Greeting Card Promotions

Frequently Asked Questions

Question # 1 - How are the cards sent, using this system?

Answer # 1 - SendOutCards.com uses the United States Postal Service (USPS) to send all Greeting Cards and Post Cards. They use First Class postage on all cards and put a real stamp on all cards. They do this so people know they are getting a personal card and not junk mail.

We are often asked why we put a First Class stamp on Post Cards. Two reasons, mail with a First Class stamp has to be delivered or returned to the sender where Post Card rate does not. The Post Cards are larger than the USPS size for the Post Card postage rate. This is an advantage to you because your Post Cards are bigger than standard Post Cards and won't get thrown away as quickly as a regular Post Card.

Cards are normally mailed 1 business day after the card order is placed online.

Question # 3 - What is the main difference between a retail, wholesale, and distributor account?

Answer # 3 - The main difference between the retail account and the wholesale account is volume. If you're going to send a lot of cards out, then you should invest in the wholesale account. This way you'll pay less for each card that is sent. If you're simply going to send 10 - 15 cards out a month, you should sign up for a retail account.

If you want to offer the SendOutCards.com system to your friends or customers, then you'll want to become a distributor.

Question # 4 - Do you own SendOutCards.com or are you a partner in the company?

Answer # 4 - I am simply a distributor for the company. It's similar to being an Internet affiliate. However, I add significant value to the SendOutCards.com system by making available high performing business cards that you can use in your business. You can become an affiliate as I have by investing in a Distributor account.

Question # 6 - What can I do and what can I NOT do with the custom referral cards?

Answer # 6 - If you have a Retail account or a Wholesale account, the proprietary custom referral cards you will receive can only be used within the SendOutCards.com (SOC) system. This means that you can NOT use the designs or written copy to print your own cards or postcards outside of the SOC system. In addition, you can NOT transfer these referral cards to other SOC users within the system for any reasons.

Question # 7 - How do I sign up, what's the next step?

Answer # 7 - When you fill out the order form on the SendOutCards.com secure website, your account will be set up immediately. Your initial points and postage will be placed into your account immediately. The custom referral cards will normally be transferred to your account after you acknowledge that you have completed the new distributor training.

You will have access to the system as soon as your account is set up.

Question # 8 - How do I use the SendOutCards.com system to get referrals?

Answer # 8 - Develop your own follow up referral campaign. Develop a good mix of "thank you" cards, "just thinking of you" cards, and "referral cards." Depending on the lifetime value of your customer, you determine how many cards you want to go out per customer (I usually do a 12 month referral follow up program.) Every time you make a sale, enter your customer's contact information into the system and assign that person to your referral campaign.

Question # 9 - How do I create my own custom cards?

Answer # 9 - SendOutCards.com has several graphics designers on staff. Once you know what you want on your card you can send it to their design staff and for $50 they'll create it for you. Or you can go to Elance.com and have a designer create a card there for you. If you are a photographer or a designer you can simply send your graphics files into SendOutCards.com to be set up in your system. It only costs $10 if you have your own graphic files or photos.
