Send Out Cards Review: If you regularly find yourself wanting to let people know you are thinking of them, then Send Out Cards may be perfect for you. You can pick from many cards, customize your greeting and they will print and mail it for you. This can save you the time of having to run and find one at the store. You also avoid the possibility of forgetting to mail it. They provide services for both businesses and individuals. Your card will be printed and sent out on their very next production run.
You can even create reminders in your account for special occasions. They will let you know about that upcoming anniversary or birthday that you did not want to forget. You will always be ready to send a great card for any special occasion.
They also provide several gift options, if you want to send more than just a card. You can pick from several gift choices or include a gift card and let them pick out what they want. The use of their reminder service is not a requisite, you can just use your account to send cards at your own discretion.
One issue that may turn a lot of people off from using their service is the fact that you cannot see the prices. In order to find out what the cards and service costs, you have to create an account on their site. You cannot even see the inside of the cards or specific details. If you click on them to look, you are taken to a log-in page. None of the prices are shown, in advance, anywhere. Many people are going to be leery of providing their contact information for a service they are not yet sure they are going to use. This just sets off many warnings.
I really cannot think of anyone that agrees to purchase something, without knowing the price ahead of time. Before they give a company all their personal information, certain details are a necessity. It is also almost impossible to discover how to create a personal account. There are tons of options on their site that direct you how to do it to become a distributor, but not for an individual. I looked for nearly an hour and finally was forced to surrender in defeat.
Not only do you have to provide your information, but the details on the people you want to send cards to, as well. It can be questionable as to how much you should trust a company that hides so much of their information. I value my privacy and certainly would not want my friends and family giving it out under these conditions.
There are many that may find looking through their cards easier than picking one out at a nearby store. They do provide a huge variety, which can allow you to select the perfect one in much less time. The fact that they print on-demand also means you can customize them much more than an off-the-shelf card. The ability to have it sent with the gift of your choice will also appeal to many, many people.
You can tell why Send Out Cards and the service they provide would be appealing to some people. They can save a lot of time and avoid forgetting an important occasion. That said, it is also simple to see why others would choose not to risk using their service. You cannot possibly know who they are allowing to print and send that card you just ordered.

We spent the $400+ to send out 75-100 cards on the premise that “the product will sell itself”. Yesterday I spent about 5 hours using the new Picture Plus 2.0 designing 22 cards for graduation party invites typing up a personal message in each card. Just for fun I wanted to show my wife the cards that had been sent out and almost all of them were missing the text I had typed into them and many were missing the pictures of my family I included on the inside.
I am not sure how an inferior product like this is supposed to sell itself. As I look around the SOC website today I am no longer blind to what a scam this is but see it through a jaundiced eye. Out of the 10 buttons you can select on the main menu 1 is for actually using this product (sending out cards) the other 9 are dedicated to propagating this multi-level marketing scam. Also, when you click on the FAQ link about 5% of the FAQs are dedicated to making/sending out cards, the rest are dedicated to answering questions about selling the system.
If you take notice many of the SOC users spend most of their energy talking about selling and marketing their products and the supposed income they bring in. Very little is dedicated to outright praise of the product and for good reason. It’s outrageously expensive to just use SOC to send out cards but it’s not so bad when you deceive others into “investing” in this product. I’m sure there will be impassioned defenses for SOC to follow saying how “personal” the product is, how “great Picture Plus” is, or how “profitable” this scam is. This is one scam you can skip, at least the text you handwrite into cards you purchase for $1.99 at Hallmark will actually be in there when they arrive.

I would like to respond to both Brandon and Justin. First if you go to sendoutcards.com, you can watch a 10 minute video and in that video you will learn how to send a card, how much a card cots to send (.62 wholesale or .98 retail plus postage), how much it costs to join at the wholesale level and finally how much you are paid as a distributor. (Show me another MLM that gives you all the financial info on the home page). I can’t find anything deceitful about send out cards.
Of course if you want to send a card, you are going to have to provide info (for the return address) and the recipients info (how9 else will they know where to send it). I wouldn’t to much about privacy, considering that I can put anyone’s name in google or dexonline and get their address and phone number pretty darn easily. SOC now has a new web page for all distributors, where anyone can go and simply send a card for $2.99 including postage. Beats going to the store! That sight is http://www.socretail.com/90547.
Now to address Justin…I am wondering if cards got sent as a draft. This might explain why there was no text. Did you call SOC. To explain all of your concerns and problems? I am guessing that you did not, because if you had, not only would they have fixed everything, they would have refunded your money for the cards that had problems. As for it taking 5 hours to create your picture cards, iam guessing you are new to this. I can usually create a picture card in 5 mins or less. It takes practice or a very good trainer to show you. Who is yoir sponsor? Instead of complaining on here, you should be talking to your sponsor to learn this system
