CHICAGO (Reuters) – Paying people a compliment appears to activate the same reward center in the brain as paying them cash, Japanese researchers said on Wednesday. They said the study offers scientific (Read more by going to above url)

Many are debating whether the giving of money versus a compliment is more meaningful to people. Studies, like the one above, and recent polls seem to indicate that sincere compliments excite the reward area of the brain more than money!

I heard one person taking a poll comment that while the study may be true, it’s harder to give compliments?

It’s exciting to watch our Blog grow and see people respond to it with their comments! Sandy and I thought maybe we should explain the cards in a little more detail and how you could become involve with it.

Becoming a sender of cards is easy. In fact go to:

http://www.sandysendfreecard.com

This will give you the opportunity to try it! Sandy and I will provide you with a gift account. We will offer you assistance along the way, including phone calls from our Associate, Gloria, and emails from us! Gloria does a fabulous job of explaining how the process works.

Anyone interested in becoming a sender of cards has 3 options:
· A Retail Customer
· A Wholesale Customer
· Choose the Entrepreneur Package

Sending cards through the website is done on a point system. To explain in simpler terms, here are actual cost breakdowns:

RETAIL ACCOUNTS:

POSTING IN USA PRICES INCLUDING POSTAGE

Postcards 75 cents
Greeting cards $1.39
3 Fold cards $1.88

Cards with pictures (includes picture plus cards)

Postcards $1.24
Greeting cards $1.88
3 Fold cards $2.37

—————————

WHOLESALE ACCOUNT

PRICES TO POST IN USA INCLUDING POSTAGE

Postcards 75 cents
Greeting cards $1.03
3 Fold cards $1.24

Cards with pictures (includes picture plus cards)

Postcards $1.06
Greeting cards $1.34
3 Fold cards $1.55

——————

As a retail customer, you pay as you go. TA basic yearly account is $25. To send cards though, you’re able to fund your account as needed. This is where the points come in. Postcards are 1 point, cards are 2. There’s no need to cloud your mind with that, so we won’t!

Becoming a wholesale customer is similar to having a membership to a “Sam’s Club”. A wholesale account cost $298 and requires a monthly auto-order of $24.50 per/month Over time you definitely will see a nice savings if you choose this option! You can purchase postage whenever you may need to replenish your “expense account.”

The Entrepreneur Package is just $100 MORE than what becoming a wholesale customer would cost. This option will offer you various means of earning an income! This is something you should consider if you are looking to start your own business.

These are basically the 3 ways to become a sender of cards. I want to make this a Challenge and have some fun. Sandy and I will offer the first four individuals that sign up through the site mentioned above, and indeed send cards for free, and decide to become involved either a customer or go for the Entrepreneur Package, we will send all four a special gift.

This is our commercial, as aired:

On behalf of Sandy Morgan and Jan Snook, I am delighted to conduct this Radio Announcement.

Sandy Morgan and Jan Snook, both having cerebral palsy, are working together to build a successful partnership as Independent Distributors with a web-based greeting card company. This web-based greeting card business.

These greeting cards are sent though the U.S. postal service! People are receiving cards by mail! With all the sophisticated technology of the 21st century you listeners may still be thinking we’re talking about the E-Card, so famous to computer users. Cards generated by this service are definitely NOT E-Cards! These cards are Real, stamped and mailed cards that allows anyone to keep in contact with internet friends, family and clients as well as others who may not so computer savvy.

With the click of your mouse, you can choose a card from well over 12,000, type your message, and send it on. The company, based in Utah, does the licking, stuffing, stamping and mailing while you sit at your desktop!

Many businesses have started using this system due to its many features. A handwriting font can be made from a person’s own handwriting.

The Contact Manager can be set up with reminders of birthdays, employment anniversaries and other important dates. The system shoots a reminder to send a card 7 days before the birthday or anniversary. Never forget a special event again!

Business people love the customization feature of Sending Cards via this system. Logos can be placed on cards just by taking picture of it with a camera. Gift Cards from major stores (Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, etc), restaurants and other food goodies can be included when sending your card. It’s like one stop shopping from your home!

Campaigns, such as a Grand Opening Sale or Holiday Greetings can be set up weeks and months in advance with our Campaign Manager. Just specify the date to send and forget it!

Whether you’re a consumer, a CEO or a marketer, sending cards will enhance your business and personal relationships. Send a Card Today!

I wish to share a card I received, demonstrating the power of sending heartfelt cards.

“Sandy,

I wanted to let  you know how deeply touched I was by the card you sent  me. It was amazing to see all the cards that came to my Dad and my Grandpa and  such kind words helped us greatly through a difficult time. I just wanted you to know  that  I received was from you  and  it  meant more to me than anything in the world. I will cherish it forever, and I want to thank you for acting on your prompting because the result of that brought a smile to my face and helped me to remember to  hold onto the great memories I have of my Grandma.

Thank you for reaching out and embracing me at a time when I needed it most. I appreciate the great friend you are to me and for the  connection we share.

With Love,
Whitney”

This card will remain with me forever, to read whenever I need an uplift.  Priceless, don’t you think?
