Emails and Greeting Cards can work together.

Emails and Greeting Cards can work together and in fact, combined they can deliver double the value.

I know I have been banging on about sending physical “thank-you cards” through the post to express your gratitude. Plus the importance of sending your customers other greeting cards, like birthday and Christmas cards in the mail. It lets them know in a very personal and meaningful way that you care about them and consider them to be very important to you.

I really believe you can’t beat SendOutCards for its personal touch. Nor for its efficiency and economy. Nevertheless, you can use Email to deliver your message as well. Combined, emails and greeting cards make an awesome method of communicating.

Maybe some of your customers have only supplied an email address. They, of course are just as deserving of your gratitude and receiving a simulated card, via Email. One of the beauties of sending a physical card is that you can also include a real gift. However, you can still add a pseudo gift to your Email greeting while you’re at it. Something like a virtual bunch of flowers, a piece of poetry, or a singing message could fulfil this.

Best of all would be to combine these two systems, Emails and Greeting Cards to deliver your good wishes. An email and a greeting card sent at the same time will be doubly effective. If there is enough value in the transaction, you could add a real or physical gift to fully express your gratitude.

Emails and Greeting Cards

With SendOutCards you can select from a vast array of gifts and gift cards. It can be included with your card and sent at the same time. If you are using Email, you can send a real gift separately through the mail.

Old Fashioned Marketing – Dan the lady’s man.

Dan the lady’s man – a modern day lesson in Old Fashioned marketing

Televisions daily dose of morning drivel can from time to time reveal a true old fashioned marketing gem. Dan, a real person lives in New York (immediately the thought comes into my head “it could only happen in America”) and after the breakup of his last serious relationship he had spent two and a half years in the wilderness, so to speak.

During this time he wasn’t idle, he worked social media quite hard, especially Facebook and Instagram, to connect and hook up with women in his search for Miss Right. During his two and a half years he managed to make a handful of successful dates, but nothing that looked like developing into a relationship.

Old Fashioned Marketing

He had been told that posting on social media was the way to go. Apparently, this was the modern and best way to connect with people. Over this time he had also been noticing those old fashioned finger strip notices trying to sell something with a photo and cut strips with a contact phone number pasted on poles around town. Recognising that many had several to all of their fingers missing, he made a connection and got an idea.

With nothing to lose, he thought he would give this old fashioned marketing method a try. (more…)

St Patrick’s Day – A Golden Relationship Marketing Opportunity!

St Patrick’s Day – A Golden Relationship Marketing Opportunity!

“So it’s St Patrick’s Day soon ” I responded. “So what” I added.

“Well Mr. Expert, it’s another golden opportunity to contact your key customers and other important associates in another unexpected way.” I was told in a matter of fact fashion.

OK, she was right, of course. Most people would not be expecting a card in the mail on St Patrick’s day. Actually, very few of them will be getting one. (That is unless you do something about it). What a golden opportunity this is to connect in a personal and meaningful way.

St Patrick's Day

Your act should generate warm and fuzzy feelings in them. Plus another customer now feels a stronger tie and a little better about you. After all, isn’t that what we want to engender in our customers.

The real beauty of an unexpected card is just that. It’s unexpected! We all love being recognized and remembered and that’s why personal greeting cards work so well. Sure we appreciate them, but we have sort of come to expect them. A St Patrick’s Day card, on the other hand, really takes us by surprise and delivers lots of delight. (more…)
