		<description>Thanks for the feedback Tara!  You&#039;re absolutely right about using personal notes to set yourself apart.  While I&#039;m not a fan of the SendOutCards system (I think it&#039;s great, I just prefer to hand-write my own notes) I agree that whatever method works for you is fine.  It&#039;s keeping in touch that&#039;s most important! :)</description>

		<description>Great message, Sydni. I whole-heartedly agree. Making personal contact through the mail is a great way to set yourself apart from other contacts the recipient might have. Not only that, the sense of appreciation the recipient feels for getting something other than junk in the mail is a wonderful feeling, and it all reflects back on you, the sender. 

I personally have chosen to use SendOutCards to handle this aspect of my business. There are over 14,000 cards available online for me to choose from, and the ability to create my own cards by uploading pictures, logos, and other branded materials. I then can add my note using a variety of fonts, including my own handwriting. The card is then printed, stuffed, stamped and mailed for me, and all for less than a typical greeting card costs.

If anyone&#039;s interested in more information, they can visit: http://www.sendoutcards.com/alewebsocial.

Regardless of how you implement Sydni&#039;s recommendations, the important thing is to do it. Your clients will value you more when you show them how much you appreciate them!</description>
