Watch Out! A New Couponer on the Loose!

Watch out everyone, there’s a new couponer on the web…ME!

Now, before you start to roll your eyes, let me explain.  :)

I’m not going to be that annoying couponer at the grocery store that takes an hour to check out and has two carts of stuff. No thanks, that kind of extreme couponing is NOT for me. I don’t have the time to wait in line that long and I certainly don’t have the storage space.

I used to clip coupons all the time when I was younger, still living at home and going to college.  Every Sunday I would pull out all the coupons I needed and planned my shopping trip.  Somehow the more money I made after I graduated college, the less I couponed.  Now I hardly ever use coupons at all, when I really should.   The only ones I ever really used were for diapers and formula.  But both my kids have been on plain milk for more than a year and I only have one in diapers now.

So for the last few weeks, I’ve been going through the newspapers clipping coupons.   I only clip coupons for the brands and items I already buy.  I’ve been trying to organize them in a plastic folder with tabs, but it hasn’t worked out so well.  So I took a big leap and purchased a coupon organizer.  It should have already been here, but I haven’t received it yet.  The waiting is killing me!

But anyway, I will be sharing the resources and great deals I find.   I shop a lot online too so I have some great websites to share.

Some of you might be wondering why I’ve started couponing again.  I wish I could tell you it was to lower our grocery bill or save money for a new car or to send the girls to ballet classes.

But I can’t…

The real truth I’m starting couponing again is…I WANT AN iPAD!!!!  Well truth be told I haven’t decided on the iPad or another tablet but nonetheless, that’s what I want to save my money for.

So, there it is.  My story as a new couponer.

Oh, and my first “deal” I’ll share with you is an online website to save you lots of money.

One of my current favorites is 1SaleADay.com.  They have amazing daily specials and every once in a while they have a 24 hour sell off where they post a new deal every 30 minutes.  I got about 5 Christmas gifts last week when they had one of these sales.   You can save big money, up to 90% off on all sorts of things.  They take Paypal too which is great since I use that like a savings account!

Can’t wait to share some of my other shopping (and saving) secrets with you!  If you have your own, please post them below.  I LOVE to hear about new deals!!!

Video: Why Busy Moms Need SendOutCards

Every mom is a busy mom.

Whether you work at home or outside the home, or you are a stay at home mom…life gets crazy! There are hardly enough hours in the day to get things done, let alone eat sometimes!

One of our “challenges” is keeping up with family birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. Then there’s those times when you want to send someone a greeting card or a little gift “just because” you’re thinking about them.

But who has time to go shopping? Besides that, who WANTS to go shopping with the kids.

Yeah, neither do I!

But there is a solution to this problem. There’s no more spending $4 or more on a greeting card and no more going to the store to pick a card, then going to buy stamps. SendOutCards is the perfect solution to this problem. Simply pick a card from over 15,000 options or create a unique card with the kids photos, personalize it online and enter the recipients address. SendOutCards will print it, put it in a real envelope and mail it…for just $.98. That’s 75% off a greeting card from the store! And, you can even send a gift if you need to!

Please watch this 3 minute video to see how SendOutCards can help busy moms everywhere save time, money and their sanity! Then visit my website at www.BuyCardsAndGifts.com to find out how you can get started. I look forward to helping moms everywhere!

P.S. Even if you don’t need the service yourself, but know someone who could benefit from SendOutCards, please send them the link to this post or give them my contact information. I’d be happy to help them AND send you a nice thank you gift for the referral!

Mobile Marketing Business Opportunity for WAHMs

 

 

Let’s face it – people are addicted to their phones.

You see people “playing” with their phones everywhere.  At the doctor’s office, in line at the bank, at the park, in the movie theater…the list goes on and on.  Those that are on their phone the most have internet access, so they are looking up everything from directions to the nearest drug store to drop off a prescription.

One of the “cool” things about mobile marketing is that it reaches the customer instantly and they can check out a business website before they even step in to the store.  Many more people are educating themselves before doing business with someone to see what their reputation is.  The fact of the matter is though, when people are using the internet on their smart phones, they are really only looking at the first two pages of Google (or other search engines).  In this fast paced immediate gratification world we live in, there’s no time to search through all the choices.

The trouble is, it can be somewhat “difficult” to get on the first page of Google (or other search engines) for free.  Organic search as it is called, is the natural listings that come up when you type in a keyword or phrase.  There are of course paid advertisements but they are costly and it’s hard to recoup those costs depending on the business.

Now more than ever,  local businesses are realizing the importance of the internet.  Whether they have a website or not, they realize that their old ad in the Yellow Pages isn’t working any more.  Honestly, every year when they bring me a book I tell them to take it back – I don’t need it.  Everything I need or want is online.  And in my opinion, if they aren’t online then it makes me wonder how legitimate they are.  While that may be a harsh judgement, I guarantee I’m not the only one that thinks that way.

Many business WANT to have an online presence, but they have no idea HOW.

As an internet marketing virtual assistant, I help my clients build their business online.  However, not all potential clients are internet marketing savvy – some need to take small steps at a time.

Well, there is a small step they can take that can have huge results!

And now, there is a perfect home business opportunity for moms to start their own business and be work at home moms in this market!

Google has released almost 50,000,000 active websites that are already listed – and they are giving them away.  This is the biggest thing Google has ever done.

