Are you prepared for this holiday season in terms of sending holiday greeting cards?
Years ago I signed up with this on line service called Send Out Cards. Are you familiar with them? You can create your own cards or use one from a library of 15,000 stock card designs. The best feature I like is that I can create one “campaign card” and then send it to dozens or hundreds of people with a click of a mouse.
Each card is then personalized with the person’s name, and the message itself can be in you handwriting – yep, they digitize your handwriting into a font which you can then use. You can have as many as 4 different signatures.
If you have a list of clients, you can create your own design by uploading an image, then send an actual greeting card, in an envelope to each recipient. SOC prints the cards on demand, stuffs the envelopes, puts a stamp on and mails them for you – you never have to leave your PC to send cards.
This also is a business opportunity, you could get a distributor package and you can then sign up other people – this can be a part-time business and a source of additional, recurring income, as you get paid royalties.
I use this to easily send cards to both family and friends, as well as clients.
You can even add gift cards (Tim Hortons, Starbucks, etc.) and real gifts such as books, cookies, candy, etc.
The cost of sending one stock postcard is $0.31! plus regular postage! Stock greeting cards are $0.62 and if you create your own custom greeting card the cost is $0.93 — that’s cheaper that Dollar Store prices!
If you’re interested, please call me, I can create an account for you over the phone. If you’d like to learn more, please visit GrowBizWithPostcards.com
If you do decide to sign up, the one-time fee is $99 – but I will help you by filling up your “postage account” with enough postage to send 50 cards! Plus, I’ll help with setting things up!

Forgot to mention that the systems allows you to set up “alerts” so that you won’t forget birthdays and anniversaries – for clients, family and friends!
Boris is correct, this is a fantastic system. I use it all the time in my business and for my family and friends.
I must say I particular LOVE sending cards to my children, to see their excitement when they receive their card, it makes them feel so special. Also for my daughter’s birthday party we created personalized invitations for each guest, the children loved it. Easy to please 9 year olds!
I used to find when I wanted to send a Thank you, or Birthday card to a client, it would take so much time, going to the card store, buying the card, then writing the card… then mailing it, I did not like to buy bulk cards as I like to personalize each card – have that particular person in mind when choosing the card, send out cards allows me to do that PLUS it saves huge amounts of time and money.
This is definitely a worthwhile product to have even if you like myself do not have the time to use this as an income stream.
Thanks for the article Boris, I also learnt something reading the article “adding real gifts” — tell me more.
Thanks for introducing “send out cards” to me.
Send out cards is a great business tool. It allows you to create your own personalised cards, which you can brand with your own logo, information, products and photographs.
Receiving a card after a networking event as a follow up, would certainly give it that extra personal touch that prospective clients are bound to remember! I always do this and get many thank you calls. We all know that making an impression is what is all about.
It is very easy to create your own campaigns by customising postcards and very cost effective, too.
I love this product! It allows you to keep in touch with your clients, gain new ones and to use you own marketing ideas without costing a fortune.
