ABOUT TO DESCRIBE IS ONE WHICH MY WIFE MARKETS AND THUS
ONE FROM WHICH I PERSONALLY BENEFIT IN THE FORM OF CASH MONEY, IF SHE
DOESN'T SPEND IT ALL ON SHOES FIRST.
All stereotypical female jokes aside, imagine sending
all your holiday greeting cards from your PC without ever picking up a
card. Also, picture that any one of the 10,000+ greeting cards you
send out has your handwriting AND your signature in it. Now imagine
your personal note to the recipient being as well written as an Ernest
Hemingway best seller! (Okay, okay, we can't help you with the last
part, but if you use the stock greetings in the cards, you'll be
fine...)
And while you're geeking out over that, picture your wallet/purse full of the cash you spent by not having to use expensive Hallmark cards--not to mention the gas you saved never leaving your house ($3.07/gal here for the "cheap" stuff!!). These cards run about 1/3 the cost of the store-bought ones, including printint! This is benefit of "on-demand" printing technology coupled with the economies of aggregating the printing of many people into one place.
Folks, this really is an amazing system--and I'm not just saying that because my wife is prettier than me (and so warrants maximum sucking up).
You want to know what the best part of this is? Sending someone a card without warning. Sure, it's awesome for doing that "heavy lifting" holiday card blitz. But there's something special about sending someone a card when they least expect it. A random act of admiration, if you will.
I sent one to a friend the other day. He'd been working daily for the last couple of years on a labor of love--a new business idea he's had. It's been a lot of work with good days and bad. The day he got his first purchase order from his first real company to build one of his products for them, I sent him a card. You see, I am not a big card shopper. Statistically speaking, the chances of me getting off my pasty white tail to purchase a greeting card at the local card store are about as high as my putting on heals and a pink boa on the way out the door.
"We really don't have the personal touch in our communications like we used to. ... So when a physical
card arrives with a signature on it--there's just something especially neat about that. People take notice."
The fact that I could instantly react to my friend's happy event by sending him a card without hardly stopping what I was doing, meant I could act on the thought instantly.
When he got the card, he called me and was so excited that I had thought of him, he was without words. I was actually kind of shocked at the intensity of his happiness over this act, which took me all of about 5 minutes at the time. Thinking about it, I realized, we really don't have the personal touch in our communications like we used to. It's so easy to send electronic messages these days (and believe me I'm a big fan of that capability for a whole different set of reasons). So when a physical card arrives with a signature on it--there's just something especially neat about that. People take notice.
So whether you've got a bunch of neglected friends, or your running a business with customers who could use some love (or marketing), or you just like to surprise people: this system is worth taking a look.
For a limited time, you can get a FREE guest account. Christine wants you to be able to try the service so she is gifting all my blog readers with the chance to send a few cards on her.
