There is so much to love about this business. I wanted to share a special video we created to show the essence of who and what we are.
As a member of my team, you’ll have access to tools like this to assist you in building your business.
This is our Online Greeting Card Business:
Are you over focused on productivity and being efficient? As a business culture, have we lost our way with how important simple appreciation and gratitude is?
Did you know that success in the workplace is directly related to popularity? Now relax, if you are conjuring up visions of high school and that social scene. As adults, we often measure popularity on a whole new scale.
So think what will set you apart and make you likable; and memorable to those who you work with; your clients and your potential business partners.
Imagine if you sent out cards from time to time to your top clients; business prospects and sales team? How far would that go to make them feel appreciated and make you more memorable and likable to them?
Tim Sanders, the Chief Solutions Office at Yahoo.com said – “Our nation is so focused on efficiency and productivity that we forget that “likeability” is truly our lifeline. People who are likable, or who have what I call a high “L-Factor” tend to land jobs more easily, find friends more quickly and have happier relationships. I now believe that having a high “L-Factor” isn’t just a way to improve your life, it’s a way to save it!”
A 2000 Yale University study concluded that today’s successful business leaders, for the most part, attained their competitive edge through their “likeability” factor, and that being a high one!
So, what can you do today to increase your “L-Factor”?
We offer a business that thrives in this department. Won’t you join us?
Each day, in your business and your life, you have the opportunity to create a positive business flow. How is this done?
By paying attention to what you send out into the world. This includes your thoughts, your actions and any correspondence.
There is a saying that what you give out, you get back ten-fold. Giving “feels” good and generates a positive chain of events, in many cases.
One of the benefits of operating a business from a position of “Appreciation and Gratitude” Marketing is that through this generosity of spirit can help you achieve your goals.
Expressing Random Acts of Kindness through sending out cards and gifts will generate an interest in your business and supporting you, over time.
Our business of Card Sending is built around acting on promptings. Promptings are those little urges and voices we hear and feel from time to time, reminding and encouraging us to act on a thought to:
Thank someone.
Acknowledge someone.
Forgive someone.
Celebrate someone.
And any number of other occasions. The challenge is, we often ignore those promptings because they are a hassle. Now, through a business of Sending Out Cards, we have changed all of that.
How might this benefit you?
I was recently introduced to the “concept of Appreciation Marketing” when I picked up the book by the same title, written by Tommy Wyatt and Curtis Lewsey. Although I have been aware of what appreciation marketing means, I had never heard the name.
Reading through the book made me so aware of how simple it is to practice gratitude and appreciation in all aspects of my life.
Certainly, in business, we know the importance of good customer service, but how many of us really offer good customer care and appreciation after the transaction? Probably very few. I know I have slipped many times in this area.
Imagine how many customers you might retain; and how many referrals you might gain just by a few small, simple actions, such as:
Send Out a “Thank You” Card after the transaction. Not some crummy email card that gets lost in spam, but a real card with a stamp on it.
Send Out a “We Reward Referrals” Card a few weeks later.
Make a real phone call to check in on things. You’ll leave a message probably 80% of the time. Make it sincere, not like a telemarketer.
Send Out a “How Might We Serve You” card a few months later, just to keep your name out there.
Send Out Birthday Cards to your clients and customers. Who doesn’t love getting a birthday card? Just ask for the date and drop it into a contact manager.
Send out Thanksgiving, Christmas and other Holiday cards.
These are just a few simple, but powerful ideas for creating an appreciation marketing campaign for your business. Imagine, a few simple steps: Send Out Cards; Make a few random phone calls; reward referrals – all of this can lead to increased business for you!
