I almost never sent cards before and when I did they were regularly late. It wasn't that I did not try to. I would go to one or two stores. finding a card that was close to what I wanted to say. But sometimes I would get home and find I did not have any stamps. By the time I remembered, it was too late. Thanks to a friend, I found a straightforward solution, along with a very unexpected benefit as well. This can help you too.
One day, I received a beautiful holiday greeting card in the mail from a friend. The front of the card, had a photo photo of her family. The inside had a warm greeting that was her handwriting. I immediately called her up to thank her for the beautiful card.
After I told my friend how much receiving the card that day made me feel, she confessed how easy it genuinely was to create the card. That it only took her a join of minutes. She completed from the relax of her home, without ever touching the card. But was in her handwriting.
She told me she was using an online greeting card service. I realized that sending greeting cards was the solution I was finding for. Do you have a drawer full of cards that you fully intended to mail out, but for discrete reasons, never did? Well I did.
So instead of adding to the range of cards that I had, I started sending online greeting cards whenever I conception of person who would need one. What I did not know at the time was how much that decision would heighten my relationships with other people.
One of the first greeting cards that I sent out was to my mother-in-law. The card was just a straightforward card, with a heartfelt message letting her know how much I cared about her. I genuinely conception she knew how much she meant to me. I conception she would like the surprise since I rarely got the cards I purchased in the mail to her.
Actually, I was the one who received the surprise.
She called me as soon as she received the card. She was in tears. She called me to thank me for the card. She told me she knew that I cared about her, but that she genuinely did not understand how much until she read the card.
I genuinely was stunned!
I tried to remember what I said in the card that would make her react the way she did.
So as soon as I hung up the phone, I speedily looked up the card I sent to see what I wrote. The card was just a straightforward card, with a heartfelt message letting her know how much I cared.
It wasn't so much what I said, but that she knew they were my words, in my handwriting, which she conception I took the time to shop for, hand write, stamp the envelope and genuinely get it in the mail!
Since that day, our relationship has continued to improve.
Unknowingly I found a way to heighten and enlarge my relationships with other people.
The real value of sending out greeting cards is not the card itself. It is how you make population feel. population love to feel appreciated. Valued. Cared for. Don't you?
Since then, I have sent out hundreds of cards. I probably get calls on most of the cards that I mail out.
I sent out invitations for my sister-in-laws baby shower. My brother received calls from just about everyone who received the card because they genuinely enjoyed finding her with child, on the cover. With a slight caption from the baby. My family and friends have experienced similar results as well.
You can have population calling you to thank you for the card you sent too.
