3. Banking
"Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful
system with me. It has saved me so much time
and has given me an easy way to stay organized
when sending cards to my clients! This system
has helped me stay in contact with my clients
which results in more sales.
About a week ago three clients came into my
branch thanking me for the lovely card I had
sent them, and they said that when they
received the card it made them think about how they needed to come and see me! I opened
a new business account and did two home equity lines of credit.”
- ​Christina L., Personal Banking Officer
“Recently the VP of the bank gave a presentation to the owner of a business. This VP knew
she was at least 1 of 3, maybe 4, banks who had made presentations to this business owner
in the past 2 weeks. Immediately after returning to her office from the presentation she
created a personalized Thank You card using SendOutCards. She knew she had to further
separate herself and her bank from the competition, and make a lasting, professional
impression.
Well the following week she received a phone call from the owner of the business. She had
earned his business: a $100,000 business loan, the Business' banking account, and the
owner’s personal banking accounts,
The owner told the VP of the bank that she was the only person who had sent him a Thank
You to express her appreciation for the opportunity and for meeting him. Professional and
sincere treatment like this made him feel confident that she and her bank will provide him
with the service his business needs. Chris learned about this success story at his BNI meeting
when the Bank VP gave this testimonial to their entire BNI Chapter!”
- ​Chris N., Banker

4. Business Coaching
"I started using SendOutCards in the December of 2004.
As a coach and business plan writer, I have incorporated
it into every new business I have helped launch from
restaurants to gift basket businesses, to mortgage
companies. Every single user I have trained who put our
system into action saw incredible growth in their
business. I have not missed a birthday or anniversary to
anyone important to me. It has improved many
relationships with people who thought I was too busy to
care. SendOutCards has improved my life in ways I never
thought of."
- Tony S., Business Coach and Business plan
writer

5. Catering
"I cover my business and my personal life with
the cards. I do meals for people and send thank
you cards. I take a photo of the food and send
it to them in cards. In turn, my clients are so
touched they have talked to their friends, and
my catering business has grown ten-fold!"
- Otto B., At Home Caterer

6. Construction
“Two years ago I remodeled a kitchen, and that
lady's neighbor recently approached me to quote
the remodeling of her own kitchen. After I met
with her I sent her a SOC card and thanked her for
her time. I then again sent another card telling her
I would be in touch soon. When I gave her the
price of $30,000, she told me I was $11,000
higher than the other guy. I told her that my
material cost were more than what the other guy
is charging for a 5 week project and asked her to
get another quote. Weeks later she called to tell
me that the third contractor came back and my bid was still $1,000.00 higher
Then last week she signed the agreement for my asking price. Tomorrow I tear out her
kitchen to remodel. I asked her why she selected my company and she told me she
liked the cards I sent her.
All of the cards I sent her were standard cards from the SendOutCards catalog, and I
did not add any pictures to them. Thank you for not only a great product to keep in
touch with people you care about, but also a great sales tool.”
- Ken K., General Contractor

7. Insurance
"I have been using the program and was
referred two new clients. One was a little one,
the other however was about $1500! I really
like the new feature of being able to send a
gift card."
- Phil. C., Commercial Insurance Agent
"Prior to discovering this card sending
system, we rarely showed our customers
appreciation or sent out handwritten greeting cards. We immediately dove head-first
into the system and in less than 12 months created a "by-referral-only" business with
our insurance practice!
We've estimated that we've saved over $50,000 in the last 2 years by canceling other
fruitless marketing campaigns. For the first time: we have people calling US to write
their insurance!
Your card sending system is a Godsend!"
- J.Jackson, Farmers Insurance Group

8. Florist
“I met an art gallery owner at a networking function, just before
Thanksgiving, who was very interested in flowers for her gallery.
Being a florist, I was so busy for Thanksgiving that I wasn't able to
contact her.​ Thanksgiving morning, I popped on the computer and
sent her a card, including a photo of one of my arrangements I
thought she would enjoy. The Wednesday after Thanksgiving, I
called her and got a warm reception. It was very easy to set an
appointment with her to meet."
- ​Karin C., Florist

9. Real Estate
“The neatest thing about it is when I call
them back. They remember who I am, and
for a salesperson that's the ultimate to be
able to be known by your first name and
to have them say 'Hey, I got your card'
and automatically they're happy about
your phone call"
- Geoff R., Home Sales
Representative
"SendOutCards has been an invaluable client / prospect acquisition, appreciation and follow
up service for my professional Marketing and Real Estate Businesses. I have always followed
the business philosophy that 'You never get a second chance for a first impression.'
SendOutCards has definitely given me the edge over my competition to give the ultimate
professional first , second, third and so on impression. The additional bottom line income is
proof that SendOutCards is a must have marketing tool for any business professional."
- George M., Real Estate Agent
“Three months ago, I did a listing presentation for a seller who was shopping for an agent. A
day before that presentation, I drove by and took a picture of the home to put in my
presentation. He wasn't ready to make a decision at that time but was duly impressed with
my presentation. I've had this prospect on my marketing plan since then. Two weeks ago, I
created a card with that photo of his home on the front and inside some info about how to
market nice and well-priced homes like his. A week later he called and said, I'm ready and
you're it! "
- Jim M., Real Estate Agent

