Bo McKinney-Send Out Cards User Testimonial:
" SOC has been an incredible tool in my financial advisory business. I've created campaigns, automated my birthday and anniversary cards, sent meaningful thank you cards with small tokens of appreciation and dramatically increased the number of holiday cards-all with the click of my computer mouse. What has been remarkable is that my overall business has increased by over 30% in a very difficult economic environment. The amount of business related to referrals alone has increased an astonishing 750%! SOC has truly turned my clients into 'Raving Fans.' After using SOC in my business for almost 2 years, I can't imagine being in business without it. I love it, my clients love it, and it allows me to easily show them the appreciation they deserve"

JEREMY MACBETH-
Wanted to share an SOC Success Story with everyone that Triple J Ductwork (Jeremy Macbeth) had with Target Marketing.
* Triple J Ductwork had a custom card made with their company logo & contact information on the front of a card ($25.00).
* They manually entered 80 Roofing Contractors into their Contact Manager.
* Using their Company Custom Card they created a Campaign Postcard advertising their capability to manufacture Custom Chimney Caps and uploaded a photo of a stainless steel chimney cap to the bottom of the Postcard.
* They sent 80 Custom Postcards to the Roofing Contractors with 1 click ($56.00)
Results:
* Gained a new Roofing Contractor client who's first order was for 24 chimney caps .... $4,600
* Triple J is confident this Roofing Contractor will become a long-term client.
From feedback they received, Triple J will next use this same Campaign Postcard to send directly to Chimney Repair companies.
Triple J has other Target Marketing ideas and will not hesitate to utilize SendOutCards --- "SendOutCards is definitely worth it."

The Vice President of a major national bank recently gave a presentation to the Owner/President of a business. The VP knew she was at least 1 of 3, maybe 4, banks who have 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 & her bank from the competition ... make a lasting, professional impression.
Well the following week she received a phone call from the Owner/President of the business ... she had earned his business:
$100,000 business loan
The Business' banking account
The Owner/President's personal banking accounts
The Owner/President told the VP of the bank that she was the only person who sent him a Thank You to express her appreciation for the opportunity & for meeting him. Professional & Sincere treatment like this made him feel confident that she & her bank will provide him with the service his business needs.
I learned about this success story at my BNI meeting when the Bank VP gave this testimonial to our entire BNI Chapter. WOW!
VICKI GARNICK-
Just a short story to share something that happened this past week. SendOutCards has helped me get back in touch with family and friends. One of those friends was Cameron Garnick. Cameron and I tried time and again to do the SOC walk through, either his computer was down or something would happen to where we could not follow through. He understood the concept behind SOC and how it could quite possibly help them save his ranch in the Jackson Hole, WY area.
Tue. Sep. 25th he called me to thank me for sending the cards and said how good it was to get back in contact, and how nice it would be to see me face to face. He also told me he was heading up into the high country and would call me when he got back.
Well time went by, and on Fri. Oct.5, 2007 I called to follow up, One of his eight kids, Savannah, told me he had died of a heart attack Thur. Sep.27, 2007, two days after we talked, he was 53 years old. They buried him Tues. Oct. 2 2007. I would have been there had I known.
Needless to say, I have been torn up by this as He was a dear friend
The point of why I share this is that SOC was a true blessing. I had a great 2 months with my friend Cameron because I sent a card! I was able to share with him, and he knew I cared and I would look in on his family, if something happened.
I’m writing to you my SOC family to let you know there is a great family in Wyoming that could use some cards, love, support and Prayer!
I’m asking you all, if you feel led to, send a card to the Garnicks, and if you happen to be in the Jackson Hole area, stop by! You will have the best time of your life!!!
May I leave you with a quote from Cameron.
"May you find balance on your trail to the truth"
Thank you I know there are many to help and pray for in this world, but if you feel led, I will be very grateful.
God Bless You!
DEBORAH BROLLEY-
Just wanted to share a story. I think I told you that the bank we bank at and Molly, has allowed us to come in, and quietly let their customers send a card if they wish. So many are busy and in a hurry, so we hand them information, and I hand them a candy bar, where I made a wrapper to go around it, that says "In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month" Click here to send a FREE CARD,
and it has my website, and phone number. Well when I handed it to this one lady, she started crying, and had me crying, her daughter in her 30's just had breast cancer surgery on Monday at Beaumont, and she was so thrilled, that I was allowing her to go and send her a ''Thinking of YOU" card, with no obligation, she was so touched. All month, I have been passing out coupons, that say "In Honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month' or the candy bars, and you know it doesn't matter, if they sign up as a retailer, or wholesaler, or distributor, to see the smile in that ladies eyes, and to say Thank You to me, for spreading cheer, meant so much. It truly is Giving to Give. We have such a Powerful Movement we can be involved in, and the choice is up to others whether they want to be a part of it, or not. The ones who decide to be a part of the MOVEMENT, willbe blessed in ways they don't even realize that will come their
way. To share some status, only about one fourth of the people will take the time to stop, and one fourth of that will sit and send a card. So even if you spend several hours at an event to be sharing SOC, and you go home with only 5 or 8 names, you never know what the POWER of ONE can bring you. I feel we live in such a fast pace world, that so many distributors, expect lots ofleads, lots of people signing up, when they need to be grateful for those 5 or 8, and believe in the "MAGIC OF GIVING".
Have a Powerful Successful, Blessed Day!
JAY-
Mine wasn't a gift but it was a big win. Three months ago, I did a listing presentation for a seller who was shopping for an agent. A day before that presentation in September, 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 lead generation marketing plan since then. Two weeks ago, I created a Picture Plus card with that photo and some embellishment about how to market nice and well-priced homes like this one. A week later he called and said"I'm ready and you're it."
So, two things: When it's sold, the $398 is a tiny drop in the bucket. And, if you know someone who is looking for a 2bed 1bath cottage in East Sac, it will be listed very soon.

KEN KOWALSKI-
I am a general contractor in the Detroit metro area. 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 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, I was told I was $11,000 higher than the other guy. She said, "He said all that he quoted would be done." I then said, "You did not only get a good price, but a great price." I then went on to say, "I am putting down my sales hat. My material cost is more than what he is charging for a 5 week project. Please get another quote." Weeks later she called to tell me that the third contractor came out and my bid was still $1,000.00 higher than the third contractor's bid. Last week I signed the agreement for my asking price and Tomorrow June 24, 2008 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 were two-panel cards from the SendOutCards standard 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.
