Good Morning Greetings!Greetings!  

 

Do you have your Halloween costume yet?  Now that Thanksgiving is over we are only a few short weeks away from the spookiest Holiday of the year.  So it leads me to this question are you a Tricker or a Treater?  I know I love the Treats so please don't make me Trick you. ;-P

Coffee & Dessert Sponsorship Opportunities

 

 

So what does a Dessert and Coffee Sponsor get?

 

  • The sponsor has the ability to put a small display or table tent on each lunch table with a promotional piece.
  • The sponsor will have an 8 1/2 X 11" display card placed with our Dessert and Coffee table.  They are also allowed to place some additional display materials on the Dessert table.
  • Your business will be highlighted with the Lunch Reminder notice when it is sent out, and the weekly announcements.
  • And last but not least, your sponsorship includes a '2 minute spotlight' chance to speak during the lunch itself (this may be adjusted if a guest speaker is on).

 

All this for only $50!

 

Now, where else can you get that much advertising for your event or business for only $50?

 

Are you ready to book your spot?  Contact reservations@independentachievers.com all requests will be done on a first come first served basis.

 

 

Wondering what our top earners in SendOutCards are thinking about Apple launching a 'card' app?


 

 
  Well, besides the fact that Apple's lowest priced cards are almost 4 times the cost of our cards, we think that this announcement will only help us. We are confident, that Apple will never teach people one on one to be generous and reach out in kindness. We're very excited . . . this just validates it all. We are on the right track! 
 

 
Did you know, SendOutCards offers a way to get PAID every time someone sends a card or a gift? So, we'll let Apple do massive advertising for us. (They will NEVER offer a way to make money1) 
 

 
"Amazon, Netflix and Apple (itunes) have proven that taking an OFFLINE product and bringing it ONLINE expands the marketplace drastically (for example, Barnes and Noble at it's peak did $5.5 Billion a year. Amazon is a $55 Billion company!)" All of these companies have taken an offline product and brought it online, making it ACCESSIBLE to everyone. WE ARE DOING EXACTLY THE SAME THING IN THE GREETING CARD BUSINESS. The greeting card industry will never be the same. Our leaders fully expect that we could take the greeting card business from a $7.5 billion industry to a $70 billion industry over the next 10 years. When will most of money be made . . . from 0 to $60 million (where our company is today), or from $60 million to billions.

Here's what a top earner is saying about the announcement:

Do you want to be part of that? Or your friends and family can chose who's customer they would like to be. It's a great time to earn some extra income for Christmas or to save time, energy, stress and money sending your Christmas cards out?
