How giving up Starbucks for 90 days can improve your business

How can giving up Starbucks for 90 days improve your business? Since a Grande Mocha costs $4.45 each, you can save $400 just by giving that up for 90 days. You can save more or less depending on your drink of choice...and that doesn't include all the other items that you can buy in addition to your coffee beverage.

So, what can you do with that $400 to improve your business? There are many things that you can purchase with that hard earned money (believe me, I know how difficult this would be for some of you!), but I'm going to suggest that you invest in a Marketing Bundle from SendOutCards. What's a Marketing Bundle and what is SendOutCards? I'll be glad to explain it to you. If you don't know what SendOutCards is, click here. The Marketing Bundle is one of three bundles that the company offers:


The Personal Bundle is just what it says...a bundle for personal use. The Business Bundle is too much for most people unless you have a company where you'll have several people using the account to keep in touch with their clients and prospects; like a car dealership, a real estate or insurance broker, or a hair or nail salon. That leaves the Marketing Bundle...which as you can see costs $395 or 90 Grande Mochas!

"What do I get for those precious mochas?", you may be asking. That's a very good question and I'll go over each of the items in the bundle.

Eighty percent of cards sent by businesses falls into one of three categories: Nice to meet you, Thank you, and Looking forward to doing business with you. SendOutCards has made it easy to send out those cards with the First Impressions Kit...not only will you make a good first impression with these six cards, you'll be making a great lasting impression. You'll get six card designs, three in white and three in black, on high quality card stock. Now understand that the company doesn't send you a bunch of cards to address and send out! SendOutCards is a print on demand company. When you want to send out a card, the company will print it, stuff it in the envelope, stamp and address it, and take it to the post office...and even include a gift if you'd like! The First Impressions Kit also includes the Custom Brand Manager which allows you to put your logo and branding on the back of every card that you send out!

Next up is the Startup Campaign Value Pack...this includes a 5 touch and a 7 touch card campaign. As you'll learn in the MRM Training Portal, it takes 7 - 12 "touches" before a prospect makes a buying decision. With the 7 touch campaign you just put your prospects' name and birthday into our CRM system and they'll automatically receive a birthday and holiday card, as well as a card celebrating each of the four seasons. This is also good for keeping in touch with friends and family, as well as existing clients. Sending 7 cards over the year works out to a nickel per day, including sales tax and postage! Are your clients worth a nickel a day to you?

The MRM Training Portal is the online Master Relationship Marketing Course. It teaches how to use cards, as well as other means of building a relationship with your clients and prospects.

The Handwriting Font allows you to upload your own handwriting as a font when creating your cards. There are also dozens of pre-existing fonts that you can use. Plus you can upload up to four signatures to add to your cards.

Since it costs 3 - 5 points to send a card, you're provided with enough points to send 40 - 60 cards immediately! Although you'll have to add 49 cents postage for each card.

If you decide that you need more memory for cards, campaigns and photos, you can always upgrade to the unlimited storage plan for a one time fee of $99.

That's everything that you get with the Marketing Bundle for a one time fee of $395, with a $98 annual renewal. You'll also want to add a $39 monthly subscription so you can continue sending cards after the 200 bonus points included with the bundle have been used up.

If you have any questions or would like to sign up, send me an email.