Please watch this quick video ASAP and start claiming these FREE, pre-listed, pre-SEO’d websites now.   You can literally build your own work at home business from the ground up by offering this service to clients.

Plus, this video shows you how to make a quick $500 a pop by claiming them for your friends and neighbors.

Now let’s be clear here:  this is NOT a get rich quick scheme…there’s no such thing.  You will have to put in the work to starting your own business, finding clients and doing the work.  However, this program can show you how do it quickly, so you are up and running within a couple of days.  How quickly you become successful is really up to you.

Are you really ready to be a work at home mom?

30 Days of Faves: How to Create a Custom Picture Card in SendOutCards

 

Hey everyone!  Welcome to Day 17 of the 30 Days of Faves Blog Party from Lynsey Jones, The Party Plan Coach.  Today I have created a quick video to show you how easy it is to create a custom card with the SendOutCards system.

Before you watch the video, I just wanted to mention that you can create a custom card with ANY JPEG photo, logo or artwork you have.  So if you have created a special collage in Photoshop, Picnik or other photo editor, you create a custom card.  The photo collage I demo in the video was actually created with Stampin’ Up’s My Digital Studio software.

Enjoy the video!  If you have any questions, please post them below so I can answer them.  If you’re ready to give the SendOutCards system a try, please contact me for a free gift account.

30 Days of Faves: How to Send a Card

 

It’s Day 16 of the 30 Days of Faves Blog Party sponsored by Lynsey Jones, the Party Plan Coach! And I’m back with a video!

I actually recorded this more than a week ago, but had to stop production while I was working on a project for a client.  I need a faster computer already so I can multi-task while rendering video! (So just ignore the part where I say, “Welcome to Day 8!”)

Anyway, this is a quick 2 minute video that demonstrates how easy it is to create a card using the SendOutCards system.  If you have any questions after you watch the video, please post them below.  If you’re ready to try the system on your own, please fill out this form so I can create a gift account for you!

 

30 Days of Faves: SendOutCards Update Regarding Canada’s Postal Lockout


It’s Day 15 of the 30 Days of Faves Blog Party sponsored by Lynsey Jones, the Party Plan Coach! Today I want to post a timely update regarding the postal lockout in Canada.  If you’re unfamiliar with the lockout, you can read more about it here.

But, in a nutshell, the postal workers in Canada have gone on strike and the postal system has shut down.  That means no mail is being sent to or from Canada.  Now while SendOutCards cannot send cards and gifts to Canada, SendOutCards users in Canada can still send cards and gifts to friends and relatives in other countries.

The reason they can still send cards and gifts to the United States (for example) is because the cards and printed and mailed from our distribution center in Utah.  So customers in Canada can still log into their account, personalize a card and gift and mail it anywhere in the world (except Canada of course.)

So the ease of this system, plus the convenience is really highlighted in this drastic example because of how SendOutCards works.

30 Days of Faves: SendOutCards’ Audiobook Selection

Hi everyone and welcome to Day 14 of the 30 Days of Faves Blog Party hosted by Lynsey Jones!  I can’t believe this party is almost half over.  My how time flies when you’re having fun!

So first off, I have to apologize for not doing more videos.  I have been rendering videos for a client all week and I found out that I can’t record, render and upload all at the same time.  So as soon as I’m done with the project, I will go back to doing videos because I have lots to show you!

But today I’d like to highlight the 6 Audiobooks available in the SendOutCards Gift section.

All of these books would make a great addition to your library and make great motivational gifts for co-workers or your downline!  The 3 that I recommend for the Party Plan Industry are:  Your First Seven Days, Appreciation Marketing and The One Minute Networker.  But honestly, I think everyone should own Promptings, by our CEO Kody Bateman.  While the book details how the company was founded, it’s really more about how SendOutCards is helping bring people together and spread a positive message in the world.  And who doesn’t need more of that?!

Audiobooks are great for summer travel since you can finish a book (or two) en route to your vacation spot or on your way to the grocery store.  It’s a great way to mulit-task and learn new things.

Have you ever tried an audiobook?  If yes, which one was it?  If not, why not?

30 Days of Faves: Using SendOutCards Gifts as Incentives

Welcome to Day 13 of the 30 Days of Faves Blog Party hosted by Lynsey Jones, the Party Plan Coach!

Even though we have already briefly reviewed our gift selection, I wanted to introduce an idea to you on how you can use the gifts within the SendOutCards system.  Of course you can send gifts to family and friends any time you want, but, what about using the gifts as an appreciation gift or incentive program?

There are many companies that spend a lot of time and money creating and implementing incentive programs.  I should know, that was part of my “job” in the corporate world.  We literally spent $1000′s each year on motivating our associates, giving them incentives for meeting sales goals and rewarding great performance.

With SendOutCards, you can create an incentive program, pick out the gifts and send a personalized card to each person that earns the gift.  Since there’s everything from gourmet food to gift cards, business books and office “supplies” you can pretty much find something for everyone.  And since everything is in one place online, you don’t have to spend time and gas going all around town to shop for the gifts.

You can send the winners the gifts to their house, or directly to the office.  Who doesn’t love to receive packages at work?

Some great industries for this are:

  • call centers
  • pharmaceutical representatives
  • direct sales (team leaders, directors, etc. can send prizes and gifts to their downline)
  • car dealerships

…and so many more!

What other industries do you think can benefit from an incentive program?  Post your ideas below!
