Custom Made Birthday Card

Here is a Birthday card that I sent to my 4 year old nephew, Noah. He lives on farm in regional N.S.W, The Rock.  This picture was taken a little over a year ago when we were playing in the shearing shed. The door that Noah is coming through is where the sheep go once they have been sheared.

We had lots of fun playing that day and Noah would not have seen this photo yet…I am sure he will get a nice surprise when he opens it. The birthday image on the inside of the card I grabbed from Clip Art for the inside of the card. Hector Meter is something that I call Noah and he always giggles madly when I do and no doubt he will get a kick out of this one.

A hector meter is some kind of a farming tool and I call Noah Hector Meter Pumpkin Eater.

Text Inside of Card

Dear Noah,

Auntie Tal and I would like to wish you a very Happy Birthday!

It is amazing how much you have grown in just one year!

We really had a good time with you in Canberra the other week and even though you weren’t feeling the best you soldiered on!

Good on you Noahie, you are growing into a superstar!

We hope you had a great day and got to eat as much cake as you wanted (which would have been a lot knowing you).

Lots of love,
Uncle Stevie and Auntie Tal

Business Thank You Cards and Offering Assistance

I find that sending a Thank You Card when someone makes a purchase from me is an excellent place to start a long lasting customer relationship.  This is of course using the example of Internet marketing where people purchase products directly from my websites. Once the order is taken I will then have the customers mailing details and so it is very easy to add them to my data-base and send them a thank you card and follow up with them on a consistent basis.

With my Internet marketing business, the initial sale of a product is sometimes the very beginning of a process and there are other products and services that the customer most likely will be interested in. Offering your help to people will naturally lead to more satisfied customers and more sales for you.

Here is an example of a card that I send out to someone after they have purchased an info product that I sell:

Card Front

I just love this picture and it pretty much sums up the way people feel when the are entering into a new venture where they are faced with a lot of new information. This image is quite powerful; there are the waves in the background that are threatening to overwhelm and there is that star fish there willing to help the other one out (which is you of course).  Apart from the fact that this is a powerful image, it is just a fun picture.  This is a picture that I got from iStock and then simply made this card.

I write a personalised message offering my customer support and assistance and then on the inside of the card at the bottom there is all of my contact details, my image and the same picture slightly faded behind all of that. This makes a wonderful first impression.

Card Inside Flap

I absolutely love this card and so do my customers. Many of them just want to talk with me so they can find out how I made such a cool card.  You will also see that I am branding my self as being Australian and also associating myself with the author of the Info-product that I have sold.  This is a terrific first contact card that brings killer results and it took me about 15 minutes to make and costs me all of $1.34 US dollars to send this in an envelope with a first class stamp.  My customer will get this within 3-5 days of making their purchase.

I have a whole series of follow up cards that I send out which are all designed to have my customers coming to me and asking for more information. This way I am getting my marketing to bring the most qualified customers to me so that I can best leverage my time… which is a wonderful thing.
