How is Be Thoughtful Now different?

We are helping people to send a heartfelt paper card to those they care about!

We touch lives through a message that is written in your own handwriting in a single card. Our company is the best individual heartfelt card-sending mechanism in the world.

With this tool, we teach people how to become true card senders. We help people stay connected. We also supply the greatest marketing tool in the world to businesses. Our company does not do impersonal bulk mailings. Our cards are created with individual people in mind. Personal greeting cards get opened first and are read thoroughly. Other mail can stack up for days, weeks, months or even years before it is opened.

People crave the feeling of being appreciated. If you want your friend, family member or associate to feel good, simply act on your prompting and express yourself to them in a card. If you want your employees, customers or clients to develop an ongoing relationship with you, act on your promptings and express yourself to them in a card. This is what true card sending is all about and we do it better than anyone else.

We offer a campaign feature that allows you to send a card to a whole list of people, with the ability to mail merge the name of the recipient and personalize each card before it is mailed. This is a great tool, as long as you express yourself and make a connection with the people you are sending cards to.

We also provide a Contact Manager so you can create lists and capture key information about the people in your life. We don't call this a "database." We call it a "list of people" -- people with hopes, goals and dreams...people with birthdays, family members and special interests. If you already maintain a list of names in another contact management program, such as ACT!, Outlook, or Excel, you can even import those names into our system so you don't have to re-type them.

People refer business and do business with people they know, like, trust...and REMEMBER. Here are just a few examples of ways in which you can use the campaign feature to keep in touch with those you care about...

• BRIDAL COUPLE: Create one thank you card to send to everyone who gave you a wedding gift. Before the cards are printed, customize each thank you card by describing the gift and adding any additional comments. For example: "It meant so much to us that you traveled all the way across the country to be at our wedding."

• LAW OFFICE: Send a holiday card to all of your clients with your personal message inside. Before the cards are printed, add a sentence to each individual card to customize it to the recipient.

• REAL ESTATE AGENT: Send a card a month to your clients, prospects and referral partners. Each card has a theme for the month, and personal comments can be added to any card to customize it to select individuals.

• SALES & SERVICE PROFESSIONALS: Send unexpected cards throughout the year to people you want to keep in touch with -- New Year's Day, Valentines, St. Patrick's Day (luck of the Irish), Independence Day, summer vacation, Thanksgiving, holiday cards, birthdays, anniversaries (anniversary for starting their work with you, taking out a policy, etc.), to announce new products or special promotions, etc.

• EMPLOYERS/SUPERVISORS: Send a note of appreciation to your employees after you've all pushed hard to get a new product launched. A little appreciation builds a lot of loyalty and commitment.

Tips to ensure that your mail gets read...

• Send a REAL card in the mail. E-cards are cute, but fleeting.  E-mail is so easy that it’s not really special anymore.  And with Spam filters, so many E-cards are getting deleted before they are read. Paper greeting cards show the recipient you took the time to select and purchase a card just for them.

• Include a heart-felt handwritten personal message. Don’t just settle for the printed message in the card.  Your own words in your own handwriting will have a much greater impact than simply signing your name under the pre-printed message. With our system, you can use your own handwriting font and signature to create your personal message.

• Send unexpected cards at unexpected times. Don’t wait for birthdays or holidays when people expect to receive cards. Watch the response you receive when you send a friend, loved one, customer or client a “just because” card with a personal message of appreciation. Relationships bond and grow when people know that you are thinking of them.

• Include a meaningful photo in your cards.  As they say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” People very rarely get rid of a card with a picture in it. They often proudly display it in a prominent place for quite awhile, thus building top-of-mind awareness. Our system makes it easy to upload a photo that gets printed as part of the card.

Now you can create a card from the comfort of your desk.

We'll print, stuff, seal, address, stamp, and mail it for you.
