Thank You Cards without the Postage!!

Hey girls,

So forever I've been wishing I were better at thank you cards for my guests. I almost ALWAYS send one to my hostess. You should ALWAYS ALWAYS do that. But sending to all of the guests gets daunting! Well welcome to 2012: the age of technology! I know email is not nearly as personal, but this is just too good to pass up. This morning I got the email with the tracking number from my latest show, and I decided on THIS fun project!

Punchbowl is an online ecard website. They have LOTS of really cute options and tons of ways to personalize it. Some of it is paid members only, but there are PLENTY of free options (I use free only). SO today I sent an ecard to my hostess thanking her, and then one to each of her guests! Some of them got a general note (I resend the same card, just changing the name), and others got something specific. One of the girls plans to host a show in September, so I mentioned something about that in hers. One of the girls wants to come to another show, so I mentioned a friend's upcoming show.

For the guests, I also included how much free jewelry the hostess got. :) You can send these in bulk, but I chose to send one at a time for the sake of being able to personalize them a little bit more.

Here's what the steps look like:

First you choose your design. There are a TON of cute options!

Then you add to the inside. You can write on both sides
and can change the font, size, color, alignment, etc.

Then you can change the inside of your envelope, the rubber stamper
and even the postage!!!

Here's an example to a guest (I didn't realize until AFTER I sent this first one that there are typos! No worries, I changed it):

The front

The inside. I love the font options!

The envelope. I changed the inside to match the stamp :)

This is SO much faster and CHEAPER than sending cards in the mail, yet it gives your customers another way to remember you. This would be a great option for 60-day check ups, if you're having a hard time with that, or even reminder emails for different aspects of hostess coaching!
