Beyond Birthdays:
Few of us would argue that the world today is different then we expected. Extraordinary endings
and beginnings have become more prevalent, even commonplace today — divorce,
career change, relocation, dislocation, birth, death….
As a church leader —
besides sending birthday cards — why should you care about a silly little greeting card service?
To answer this question, ask yourself — are there times when a quick greeting card could enhance your face-to-face contact with members of your church?
Example #1: After counseling with a distraught parent, what if she received a nice card in the mail from you, assuring her that you are glad she counseled with you?
Example #2: After visiting a sick or disabled member of the church, what if you sent an inspirational card to let him know that he remains in your thoughts?
Example #3: A new birth blesses a church family. What if you sent a card to congratulate the parents?
Example #4: A young man or woman graduates from school, wins an award or achieves distinction in some endeavor. It takes you about a minute to let them know that you share in the joy of their accomplishment.
Example #5: You send a card to a family you haven't seen for a while, simply to let them know you care.
Keep in mind that once you upload the church list to the “Contact Manager,” sending one of over 12,000 greeting
cards is almost as easy as making a note in your “day planner.”
Except for composing your message, these four steps take most people about a minute:
Step One: Find your contact in the “Contact Manager” and click “Send Card.”
Step Two: Choose a card.
Step Three: Type the message. Your recipient’s address and your address are already displayed.
Step Click “Send Card.”
Process complete. Card sent.
The greeting card company prints the card (in your handwriting and signature if you choose), stuffs the envelope, puts on a first class stamp and mails the card for you, the next day or whenever you schedule the card to be mailed.
Unless you upload a photo to be printed inside the card, cards cost less than a dollar.
(otherwise uploading a photo is just $.31 more)
Now, we just have one more thing to show you.
Can this technology help you with your church stewardship?
The Great Experiment:
All of us know the power of greeting cards.
They are the only mailed correspondence that always provide comfort, encouragement, congratulations or other good tidings.
For good reason, a greeting card is the first piece of mail anyone opens.
In fact, there are at least 10 people in your life who would love to receive a birthday card, an anniversary
card, a get-well-soon card or a congratulations card this week — from you.
Let us suggest an experiment.
Step #1: Go out today and purchase 5 greeting cards at the mall or local card shop.
Write the message, address the envelope, attach the stamp and mail the cards.
(You may need to schedule up to an hour for this part of the experiment.)
Step #2: Contact us and let us set up a sample account for you.
Send 5 greeting cards using our system. The greeting card company will print the card, include your message, address the envelope and mail the cards for you.
In a few days, call the recipients to make sure they received the cards.
You will discover one very common reaction — without exception, the people who received your cards appreciate your thoughts and efforts.
In other words, the experiment was worth your time and improved (in a small way) the lives of others.
However, utilizing our system takes one sixth the time (or less) and costs much less than half.
Please, contact us and let us set up a sample account for you, so that you may experiment a little with this service.
We would also be happy to send you the free DVD that explains this service in detail, just ask, and send me your
mailing address.
