Update on My Wife's Fine Art Business

Back on December 2nd I posted an entry on this blog about my wife Lori's plan to start a fine art business in 2006.

Her new company, called Spring Lake Studios was officially launched January 2nd.

Yesterday we sent a beautiful announcement card to her 117 warmest prospects
via SendOutCards. On the cover is a picture of a beautiful oil-on-canvas
landscape from a world-renowned local artist. Inside is an announcement
graphic along with a personalized message from Lori which ends with "I'll be
calling you soon to schedule an appointment."

The whole schmeer including uploading the custom graphics, printing, mailing
services and postage (at the new 39-cent rate) was $128.17. Let me repeat
that please: ONE HUNDRED TWENTY EIGHT DOLLARS AND SEVENTEEN CENTS!

You simply cannot find that kind of marketing value anywhere else I am aware
of.

In February we'll begin mailing monthly postcards with a series of paintings
on the front - along with the URL to her web site - which we hope people
will feel compelled to post on their refrigerator doors. Our goal is to make
each one "refrigerator worthy!" I'll let you know how we make out.

BTW: Those PERSONALIZED postcards, sent via FIRST CLASS MAIL will only cost
SEVENTY CENTS EACH including printing, mailing service and postage.

Being a customer or distributor of SendOutCards is meaningless if you're not sending out cards.

Start sending cards, distributing positive energy and enjoying the results.
