Looking for a great way to stay in touch with family, friends and business contacts? Want to show appreciation easily and quick? Send Out Cards is what I use!

The retail packages are:

• $9.80 Retail Subscription for 20 points which is about 10 greeting cards. This option gets you a greeting card for about a $1.
  
• The second option is a $31/month preferred customer option. It gets you a standard two-panel greeting for $.62 per card (which is wholesale cost). As a preferred customer you end up getting 20-30 cards and 4 or 5 gifts a month for $31. Postage is not included in these packages, this is just for access to the system and to design and send your own custom greeting cards and gifts. The gifts are great for realtors, mortgage lenders, car dealerships, etc. to send a Thank you card and attach a basket, or box of brownies or cookies.

Take a look at the system and give it try for a month or two and let me know if it makes you a better card sender.  You can stop at any time. 

if you are like me and many other online business owners, you are always looking for ways to get your business noticed. We build profiles on social media sites, join forums, write blog posts and articles, and many other things to get noticed online.

I just recently stumbled on another way to get my brand noticed and drive traffic back to my website. It’s called follr.com and it is an online social media business card platform.

I actually found it through a link at Ezine Articles. I was pleasantly surprised by what you can accomplish through the free account. Of course, there is a paid premium version if you want more features. But for me the free version is just fine for now.

Go make one for yourself and share the link with us in the comment section below.

I can’t wait to take a look at yours and then share it with my online friends!

They will make a day for just about anything! I haven’t checked my Send Out Cards system to see if there is a greeting card for this special day, but I will. hehe

If I could get a different name what would I choose? I’ve always liked Alexandria, I don’t know why really. I don’t anyone with that name personally, but I’ve always liked it.

Lots of my online friends know me as “avirtualbiz” that’s my username on most of my social media profiles. So I guess in a way, I have already gotten a different name. In order to build up my brand name, I wanted people to know my business, A Virtual Business Solution, through my username of avirtualbiz.

What about you? Do you have a brand name? If not, today’s a good day to get one and starting marketing it for your business.

And if you just hate your birth name, go ahead…change it. Today’s the day!

Hugs & Kisses,

Alexandria (for today)

Do you love to network, but don’t have time to follow-up? You’re not alone. The majority of networkers love to mix and mingle with potential new clients at various events, but when they get back to their office, they toss those valuable business cards in a drawer and plan to follow up tomorrow. For most busy professionals, tomorrow brings its own new projects and before you know it, several weeks or even months have gone by with no follow up. Hundreds, or maybe thousands, of dollars in potential revenue has been laying in your top desk drawer!

We have the solution to keep you on top of your follow-up and make you a leader in business prospecting. Our Prospect Follow-up Service – Cards to Cash, provides a quick turnaround to those new business acquaintances and presents a professional image of your business.

Our package offers:

• Each business card scanned into a working database
• The design of a real Follow-up card with your logo or business card imprinted on the inside flap
• The card is mailed to the new prospect on your behalf
• One telephone call is attempted to the new prospect to set an appointment
• Business cards and database file will be mailed back to you for future reference
  

And the best part is that this service is very affordable, around the cost of a nice cup of coffee.

Are there business cards right now laying in your top desk drawer? Have you been too busy to follow-up with the contacts you made at the last Tradeshow? Contact us and we will get your name back in front of these potential new clients. Visit our website at www.avirtualbiz.com, or email to info@avirtualbiz.com.

As a virtual professional, I am very thankful that I can get up every morning and make the long trip down the hall to my office…and I don’t spend a dime in gas!! When I first started this business gas was a mere $2.50 per gallon, which was bad enough, but to think of the millions of people whose job requires that regular morning fill up…I’m sorry.

Working as a virtual assistant or in some other type of home-based business is just one of the ways to relieve the pressure of today’s high gas prices. Another one is the ability to purchase items online. You can buy just about anything online, even greeting cards.

I have found an incredible system called . I log into my account, select the card I want, write my heartfelt text to the person I’m sending it to, upload my personal signature and click send. Taking maybe 5 minutes and no gas, out of my day! I can even upload photos, attach gift cards to places like Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble, and Starbucks, or I can attach a wonderful basket of gourmet treats, including a box of mouth-watering brownies! It’s a one-stop shop!

I have found that I use Send Out Cards for my business to follow-up on leads, remind potential clients that I’m available to assist them and to thank my current clients for their trust in me and my business. I also use it to send cards to family and friends for birthdays, anniversarys, holidays and when someone is under the weather.

You know, most people have a kind heart and would send a card if they could remember to pick it up the next time they went shopping. With Send Out Cards, you can go shopping anytime; day or night and you have more than 10,000 cards to select from, right at your fingertips.

I love it so much, I’ll give you two free cards to send to anyone you wish. Just click here Send Out Cards and see what you think. And you don’t even have to start your car.
