Yes Valentine’s Day is a day of love however it doesn’t have to be just for couples.  Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to show appreciation to all those people in your life who you would like to say “I appreciate you”!  Whether it is your clients, friends or family members, everyone loves and deserves to feel appreciated!

vtinesOne of our happy clients sent out a couple hundred Happy Valentine’s cards to his clients and he estimates that the return on these cards was close to $30,000 in new business from his existing clients and their referrals! The key to his success was he wasn’t trying to generate business, he simply wanted to show his appreciation for his clients and sent them a Valentine’s Card to express his gratitude.  Yes it does ‘pay’ to show appreciation!

Take a couple minutes and send out a few notes of appreciation and wish your clients, friends and family a Happy Valentine’s Day.  Maybe even include one of our SendOutCards Valentine’s day gifts help make it extra special. Catch a glimpse of some of our great gifts on our Corporate blog  – http://bit.ly/2014vdaygifts

Not every person will receive a Valentine’s Card from their ‘special someone’ so take a moment and let them know YOU care and appreciate them!

Thanksthanksgivinggiving (Canada: October 14 and USA: November 28) is an amazing time to take a moment and thank your clients for choosing you and remaining a loyal client of yours.  Take a moment to reflect on why you appreciate them and send them a card to say Thank You and wish them a wonderful Thanksgiving with family & friends!

Did You Know… that using the SendOutCards “Campaigns“ feature can save you tons of time?  “Campaigns“ are simply card templates or a series of cards that have been saved on the system that you can use to send to a group of people or use over and over again. Instead of recreating the same card over and over, create it as a “Campaign“ and you can quickly send it out.
