Larry Betzler, Send Out Cards

This past Thursday, Milford LBN took time to highlight the business of one of their members, Larry Betzler of Send Out Cards. Larry explained the two arms of his business, the retail  business and the distributor business.

The retail business allows individuals and business owners access to over 17,000 greeting cards that can be purchased, customized, and sent online. In today’s fast paced life, we often put off the small but important tasks, such as letting individuals know what they mean to us and our business. Well, with just a few clicks of the mouse button, Send Out Cards gets your message delivered; making it a key customer retention tool.

The distributor business of Send Out Cards allows individuals to supplement their income or make a career out of selling cards. Want to make some extra money and do it at your own pace? Give Larry a call to find out more about this great opportunity!

R & R Web Design LLC

Michigan web design company, R & R Web Design LLC, was featured at the April 5^th LBN meeting in Milford, Michigan.   Robin Strohmaier, lead web design and owner, presented “Why Should I use Facebook for My Small Business?” during the five-minute presentation.

Using graphical illustrations, Robin explained the relatively easy way for members to support one another by “Liking” each other’s Facebook pages.  She also shared how members can support one another by clicking the “Like”, “Comment” and “Share” links on each other’s Facebook posts.

The Facebook Challenge

To encourage members to support one another virally, Robin initiated “The Facebook Challenge”.  Each member was given an outline of the chapter members that have business Facebook page URLs to assist with utilizing the power of referral marketing with Facebook.

What is R & R Web Design LLC’s biggest ask?

Robin’s biggest ask is for members to listen for anyone who may be interested in a new or redesigned website, social media marketing or website marketing in general.  To learn more about R & R Web Design LLC, please visit www.r-rwebdesign.com or their Facebook page at:  www.facebook.com/RRWebDesignLLC.

R & R Web Design’s Referral Rewards

For twelve years, R & R Web Design LLC has extended their gratitude to those people who have referred their web design services to other parties.  They recognize that “word of mouth” recommendations are one of the highest compliments a company can receive.

R & R Web Design’s Referral Program has been designed to “thank you” for your confidence in the company’s abilities. When you recommend their services to a prospective client and your recommendation results in a new or redesigned website, they will provide you, the referrer, with a $50.00 cash referral rewards.

For more, please visit Referral Program.

By supporting each member’s Facebook page on a regular basis by clicking the “share” button on posts, the post will appear on your personal Facebook wall and you will actually be networking virally! You may like to include a comment with your “share”. For example, if one member is running a special sale, you could include something similar to:

“My friend, Pat, is running a huge sale… Anyone in the southeast Michigan area looking to replace their carpet… please check this out.”

Digestion starts in the mouth, breaks down in the Stomach, with the help from hydrochloric acid. Proceeds to the small intestine, further being broken down from enzymes being released from the pancreas, liver and gallbladder. It is here, in the small intestine, where all nutrients and vitamins are absorbed. Prior to entering the rectum, chyme, the remains of what is left of the food you ate, travels through 20 feet of small intestine and passes through the large intestine.

It is important to maintain a healthy digestion system. Why? Because this is the heart, so to speak of our immune system. Keep your body running healthy with Shaklee’s awesome product EZ-GEST.
