I just finished mailing the latest batch of brain-teaser cards. It was a great way to take a break from the seriousness of the workday and the latest Covid updates.
I have fun doing it because I get to be creative and help people have some.

Go here…Brain-Teasers
Hey, I thought I would do a quick update. I just sent some more brain-teaser cards in the mail.
Before you ask…YES Real cards that go in a real mailbox!
I’m tired of the usual mail I get and thought I would create something fun for people to get in the mail.
I’ve realized I’m a little old fashioned because of some things that I have experienced over the last year or so. I get messages and chats with videos in them and I don’t always open them or finish them. I like reading more than watching because it gives me time to think about the message.
I would rather read a book than watch television.
I would rather read an email or posting than watch a video.
An interesting thing about email I’ve noticed is that if it doesn’t capture my attention by telling me a story it goes to the bottom of the pile.
Something else I’ve noticed is that at work my boss and I communicate by email several times a day. They are very short email.
Well I went a little off topic there…
If want some brain-teasers delivered to your physical mailbox let me know.
10 Letters to Success…
I like direct mail. I don’t mean flyers or brochures or coupons or booklets or any of those other things that we find in our mailbox every day. I mean letters; letters sent to me that have my name on them. I write letters every month and I am going to kick it up a notch for the rest of June. I am going to write 10 letters a day from June 9th until June 30th. My goal is to have my business booming by the end of June. What does that mean? It means I will have more clients and referral partners.
There are 22 days left in the month. At 10 letters a day that means 220 letters. Just the postage alone will be $187.00!
Does that sound expensive? I have a system that I use so that my total cost for stationary, envelopes and stamps will only be $127.00. (I have already sent 20 letters using this system this month and no matter how many letters I send my cost will not change.)
Does that sound time consuming? Think about it sitting down and writing 10 letters, printing the letters, stuffing them in an envelope, printing the address labels, putting the address labels on the envelopes, putting the stamp on the envelope and getting the letters to the mail box. It sounds like it would take a couple of hours. The system I use will do all that for me. I just have to write the letters, pick who I am sending it to and click a button and woosh… the letter will be on it’s way.
Starting June 18th I will share the results of my letter campaign. Why June 18th? I have to allow time to get the letters delivered.
How will I measure the results? I will tell every person I write that I will call them on a certain at a certain time.
What is my goal for this mail campaign? To get permission to meet them for a coffee and a short conversation to show them my system either in person or on a Zoom call.
Are you up for a challenge?
Sit down with me, look at my system and give it a try. If you don’t like what you see, no problem.
When was the last time you received a personal letter in the mail?
How did it make you feel?
When was the last time you sent a letter or card?
Sadly the world has jumped on board with email, texting, instant messaging and abandoned snail mail.
Do remember the pleasure of going to the mail box and getting something besides bills and flyers?
I have discovered that I enjoy writing letters. It is probably one of the nicest things I do for myself and other people. I am sad to admit that I didn’t do it often enough in the past. I can change that now.
I have been using a system for a few years that lets me send real cards in the mail. I get the pleasure of writing the card and knowing that the person I’m sending it to is getting a card in the mail. I didn’t use it as much as I wanted because I was limited by how much I had in my account every month. At the end of April that all changed! I can now send as many cards as I want for $97.00(USD) a month. If I only send one card a day that works out to $3.23(USD) per month based on 30 days. Now the fun part… if I send 2 cards a day it is only $1.62(USD). Every time I use the system I reduce my cost per card. AND THOSE PRICES INCLUDE POSTAGE! It is the best value I have seen for sending cards in the mail.
What a great way for everybody to be nice to people!
Send thank you cards to customers and clients.
Send thank you cards to referral partners.
Send nice to meet you cards.
Send birthday cards.
Send cards just to say hello.
Send cards to people you want to reconnect with.
Send get well cards.
Send cards just because you can.
And it gets even better…I sent in a sample of my handwriting to the company and now when I send a card I can choose my own handwriting as a font!
All this from an app on your phone.
I love this system so much that I promote it to business people as a great marketing tool and help other people get into the business themselves.
It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s affordable.
