My Picture Plus 2.0 Addiction…

Well, I am sure some of you may be wondering where the heck I have been for  the last month!  My family just completed (or should I say, is STILL completing) a HUGE move to a new home.  So that is the main reason why I haven’t written a post in a month.

The other reason, I have to confess, is because I am TOTALLY addicted to sending cards with Send Out Cards’ newest product, Picture Plus 2.0!!!  Seriously, I can’t tear myself away from this thing.  Just when I thought SOC couldn’t get any better, they not only released this amazing new product, but also increased our compensation!!!  So needless to say, we have been dancing over here the last few weeks!

So here’s the rundown in case you have been living under a rock and haven’t seen all my Facebook posts:

On July 19th, SOC launched Picture Plus 2.0 – taking card editing to a whole new level!  You can now:

• SPAN your photo across the entire 2- or 3-panel card (my personal fav!)
• Rotate photos and text
• Layer photos on photos
• Add elements and templates
• Add TEXT to the front of a SOC catalog card (another fav!)
• Program the FRONT of a card with the recipient’s first name (GREAT for campaigns to multiple people)
• Add borders, captions, thought bubbles and voice bubbles (and rotate them!)

Here is an example of a two-panel birthday card I created with the new program:

As of July 1st, 2010, Send Out Cards had printed over 268,000 Picture Plus 2.0 cards on their I-Gen printers! That was just since the launch of the new product on June 19th!!!

People are going nuts over this product – this is all about celebrating the lives of those we care about now, by creating beautiful cards with photos and words.  The fact that we are able to create such a professional, high-quality product, from our own computer at our convenience, for .62/card, just BLOWS MY MIND!!! I have sent copies of these cards to myself, and I am astonished at how incredible they look.

If you are a business owner, the possibilities are endless! This new program adds so much pizzazz to your appreciation marketing campaigns, and your customers will NOT forget you if they receive one of these cards.  Send these creative, colorful, vibrant, and unique cards to your clients and watch your business soar! Take the time to appreciate their loyalty, and show them you value their business and their referrals.

Now, on to compensation. We get paid even more money for doing the same things we have always done! Now that is FUN!  Starting with a brand-new distributor – they earn more money right out of the gate. And with each rank advancement, you now earn more on coaching bonuses, as well as on your downline bonuses!  The income potential here is HUGE!  There are also commissions paid to you when your team upgrades to the new Picture Plus 2.0!  If you want more details on the compensation enhancements, let me know and I can direct you to that info.

SOC also created two brand-new web pages and a new Opportunity Video to share with others. As an Entrepreneur, you receive these two web pages FREE (most companies charge, on average, $25/month for these sites). You now have a Retail Storefront, which is valuable for those who want to send a card at a time, without signing up for an account. They can also send gifts on this page. Retail cards can be sent for $2.99 per card (including postage!!), and YES, you earn a commission on all cards and gifts sent from your retail site.

The new Opportunity Page you receive is where you direct those that are interested in learning about the income opportunity with SOC. This is also where they send a free card, and learn about the new account options.  This page is much cleaner, simpler, and a breeze to share with others.  The tools just got a lot simpler (was that even possible?) and you can start sharing it immediately after you get started!

With all of us becoming so addicted to this amazing new product, we started a Facebook page – check us out at Support Group for Picture Plusaholics!  What fun we are having sharing our ideas, our enthusiasm, and seeing great examples of how life is being celebrated through cards, gifts, and the written word. There are also some fantastic business communication examples on this page.

With the launch of the new products, the SOC staff never anticipated how much volume their site would receive – it was busier than their busiest day during Christmas 2009!  They installed 4 new servers and increased the bandwidth, and now things are smooth sailing!  So, for about a week, we put up with some slow speeds, and getting kicked off a time or two.  But like Kody B says, “first comes the pain, then the pleasure!”  Things are rockin’ and rollin’ now!

If you have questions about the new Picture Plus 2.0, feel free to contact me and I will answer them for you!

Now, it’s been 1 hour and 17 minutes since my last PP 2.0 card, so I better run!
