  • How many of your prospects have high-speed Internet connections?
  • How many of those prospects have Flash enabled in their web browsers?
  • How many of them will patiently wait for your card to load?

If these answers leave you feeling glum, try answering these questions:

  • Do your prospects have a mailing address?
  • Have they given you permission to “mail stuff” to them?
  • Can you lick an envelope?

If these answers are more encouraging, let your next campaign focus on physical cards.
If you hate licking envelopes, here’s how to protect your tongue and even save some time:

    Hey Mitch,

    Can I just tell you my blood pressure went up when I saw that “waiting” bar?? Truly a picture is worth 1000 words, LOL!

    Another challenge of e-cards is that they sometimes carry viruses or open you up to spamming. Snail mail sounds great, and I know you have a great system to save yourself from all that nasty envelope glue!

    Oh and I like your new title :)

    Hi Jessica,

    The best thing about my “glue-4-U” system is that it encourages creativity.
    If I’m in a hurry, I have a nice library of pre-made cards, but I still can write what I want on the inside!

    Cheers,

    Mitch
