Send Out Cards

SendOutCards offers a simple and professional way for businesses to follow-up with their customers, vendors and associates. A customer that feels appreciated will continue to do business with you. They will also refer others to you.

At SendOutCards, you can create campaigns that will automatically send out Thank You Cards, Birthday Cards, Holiday Cards, and Promotional Postcards.

Customized Greeting Cards and Postcards

You can customize your business cards with your own logos, photos, or designs. For a nominal fee, SendOutCards will create and set-up your own custom card. With this, a business can choose between their own custom cards, or have the flexibility of using any of the cards already available in SendOutCards main card catalog.

Personalization

With the assistance of your SendOutCards representative, you can have a campaign set-up for your business in just minutes. You can even personalize each piece within a day of its scheduled time to go out. You can have custom greeting cards and postcards made for your business; this lets your customer recognize you.

Example: Let's say you sell insurance. You decide that when someone buys a policy from you, you will send a pre-scheduled campaign of cards to your new customer. You will first send a Thank You Card, then a Birthday Card will be scheduled, A Holiday card will be scheduled and an Anniversary of Policy postcard will be scheduled that promotes new products that you offer. The system will automatically do this for you.

In addition, you can look up a customer's name at any time, click on a card that is scheduled to go out, click on that card and customize your message to that customer at any time.

Businesses can assess how many cards or points they will need per month and then select and purchase the appropriate kit as outlined in "License Programs" to the left.
