Here a couple of tips when sending your holiday cards. 1. Be Creative. Stand out from the other cards. With cards people will want to show, share and save. Add photos, be personal, be funny. Add QR codes to custom cards with videos of the family or just you saying hi to your customers and how much you appreciate them. Wish them a wondeful holiday. Do not solicit a sale. 2. Send your cards early.

Many different people from many different backgrounds, nationalities, economic and household situations start a business in the direct sales industry for many different reasons. Some mothers and even fathers may want to stay home with the kids and make their own hours, give themselves a promotion when ever they see fit, be their own boss, earn trips and cars and so much more. Statistics show

Change these scary statistics with a simple solution... · The average company loses 52% of its customers every 5 years...Cost of replacing them can be 6-7 times more expensive. The number 1 reason for leaving us is they forget about us, the second reason is that they feel we took their business for granted. · We potentially lose up to 19% of additional business because we don’t ask for

I was watching a show on the History channel about a group of people who according to historians should not be here based on how history unfolded itself. This article is not religious in nature, yet holds a special place to people everywhere and will be used as an example in this writing. So the group of people are the Jews. Throughout history we all know (Jew and non Jew alike) how they were

Words of appreciation can sometimes come across as banal and trite.  After all, is there a more tired sentiment than a quickly scrawled “you are appreciated”?  Yet for employers and employees, businessmen and clients, family members and close friends, associates and lovers, expressing appreciation for everything a person means to you is absolutely necessary.  When you find yourself lost for words

As I watched the Oscars last night it made me think. What would I say in my acceptance speech? If you won an award who would you thank? Would you thank the people most close to you? Would you thank those who helped you get where you are today? Would you  thank G-d, the one being, you put you here in the first place with all of your gifts and talents? Now is the moment to thank and appreciate

I am the type of person who does not care for the commercialized exploitation of many holidays. I do my best to remind myself of the meaning and appreciate the history behind a holiday and why it is celebrated. Therefore, I will not make this blog post about the great gifts SendOutCards has for your loved ones. You can easily see that on our website. But what I will say is to spend the time and

First impressions mean everything. Few of us get second chances. It is important to be on the top of your game all the time. You never know who you will meet and who that person knows. There are so many times I just want to "bum" around. There are times I do not want to put on makeup or do my hair. I recall a couple of times doing that and I run into an ex boyfriend or a client at the store.

I remember growing up my mom used to tell me to write Grandma and Grandpa and my Aunts and Uncles letters thanking them for my birthday and Hanukkah gifts. Boy, I didn't like that at all. Write?! Well, as an adult I understand why and now have my children do the same. Some times it is a written note other times my oldest goes into his SendOutCards account and types up his thank you. Either way

I am so fortunate to work at home. It has been a blessing in disguise. Not only do I work my SendOutCards business from home, I am my own boss. I create my own deadlines. If my kids are sick I am home and I do not need to find a sitter, or my mom or stay home from work. My travel time is from my bedroom to my office. Oh, about 5 minutes. Working at home has helped me put my home and family first

As the New Year approaches I am sure you may be thinking of your New Year Resolutions. I don't make Resolutions anymore. I always seem to break them. I do know that I can keep a mental note of how I can be the best me. I remember a story I heard a few months ago. There are two women (can be two men if you want it to be that way). One named Julie the other named Carrie. It was the New Year and

A few Mondays ago, I was fortunate to present SendOutCards, my story, the service and the opportunity to an online Networking Group I belong to, The Selling Divas. It was fun. The preparation and the script writing. There were some technical difficulties when I went live, but everyone were great sports. I was able to re-record this webinar without the technical difficulties and I am very proud of

Tomorrow is the day we Americans Celebrate Family, Friends and Traditions. I wish you the best this Thanksgiving. It reminds me of a story. A man was walking a road that had bumps, rocky and was unstable. This walk was a reflection of where his life was going- he lost his job, his mother fell ill, and very little can be spent on gifts for the Holiday Season this year. He came upon two roads.

I had a talk with one of my SendOutCards customers. She is a friend so I asked permission to be blunt. I attended a show she was doing for a friend of mine and never got a phone call or card to say thank you for my purchase. So I asked her "What was up with that?" She reminded me that with working 9-5 and parties at night and the family she hasn't had time, yet she understands the importance of

ANMSRBSJGXDE I was talking to a woman today in the direct sales industry for 33 years. Her name is Gina with The Selling Divas. It was fascinating. She is a card sender with SOC (not one of my customers or downline) and understands the importance of sending cards. She has placed many orders with a particular person who is also in direct sales. One order was $400, another month it was $300 then

I was so excited about the news for the new SOC iPhone App! I downloaded it for free, logged into my account and started to send cards!!! I thought to myself- how is this possible with over 14,000 cards, images and my contacts? Well, they did it. It is very simple. I logged in and the screen shows my address, points and expense I have in my account. I select catalog at the bottom of the screen

Direct Sale Representatives usually get a bad wrap. There are many people, for many reasons who are left with a bad taste in their mouth when they hear about direct sales or MLM. They associate it with scams or a person who was pushing distributorship way too much. Now while there have been a few scams out there and pushy people. There are many that are not. Companies are only as good as its

I have to tell you this story of my sister. She worked at an office for a couple of years and like many of Americans today, she found herself in the administrator's office and was told they had to cut back. After serious talks, they had to let her and others in the office go; including her boss. After many months of searching for another job, she found the job of dreams at a well-known law

I love keeping in touch with my family and friends. I uploaded the photos of my new addition, Jordan to my SOC system and poof...he became a model in his own right. There is nothing like his grandparents, aunts, uncles and other family members treasure these moments in cards. Online images that I post on FaceBook are nice, but a card is saved and looked at every day. I created this format in the

We have been asked by many professional photographers about how they can use our card sending system to keep in touch with their clients; as well as; making their clients customers of our system.

I thought of this topic as I was lying in bed last night. For those of you who know me this is not an irregular thing for me to do. On top of three kids, a husband, two successful businesses and planning a Women's Expo and Fundraiser. One would think I just crash. But I had an epiphany. So, what is the difference between Dating and Networking? My hypothesis says nothing. There is no difference.

One of the important lessons we want to educate others about is APPRECIATION MARKETING. This may be a new term, but it has been around for generations. Let's break it down.

When I send a card out to a client or friend, I think to myself am I sending out to Give or sending out to Get? Kerry and I love the fact that even as we grow our business we are learning to grow within ourselves. When one sends out to GET, the Universe just takes. Now, maybe this is a bit of a far out concept for some of you, but I think this concept is very simple to understand for most.
