USA Today recently published a story on how Direct Sales Companies are finding growth in these economic times. Companies like Avon, Mary Kay and Send Out Cards have found dramatic increases in representatives, i.e. business builders over the past year.
There are approximately 15 million direct sellers in the United States alone; these are independent contractors who sell goods or services primarily through parties, demonstrations in someone’s home and one-on-one interactions. In 2007, the most recent year available, the sales industry generated $30.8 billion in United States sales, according to the Direct Selling Association.
This is great news if you are looking to get involved with Send Out Cards or any other Multi-Level Marketing company. Most offer a low investment to get started. Send Out Cards is no different, you can be up and running within 5 minutes for a minimal start up cost. If you consider the time and money that would be involved in the research and development of starting your own business, getting involved in a Direct Selling Company is defiantly the way to go.
SendOutCards.com abides by the laws set up by the Federal Trade Commission so we distributors are not allowed to disclose income. The fact is each and every distributor has unlimited potential to make more than there sponsor. So even it we were allowed to disclose our income it will vary from distributor to distributor.
You may be thinking I don’t send that many cards to get involved in the business opportunity. What happens to most, me included, is that once you see the system from the inside and start sending a few cards and get a response from the recipients you will be a cards sender each and every day – it’s addicting. Once you start doing that you are naturally inclined to show the business to others with great enthusiasm.
Other Comment Objections To Getting Started With Send Out Cards
Do I have to pay a monthly fee?
There is no monthly fee. You may pay for cards and gifts each month to qualify for your $31 per month volume requirement. As far as I know most companies have a volume requirement that exceeds $200 per month. I think we have the lowest in the industry and its not a fee, its a optional monthly purchase that gets you points and stamps that you can send out. There is no contract and your points roll over if you don’t use them. You can use them all during the Holidays. To qualify for your residuals and your bonuses, your personal volume must be at least $30.
What if Hallmark Greeting Cards starts doing the same thing?
I have heard that they have actually tried to offer the same service with no success. The secret to SendOutCards.com being a success is the passionate people representing the company. Distributors like me TRAIN their customers and business partners how easy it is to use the system.
Is there currently any competition?
There is really no competition. I have heard that one so called online greeting card company charges over $6,000 to get started and distributors have to print and mail each card manually. Because Send Out Cards is a network marketing company, product is offered at 1/5 the price and distributors get paid great money to grow a customer base and a team of business builders. Once someone sends a card they quickly see that SendOutCards.com is only player in the online greeting card arena.

As a business owner, husband and father of three the old saying “Time is Money” could not be more relevant for my fast pasted life. Saving time often out weighs saving money, but when I can save time and money it’s a win win situation that makes my day.
I typically send out over 200 holiday cards to my clients and business associates, and around 40 or 50 to family and friends. Before I was turned on to Send Out Cards I really never enjoyed the daunting task of sending out holiday cards. Now I start thinking about my holiday cards in September and am more excited this year than last year, even though I’ve been using Send Out Cards for two years now.
You know the drill; you go to the store and pick out a box of cards you then start filling them out one by one. If you are like me you put it off and put it off, chipping away doing a few cards here and there - the licking the stamping seems to never end. With any luck you’ll have them all done and in the mail just in time to hit the recipients mail boxes just before the holiday.
Now I simply select my holiday cards from the database of over 15,000 or when it comes to my family cards I upload a picture of the girls and create a custom holiday card. I personalize the message, add some color or a cool font (or even my own handwriting font) insert my signature and choose who gets what card from my uploaded database. Then I tell the system what day I want my cards to go out and that’s it – Send Out Cards will print my cards, stuff them in envelopes, address them, put a “REAL” stamp on them and pop them in the mail via the postal service.
For as little as $0.62 a card, plus postage I have just saved a bunch of money and a ton of time…no bah humbug for me ever again when it comes to sending out my holiday cards.
Happy Card Sending!

The days of looking down on Direct Selling companies has gone. Direct selling is a cost effective way for companies to distribute their goods and services other than using a fixed retail (brick and mortar) location. Sales are made through party plans, one to one demonstrations, and other personal contact arrangements, i.e. word or mouth. A text book definition is: “The direct personal presentation, demonstration, and sale of products and services to consumers, usually in their homes or at their jobs.
