Katie Parret is a fellow sender of cards, giving us permission to share a success story with you.

“My husband and I own a small Daylight Donuts Shop in Oklahoma. We have utilized many methods of advertising from billboards, local cable, newspapers, to signs at the ball fields.

After a few years of growing our business, we felt that we needed to advertise in a more personal and appreciative fashion so we set up a Birthday Club for our customers with a campaign from our Send - A-Card system.

We send Birthday postcards that are good for a free donut as well as other promotions throughout the year. I set the system up to automatically send the birthday campaign every month to our customers, and the response has been phenomenal! Especially for the children. They are asked to bring in their card and are given a free donut. You should see how excited they are in front of that glass case filled with beautiful goodies.

Our success with the Birthday Club inspired us to share our method with the Corporate Marketing Dept. which happens to be 45 minutes south of us. The heads of marketing said that they regularly received calls from shop owners asking about how they can get their shops noticed and where to go for marketing help. They were so excited about the system and how successful it has been for us that we are now the Send-A-Card contact for all the Daylight Donut Shops around the world that call in asking for help with marketing.”

Isn’t it exciting how one idea of using Send-A-Card as a simple marketing tool to reward customers with a coupon in a birthday card? Not only did it increase Katie’s sales and build a lasting relationship with her donut eaters, but she now consults with all other Daylight Donut Shops!  Just think how many additional senders of cards are in Katie’s Card business today.

Thanks, Katie, for sharing your story!

Have you made someone smile today? A friend of mine is leaving soon to visit her mom for a month. Her comment to me was: “You need to send me a card everyday!” She knows our friendship will remain connected hundreds of miles away from each other.

Throughout this Blog you will see others mentioning the importance of sending a card. I will keep writing Sandra as she is with her mom! I URGE you today to think of someone that might need an unexpected greeting from you. Go ahead and send a couple free cards on us today.

“I built my original million-dollar producing real estate sales career from nothing to being a 98% referral business by keeping in touch with my clients. I firmly believe in the Sending Cards program to assist you in building your business.”

–Tom Hopkins, author of How to Master the Art of Selling

I first heard of the success of Tom Hopkins 5 years ago at my first training seminar with a Card company. Tom was mentioned as a businessman who made it a daily practice to send 10 Thank You Cards. He states that by the end of his third year in sales his business was 98% from referrals. Tom attributes his successful growth to building relationships with clients by sending cards.

I’m proud to say that Tom Hopkins is now a member of our Card Sending family!

I actually sold cars at a Honda dealership for 2 years, way before SOC (97-99).  I was one of the only salespeople who ALWAYS sent a thank you card to EVERY person I talked to EVERY day, and I can’t tell you how many people would come in saying something to the effect of , ” I went to 10 dealerships, you’re the ONLY one who sent me a card, that’s why I’m buying from you.”  There were literally cases of these cards provided by the dealership, who also paid the postage, and 98% of the guys in the dealership were too lazy to do it.

As to ideas for picture plus (a feature of our Send-A-Card), you can adapt what I do with my mortgage clients.  How much more effective will the thank you note from the salesperson be if there is a photo of the buyer next to his brand new car on the day of delivery inside of it ?  Think that might generate a referral or two?
