Greetings!
"Don't Confuse Action with Motion!"
-Saundra Pelletier
Each year, I set out to make each new year better than the one before. Some of my resolutions have actionable steps and I reach my goals by year end. Others are idealized and I realize that they aren't meant to be attained.
In my business, I've spent the past few years learning how to use Email Marketing with Constant Contact, Send Out Cards, and Promotional Products to keep my clients connected to their clients. What I realized this past year is these communication methods are not just for businesses, but for individuals as well.
So my resolution for 2010 is to give my family, friends, and business colleagues Extra Handy Tips to use Constant Contact, Send Out Cards, and Promotional Products to stay connected personally and professionally.

What is Email Marketing?
Email Marketing is delivering professional email communications to an interested audience containing information the recipient finds valuable.
Sending email just to send email is a sure fire way to get your audience to hit delete. Before you send any kind of email, ask yourself...What is my goal in sending this email? Who is receiving it?
Email Marketing is not like direct mail marketing. Your readers are more protective of their inbox than their mailbox. No matter how important you think your email is, ultimately it is your reader who decides to read it or delete it!
Tip: Set yourself up as an expert.
For most people, time is short, so keep your content educational rather than promotional. You're recipient is more likely to stay on your email list if they can learn something from you.

Send Out Cards

What is Send Out Cards?
When was the last time you sent an unexpected card at an unexpected time to someone you care about? How about a birthday card or Thank you Note? Do you think it would make a difference?
With Send Out Cards, not only can you remember people and share
appreciation, you can motivate, uplift, encourage and truly make a
difference. Here is the interesting thing, the more you do this, the
more you realize that you, the sender of these cards, benefit the most.
Send Out Cards is a unique service that lets you send a printed greeting card with your message in less than 60 Seconds. SendOutCards prints it, stuffs it and mails it, all for less than a greeting card at the store. Tip: For Under $1, A Card in the Mail can make a BIG Difference True Story: After my husband had his interview and was hired, we sent his new boss a Thank You Note. At his holiday party, recently, she told me he was the only person she's ever hired who did that. To Try Send Out Cards for FREE, Click Here for a gift account with five cards.

Promotional Products

What are Promotional Products?
I bet if you look around you, you'll spot a Promotional Product. From the mug in your hand to the magnet on your fridge, everywhere you look you'll see an item with a name on it.
In this day and age, the best promotions are the ones that set you apart and keep you top of mind. Promotional Products are personalized items that tell your clients you are thinking about them. The more personal you make them, the more remembered you are! There is a perfect item for every budget and marketing plan.
Tip: When planning your marketing for the year,
Plan for your Promotional Items.
Items can take up to 2-12 weeks to produce and ship. Give yourself and your budget time to pick the right item, plan the artwork, and avoid rush charges for production and shipping. Production time is based on approved artwork and shipping is an addition 5-10 business days.
To See what Promotional Product is right for you, check out our catalog with over 100,000 items to choose from. Click Here.
