Good morning Active Rainers!  Just found the Recipe Group today here on AR!  One of our all time favorite things to do around my house is cook in the kitchen.  Expecially this time of year, you'll find the Christmas music notched up on the CD player, and the kids and I bopping as we create new "family favorites" each week. 

I even get to share some of those with our ProspectsPLUS! & PostcardsPLUS! customers in our monthly recipe cards!  I've included a couple here and will add new ones here when I can.  For those of you who strive to be the "Recipe REALTOR" -- see the Press Release below -- you can order recipe cards of your own by clicking on the card samples below! 

Bon Appetite!

ProspectsPLUS!, an innovator in personal marketing solutions for real estate professionals, has made their popular recipe card series available on PostcardsPLUS!.com. 

This simple web-to-print platform allows agents the ease and swiftness of ordering sphere-of-influence postcards such as the successful recipe series featuring delicious appetizers, main dishes and delectable desserts in just minutes.  "Our SupportPLUS! team works to bring new products and solutions to the table each month to enable our clients to creatively compete in today's market," says Jim Studebaker, operations director for the Florida-based firm. "What's unique about our postcards is that they are fully laminated, which comes in handy when prospects use them while cooking."

"I have been looking for a recipe of the month for the past few years," said Linda Rodman of Shorewest Realtors in Milwaukee, WI. "I have a rather large farm area and have tried many different pieces and the one that worked the best was the recipe card. Your card is not only within my budget but has been very professionally designed and with both my picture and phone number on both sides. We have a small mentor group of six and we all use your program."

The system also offers a variety of timely postcard themes such as holiday cards, Just Listed/Just Sold cards, recruiting cards and more.  Agents who want an annual marketing campaign can choose the popular Inspiration, Baby or Animal series as well.  Also available are Just Listed, Just Sold and corporately designed cards for every major franchise and most larger independents. 

At $45 per hundred for standard cards and $75 per hundred for jumbo cards (lamination and first-class postage included!), prospecting has never been easier or more cost effective.

"What sets this system apart is the ease of ordering," says Director of Corporate Marketing Julie Escobar.  "Within five minutes, agents can place a personalized order with their photo, logo and contact information and upload or choose their mailing list. From there, we digitally print full-color postcards, address them, affix first-class postage and fully laminate each card. They are then packed up and sent to the post office, in most cases within 48 hours!  This series has been an exciting addition for all of customers who love being the RECIPE REALTOR in their market area!"

"Your products do just what you said they would do and more," said Kitty Sessions of Long and Foster Real Estate. "They are very easy and quick and designed to allow REALTORS^® to do what they do best: list and sell. We can just leave the advertising to the professionals! Your service department is patient and kind and gets us going so that we can get going! Thank you!"
