*

2006 REVENUE: $10 MILLION

SOC is built on advanced digital photo trend, generous payments for everyone involved and opportunity to grow in a friendly environment.

Three things amazes me:

*

1. With explosion in a greeting card business, most card companies force customers to pay for their shipping twice: from card company to customer and from customer to final destination. SOC does it once. Ask us how!

2. You know that convenient management of client addresses is crucial. Some companies charge you $30+ per month for online data management system. If you cancel the service after 1 year, you are loosing your data base.
With SOC you have peace of mind: no additional payment for unlimited access to excellent data management system with reminders and many other features in place.

3. Google Picasa promotes 4 vendors on the ouset of its excellent program to make photo/greeting cards and other related products. We compared the prices for greeting cards with your own pictures or collages and guess what? Try to find better prices than SOC's and you still won't find it.

Check the slide video below to see samples of cards you may use or create for your business:
