“Short handwritten cards yield long results. In sales, never underestimate the importance of the personal gesture, and right at the top of the list of effective personal gestures sits the handwritten card. Always send memorable cards and personal notes when you are reminded of a person.”

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!

So far you have seen glimpses of what our cards look like. If you haven’t, click on the “Creative Cards” category on the right.

….. But do you actually understand 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 readers may still be thinking we’re talking about the “cutesy 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 grandparents as well as other relatives who may not so computer savvy.

You are looking at the cards from a web-based card service company, located in Utah. Yet I sent this particular greeting for my friend Claudia as I sat at my computer at home (see Creative Cards).  Awesome, huh?

You can include photos on a custom card, which I decided to do for this birthday card.  This is a popular feature by all that use the system!

With the click of your mouse, you can choose a card from well over 12,000, type your message, as I did for Claudia’s surprise party, and send it on.  The company in Utah does the rest!

What is really nice about this is that I can have birthday and anniversary reminders for each person I have in my Contact List. I am reminded to send a card 7 days before someone has a birthday or anniversary.  I love knowing that I will never forget a special event again!

Do you like to include something in the card you send? No problem!  Gift Cards from major stores (Starbucks, Wal-Mart, Old Navy, even American Express) and food goodies can be included when sending your card. It’s like one stop shopping from your home!

Many of my friends have come to me, asking “How can I do this?”  In no time they have become a customer!  And love it!!
