    I personally use this product to keep up with customers, accounts, friends and family. Customers receive a personally written card that can be designed from scratch or choose from over 10,000 premade cards. Once you pick the card, sendoutcards then prints the card (with your message) the stuff it in the envelop, stamps it, and sends it to your customer. I can send 100's of individually addressed cards within minutes. This keeps my customers coming back, and really shows my appreciation of their business.
