In these modern times its so refreshing to get handmade or personalized cards. It is also great marketing!  Yes I said marketing.  If you want your family, clients and prospects to take notice and they will notice and know you care if you use a "Personal Touch" and make the mail piece relevant to the recipient.  

Try this, for the next month or so and you will see what I mean.  Try to send "PERSONALIZED" cards or letters to key people or accounts for relevant reasons. For example if you call on an account, thank them for the opportunity and how you enjoyed your visit with relevancy.   You will me amazed on the results that can happen over time.  I have even mailed personalized cards when there has been an issue and to cement good re poor. 

If you have a large amount of clients and or prospects and you want to give them personalized mail pieces that are automated that get results there are many cost effective solutions that will get a strong return on investment.  For more information please click here to contact me to discuss solutions.
