Marketing Service Provider Offers To Send Holiday Business Greetings For FREE

    /24-7PressRelease/ - GREENWOOD, IN, November 18, 2006 - Question: What can small business owners do at this hectic time of year to maintain "top of mind" awareness in an unobtrusive way?

Answer: Sending holiday greeting cards is an easy and affordable way for small business owners to acknowledge their business contacts. It's an excellent form of marketing since it serves to "remind" clients, vendors and prospects without appearing to be a sales come-on.

However, many entrepreneurs do not take advantage of this simple marketing medium. They believe, rightfully so, that a generic, cold, impersonal greeting card will do little for helping them stand out from the crowd.

At this time of year, small business owners are so busy, they just don't have the time to create, design, print and distribute a holiday greeting campaign that will be memorable and meaningful.

That's what brought Karen Scharf, of Modern Image Communications, to devise her new service - creating and sending holiday business greetings for small business owners, for Free.

"As a Marketing Coach, I always encourage my clients to send holiday greetings as a way of maintaining contact with business associates," Karen said. "I get all sorts of complaints about business greeting cards being expensive and cold and impersonal. So, this year, I've developed this free service as a little experiment."

Karen will send holiday greeting cards and a small gift to entrepreneurs' business acquaintances. For instance, plumbers can send free greetings to their printers, restaurant owners can send greetings to their dry cleaners.

"What makes this greeting unique and personal," Karen explains, "is the gift that is included. Each greeting will include a card and a presentation entitled "7 Sure Fire Ways To Explode Your Business In 2007".

"By sending this gift, you are telling your business contacts that you support them and you are confident in their guaranteed success. This is so much more personal and meaningful than a generic card with your name machine-stamped into it."

The service will be provided for free, but only for a limited time. Entrepreneurs who are interested in these greetings must submit their requests no later than December 1 to ensure on time delivery. They can send as many greetings as they'd like to as many business acquaintances as they'd like just by filling in an on-line form.
