Build a Referral Network

Nothing makes people feel more appreciated than a kind word contained in a personalized greeting card from you. It works because it's unexpected, shows attention to detail, and it communicates your message in a way that's virtually guaranteed to be well received. By automating the process of sending a personalized greeting card, we've made it possible for you to touch the people that matter to you frequently, easily and cost effectively.

There is a company with an online contact management system that automates sending REAL greeting cards and postcards with REAL stamps - personalized in your own handwriting - through the US Mail - and you never have to touch the cards. This system prints, stuffs, stamps and mails the postcards and greeting cards with the click of a mouse - for a fraction of the usual costs! Click here to view our full video presentation.

These aren't low budget knock-offs of other quality greeting card manufacturers. Instead, each of our cards is an original design created and printed for you on the highest quality stock available. These are NOT eCards. We send real greeting cards that have your custom message written inside in your handwriting with your signature on them!

  1. PicturePlus allows you to upload, organize and store all your digital photos and put a personal picture on a card or postcard. You can access them anywhere at anytime and even add captions and enhancements.

  7. We do all the busy work. We stuff the envelope, add postage, and mail the card for you. We print your cards and mail them for you for less than the cost of a greeting card in a regular store! Quality greeting cards purchased in a store normally cost on average $3.00 each. Even if you buy greeting cards in bulk and limit your choice of variety, cards can cost about $2.00 each. With our system, you can send personalized greeting cards for less than $1.00 each!

  8. With our automated greeting card sender you can motivate, encourage, uplift and show your appreciation in ways that you never thought possible. Stay on the minds of the people who matter to you. You will be remembered as someone who remembers!

Marketing Best Practices

Most home buyers after the first year can not even remember if their Realtor was a male or female much less remember their name. This is going to make it extremely difficult for them to refer you business. Most Real Estate Marketing tools don't allow you to stay in front of your clients on a personal level. It would be fair to say that 98% of mail is junk, bills, or self-promoting blast mail outs. When a client receives a personal handwritten card it stands out like a thousand dollar bill. Consistent personal cards will guarantee you to be on the top of your customer's mind which will lead to referrals and those lead to sales.

One might say "this all sounds good to stay in front of your customers on a personal level but I have 400 or 500 or even a 1000 past clients and I can't write a card every 45 days to stay in front of them."

SendOutCards is an online card company which prints, stuffs, and mails your cards with your Handwriting and your Signature with a real stamp. They even can add gifts to your card such as brownies, cookies, chocolates, gift cards and book! There are over 10,000 cards to choose from and you can even create your own cards. If you have any picture you would like to send someone, just load it on the system, type a message on the front, and they will send it for you. You can send just one card or thousands with the click of the mouse.

If you would like any more information or would like to "Test Drive" the system and send a FREE CARD to a past customer or someone you are currently working with click this Real Estate Marketing link and one of SendOutCards representatives will walk you through sending a FREE Card.

Marketing Tips and Practices

A hand-written note differentiates your business from every other business. Quite simply, hand-written correspondence is a wonderful way to build your business. When I say build your business, I am not just referring to acquiring new customers. I am also referring to keeping the customers you have!

Customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked

The average person knows of three home transactions a year. Lets say you only sold ten homes last year. You would have the opportunity for thirty referrals if you stay on the forefront of your clients mind. Most Realtors would finish the year discouraged at their past performance instead of being foucused on the fact they now have ten referral sources and possible repeat buyers.

Appreciation can be shown in several different ways. But in our fast pace world today it is very difficult to express gratitude in the most personal way, a handwritten card. Thankfully there are companies online that can do all the leg work for you. They can print out your cards with your handwriting and your signature and kick them out in the mail for you. They can also add any picture to your card and even type a message on the front.

The time you save in using these systems is worth more than the system itself. You can set up sequential cards to stay in front of your customers and they will do it all for you. All you do is pick out the card you want type in your personal message, click send and they do the rest.

Easy Real Estate Marketing

A hand-written note differentiates your business from every other business. Quite simply, hand-written correspondence is a wonderful way to build your business. When I say build your business, I am not just referring to acquiring new customers. I am also referring to keeping the customers you have!

Clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked

According to a study conducted by the Technical Assistance Research Project in Washington DC, 68% of customers leave because of 'perceived indifference'. In other words, customers don't think you care about their business. As Sir William Jones said, 'The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated'. Our customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked.

Another great advantage in sending a personal note for your Real Estate Marketing ….people tend to keep these cards. Whenever I receive a nice note from someone, I display it one my desk for awhile. Every time I see the card, I am warmly reminded of that person or business.

Building Customer Loyalty

So, Why Don't More People Send More Cards?
 
If sending greeting cards is so effective, then why don't more people send cards to everyone they know?
Well... Sending cards takes time... to go to a store, pick out the right card, sign it, address it, and then mail it.
 
Greeting cards cost a lot these days... often as much as $3 or even $4 a card!
With our busy lifestyles, it can be hard to stay on top of important dates.
But I know of a system that can overcome these barriers...
 
There IS a Solution to Cure your Real Estate Marketing Needs!
 
That's right... there is a solution that will enable you to send business greeting cards—or even personal greeting cards—efficiently... and cost effectively.
It's called Send Out Cards and is an innovative company that offers new opportunities to connect with the important people in your life.
It doesn't take much time... you just login to your SendOutCards account, browse the card catalog till you find the card you want, and with a few clicks of the mouse, customize it, add a signature, maybe even your own photograph, even a gift card or some candy if you like, and arrange for it to be stuffed, stamped and mailed!
 
It saves you money... Once you become a member of SendOutCards.com, sending each card costs just over a dollar—and that includes the stamp! Compare that to cards you buy in a store that cost at least $2 apiece (often as much as $4 or more) and then add postage stamps that cost more and more each year. You're starting to see how much you'll save, aren't you?
 
SendOutCards has a system that enables you to enter all of your important card-giving dates and your contacts once and then your cards will be sent out like clockwork just when you specified. It couldn't be easier!
 
In Summary:
  • Printed business greeting cards of the highest quality (personal styles too!)
  • Sent by mail in an envelope with a real stamp
  • Customized messaging
  • Handwriting fonts... even your own handwriting!
  • Cost just over $1 per card
  • Can add your own photos
 If you would like to "Test Drive" the system go to this Real Estate Marketing link and one of their Reps will let you send a free card!

Large Referral Network

Staying on the forefront of your past customers mind is one of the most important aspects of Real Estate Marketing. People love to give referrals to Realtors for whom they had a great experience with. Psychologist say when referring a friend or family member to a person or company they have the same satisfaction when the task is completed as if they had done it themselves. Everyone likes to help others have the same good experience they have personally had. Therefore your customers will willingly give you referrals. The key is keeping them from forgetting how great of an experience they had with you. One can do this through constant appreciation. When people feel appreciated a wonderful thing happens.

They want you to succeed as much as you do and they want to be a part of the process. The best way for them to help is to become free referral sources. Now instead of you being the only person thinking about your Real Estate Marketing you have mad ambassadors out of your past clients whom at every opportunity are promoting your business. You have the privilege of entering other peoples "Inner Circle" and this is a powerful thing. You have now become not only the person everyone wants to do business with but now they want to be your friend. And since people do business with people they know, love, or trust, when you enter others "Inner Circle" you have become a trusted referral.

Recently, I attended a Real Estate Marketing event for my company. The speaker that night spoke about good networking practices. One of the practices she referred to was making sure to follow-up with everyone you meet at these events. She aptly referred to it as 'pinging'.

The word 'ping' takes its name from a submarine sonar search -- you send a short sound burst and listen for an echo or a 'ping' coming back. So, in networking terms, when you send out a ping, whether with an email, a phone call or a hand- written note, you're inviting that person to 'come back' and communicate with you thus beginning a relationship with that person;one that will hopefully benefit you both long term.

A hand-written note differentiates your business from every other business

I always make it a practice to send out hand-written thank you notes to everyone I meet at these events. I like hand- written notes, because they're a physical manifestation of your company (your brand) to that potential client, strategic partner or referral source. A hand-written note sets the tone for your company. Hand-written notes also differentiate you from most other businesses. Ask yourself when the last time you received a hand-written note from someone you met at a business setting was?

Quite simply, hand-written correspondence is a wonderful way to build your business. When I say build your business, I am not just referring to acquiring new customers. I am also referring to keeping the customers you have!

Customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked

According to a study conducted by the Technical Assistance Research Project in Washington DC, 68% of customers leave because of 'perceived indifference'. In other words, customers don't think you care about their business. As Sir William Jones said, 'The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated'. Our customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked.

Another great advantage in sending a personal note….people tend to keep these cards. Whenever I receive a nice note from someone, I display it one my desk for awhile. Every time I see the card, I am warmly reminded of that person or business.

So, when should you send a hand-written card to someone? Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Every time you meet someone new and get their contact information (i.e. anetworking function, a business meeting, a training session, on the plane, a social party, waiting in line at the grocery store, etc.)
  2. When a customer makes a large purchase from you or sends a referral your way.
  3. When you embark upon a joint venture with a new company.

There is an online greeting card company that can work hand in hand with your SEO or Postcard Marketing plans. They can print personal cards of your choice with your Handwriting and Signature, add a gift to it and mail it out the very next day! There are over 10,000 cards to choose from and not only do they have a huge selection but you can create your own cards by uploading a picture from your camera or by simply finding one on Google Images.

People love to give referrals to Realtors for whom they had a great experience with. Psychologist say when referring a friend or family member to a person or company they have the same satisfaction when the task is completed as if they had done it themselves. Everyone likes to help others have the same good experience they have personally had. Therefore your customers will willingly give you referrals. The key is keeping them from forgetting how great of an experience they had with you. One can do this through constant appreciation. When people feel appreciated a wonderful thing happens.

They want you to succeed as much as you do and they want to be a part of the process. The best way for them to help is to become free referral sources. Now instead of you being the only person thinking about your Real Estate Marketing you have mad ambassadors out of your past clients whom at every opportunity are promoting your business. You have the privilege of entering other peoples "Inner Circle" and this is a powerful thing. You have now become not only the person everyone wants to do business with but now they want to be your friend. And since people do business with people they know, love, or trust, when you enter others "Inner Circle" you have become a trusted referral.

Recently, I attended a Real Estate Marketing event for my company. The speaker that night spoke about good networking practices. One of the practices she referred to was making sure to follow-up with everyone you meet at these events. She aptly referred to it as 'pinging'.

The word 'ping' takes its name from a submarine sonar search -- you send a short sound burst and listen for an echo or a 'ping' coming back. So, in networking terms, when you send out a ping, whether with an email, a phone call or a hand- written note, you're inviting that person to 'come back' and communicate with you thus beginning a relationship with that person;one that will hopefully benefit you both long term.

A hand-written note differentiates your business from every other business

I always make it a practice to send out hand-written thank you notes to everyone I meet at these events. I like hand- written notes, because they're a physical manifestation of your company (your brand) to that potential client, strategic partner or referral source. A hand-written note sets the tone for your company. Hand-written notes also differentiate you from most other businesses. Ask yourself when the last time you received a hand-written note from someone you met at a business setting was?

Quite simply, hand-written correspondence is a wonderful way to build your business. When I say build your business, I am not just referring to acquiring new customers. I am also referring to keeping the customers you have!

Customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked

According to a study conducted by the Technical Assistance Research Project in Washington DC, 68% of customers leave because of 'perceived indifference'. In other words, customers don't think you care about their business. As Sir William Jones said, 'The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated'. Our customers and clients want and need to be appreciated, remembered and thanked.

Another great advantage in sending a personal note….people tend to keep these cards. Whenever I receive a nice note from someone, I display it one my desk for awhile. Every time I see the card, I am warmly reminded of that person or business.

So, when should you send a hand-written card to someone? Here are a few suggestions:

  1. Every time you meet someone new and get their contact information (i.e. anetworking function, a business meeting, a training session, on the plane, a social party, waiting in line at the grocery store, etc.)
  2. When a customer makes a major purchase from you or sends a referral your way.
  3. When you embark upon a joint venture with a new company.

There is an online greeting card company that can work hand in hand with your SEO or Postcard Marketing plans. They can print personal cards of your choice with your Handwriting and Signature, add a gift to it and mail it out the very next day! There are over 10,000 cards to choose from and not only do they have a huge selection but you can create your own cards by uploading a picture from your camera or by simply finding one on Google Images.
