VMDirect and SendOutCards are two network
marketing companies which feature products not only for personal use, but for
business purposes as well. Building and maintaining customer relationships is
critical for any business and is a vital part of the attraction marketing
business model.
SendOutCards: Physical Greeting Cards
SendOutCards is a good offline customer relationship strategy. With this
program, which customers can try out for as little as $25, you can send physical
greeting cards through the mail and into the hands of your prospects all from
your computer.
The SendOutCards system contains over 13,000 existing cards, or you can create
your own cards using photos you have taken yourself or downloaded from the
internet. Using your own handwriting font, you can create a campaign providing
your contact information, a free consultation or feature information on a new
item in your product line and send hundreds of cards to your list at the click
of a button.
VMDirect Products
VMDirect specializes in, among other digital goodies, video emails through its
HelloWorld plans. The $9.95 a month package allows you to send video emails,
video IMs, create live web broadcasts, podcasts and a video blog. You can store
your calendar, music and photos all in one place.
VMDirect email - streaming video options
that allow users to create or reply with text or video emails. The videos can be
delivered in multiple media formats, ensuring higher delivery rates. Storage is
provided by the server so you don't clutter up your computer. You can upload
your own custom graphics and videos, and you have the option to copy and paste
video on demand on external websites.
Video IM - is the Instant Messenger tool.
This enables you to have a video chat with up to four people at the same time.
This product comes for free with every helloMail account.
Live Broadcasting - is an easy to use
live webcasting tool which allows one user to broadcast to several simultaneous
viewers. Which package you choose will determine how many viewers you can
broadcast to at a time. For the $9.95 a month package, you could host 10 viewers
per session. This is a way for small business owners to offer training and
events for their clients. You can archive your events, customize your graphics
with links, poll your viewers and there is also a pay-per-view function.
There are no contracts, set-up fees or software required for the service.
Video Email to Brand Yourself and Your Business
The video email is of particular interest since, as network marketers, email is
such a big part of keeping in touch with our customers.
As network marketers and home business owners, we meet a lot of people. It can
be difficult, after attending a seminar for example, to remember exactly who
goes with which business card collected. Sending a video email which simply
states how great it was to connect ensures that YOU are not one of the many new
contacts who get lost in the shuffle.
VMDirect Company and Compensation Plan
VMDirect is the brainchild of Craig Ellins and Amy Black. When they were joined
in 2003 by network marketing legend Richard Kall, the company really started to
take off, generating two billion dollars a year through streaming media in the
U.S. alone.
The company's products are global and within the last few months they have made
the products accessible to Mac users as well as PC users.
As a retail product, customers receive 20% commission of monthly sales as well
as 20% from the sales their customer's customers make.
The compensation plan for business builders is a 3X8 flexible matrix, meaning
you have three "business partners" or team members on your front line, and each
of them has three on their front line, down through eight levels. You would earn
2-5% commission from each person's subscription bill every month.
When you enroll business partners at the top level, there are significant bonus
plans ranging from $500 to $900 per person.
Whether or not you decide this particular company is a good fit for you, I do
encourage you to consider this type of technology as part of your
attraction marketing campaign.
Anything you can do to brand yourself and stay in touch with your prospects will
help to grow your business.
