To read whyI think this is the best marketing tool I have ever used, read on...
The best way to promote yourself is to be visible to your existing network. This means keeping in touch, and keeping in front of, those who already know you.
E-mail has become a way of life, but it isn't always the best way to stand out. In-person meetings are ideal for networking and sharing information and personal telephone follow up should be a priority in any business. But what's the next best way to stay in touch and stand out? It's not e-mail. It's an "old fashioned" card sent through the US mail.
But now there's a way to send customized, quality greeting cards to prospects and contacts in less than a minute, right from your desk at the moment you are thinking of it. Compare that with driving to the store, taking time to select a card, standing on line to pay $3.00 and finding a stamp and driving to the post office to mail it, or even printing hundreds of your own customized cards and spending hours to address, stuff, stamp and mail them. This system allows you to personalize each card with your handwriting, signature, logo or photo and have them sent through the mail with a real stamp for you. You will not only increase business, you will save money. Sending a postcard can cost as little as $.31 plus postage for one card. A regular greeting card can cost as little as $.62. With this system you can also send gifts, ideal for the holiday season. It is a win/win.
In my 18 years of owning my business, I have never found an easier, more cost-effective way to stay in front of my business contacts. And the response is amazing. No one expects a card in the mail, that's why it works. Try it free on me. visit www.sendoutcards.com/risa and see for yourself how easy it is to use this system.
NO GIMMICKS, THIS IS JUST GOOD, COST EFFECTIVE, OLD-FASHIONED RELATIONSHIP MARKETING. THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY ANYONE WOULDN'T WANT TO ADD SEND OUT CARDS TO THEIR MARKETING TOOL BOX.

GMG Public Relations also offers three economical programs to put your business in the spotlight.
1) GMG PR Alert Program:Receive monthly, weekly, even daily inquiries from reporters and producers nationwide working on stories in your industry.
On a daily basis we receive hundreds of queries from reporters and producers working on every kind of story imaginable. Our clients are alerted immediately to opportunities they can benefit from;as a result we have had clients featured in stories in national publications including Fortune, USA Weekend and USA Today and numerous trade, local and regional publications as well as stories for the Associated Press.
We are now offering our PR Alert Program to companies who are not currently on monthly retainer.
The PR Alert Program is a six month commitment at a cost of $250/month. While there is no way to know how many queries might be appropriate for those who sign up for the program, on average our clients are submitted for 12 – 20 queries during a six month time period. Some industries, such as medicine, health care, and consumer products, typically receive more queries than others.
For the monthly fee you will receive each query via e-mail and you will need to respond directly to the reporter. Please note that not all reporters respond to all e-mails they receive about a particular story idea. The faster your respond and the more targeted (and brief) your response is, the more you increase your chances of being contacted and included in the article or on-air story.
Three months is due and payable up front and the second amount will be invoiced during the third month. The total due up front for the first level program is $750 and the balance of $750 will be due and payable by the first day of the fourth month.
The GMG PR Alert Program really works. As an example, one of our clients was recently featured in USA Weekend which reaches 23 million households nationwide as a result of us responding immediately to a query from a reporter. Had the clientpurchasedthe same space as an ad the cost would have been approximately $150,000. Our client who was featured in Fortune thanks to responding to a reporter’s query was highlighted in a full page article that reached nearly 1,000,000 subscribers. If she purchased the space she would have paid over $60,000 for it.
The queries include top level media such as The Today Show, The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Oprah and many, many others.
2) The GMG PR "Promote as you Go" Program!