10. Industrial Distribution
"I am the VP of Sales for D, an Industrial Distributor​,​ here
in H., Texas. We are a $500 million dollar distributor with
1900 employees. I have used this card sending system for
close to 14 months and have sent over 4000+ cards to my
customers, prospects, and vendors. I have offered this card
sending system to my sales people to use to connect to
their customers and create the competitive edge.
In April I launched a new division and began a series of
marketing promotions to a defined database of customers.
Each month I would either send a postcard, a greeting card
or tri-fold; featuring product promotions, company
updates, etc. This was especially useful right after
Hurricane Ike. I have had people call and thank me for a card I sent, and I have had
customers and prospects post the cards on their cubicle walls because the photo was
powerful. I have had my sales professionals who are using this card sending system tell
me they have had calls and emails thanking them for the special card. As a VP of Sales,
I recommend this card sending system to all my friends and NONE of my competitors.
This is my competitive edge in the market place." - ​VP Sales, D
Enterprises

11. Private jet sales
“A salesman for a private jet company had been trying to get in
with a corporate executive, and was building a relationship with
his assistant. Finally, after completing his presentation, he sent
the assistant a 'Thank You' card with a box of brownies. There
were other jet companies bidding for the contract as well. The
salesman called back a few days later, after the assistant had
received the card and gift. Even though the executive had told
her 'do not disturb', she put the salesman through to her boss
and he ended up getting the multi-million dollar contract!”
- Private Jet Salesman

12. Marketing
“Our results, with over 25 years of sales and marketing
experience, is that I believe Send Out Cards is the single best
marketing tool for anyone looking to increase sales from their
present customers, generate tons of referrals, and significantly
increase their sales and profits.”
- J W, Best, LLC

13. Photography
"Instead of a client saying 'Oh, THE photographer did this'
they're saying 'MY photographer' sent me this nice card."
- Stuart M, Photographer
"I've used SOC to send thank you cards to my clients and I use
an image from their session. The front is just a plain image so
they could frame it if they chose to...the photo quality was
great, the color calibrations seemed correct and the glossy
coating makes it nice."
- B. Sehorne, Liberty Digital Photography

14. Specialty Engraving
"I am the CEO of Specialty Engraving​,​ a $3.8 million dollar
awards company in W, NC. We started using the Card system in
June 2007 and the results have been phenomenal! We created
two cards to help people stay up to date on their awards
programs, and since beginning to send them, we have generated
$1,000,532 in sales (through 12/08). To say I'm pleased with the
decision to use this awesome program is an understatement!"
- David, President/CEO S. Engraving

15. CPA, Accountant
"I am a new distributor of SendOutCards, and I use the cards to
promote my Tax Office. I send them out as a reminder to
clients that I'm here for them, waiting to make their
appointments before Tax Season. I use them during Tax Season
to remind clients of deadlines, to promote specific services, and
to get attention for clients who have special needs during the
season. I have the Campaign Managers already set up, and have
done special cards for my Tax Office.
The cards have had excellent responses so far! I also use them
to promote and encourage those who do good jobs around my
community. It's been great seeing the response to that."
- Jan V., Tax Officer

16. Travel and Meeting Planner
“I have used SendOutCards in a variety of ways in my business.
For new customers, I send a thank you for your business. For repeat
customers, I send a welcome home and sometimes include a small
gift (they are VERY reasonably priced). If they have shared pictures
of their trip with me, I will also include one of those photos on their
card. They LOVE that! I have also started capturing birthdays and
anniversaries so I can send them a greeting on those dates.”
- Linda M., Travel and Meeting Planner

17. Virtual Assistant
"I’ve sent Brownies to several people. They are all completely
surprised at receiving a gift in the mail. And, they all rave at how
delicious they were. I sent to 3 of my team members and two of
the said – no way, I’m not sharing those! LOL"
This testimonial came from one of her clients: "OH... TOTALLY
FORGOT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE BROWNIES!!! That was
like the coolest thing ever to get in the mail! I appreciate you and
your team just as much, thanks for everything and look forward
to working together on many more projects in the future!"
- Denise C. Virtual Assistant
