About Diana Ratliff

Business card design expert Diana Ratliff Diana Ratliff is an author and entrepreneur with a passion for the power of the carefully-chosen word. As her taglines indicate, she believes that marketing materials should work as hard as their owners do.

Former publisher of the Way to Grow Home Business Directory and the Way to Advertise newsletter, her experiences with new business owners led to a fascination with business cards. Diana noticed that many of her clients would order cheap, ugly cards and then somehow expect the world to beat a path to their doors. Her subsequent research led to this website and reports.

Send Out Cards:
In early 2008, Ratliff signed up as an Independent Distributor for web-based greeting card company Send Out Cards. Send Out Cards allows people to choose or create greeting cards online, which the company then prints, stuffs, stamps and mails. Ratliff highly recommends Send Out Cards for anyone who wants a convenient, economical and versatile way to stay in touch with friends, colleagues or customers on a regular basis. It's a great way to appreciate those important personal and professional contacts, which of course can lead to repeat business and even more referrals. You can even earn commissions for referring this popular service to others, making it an ideal "Plan B" income opportunity as well. Contact Diana for a Free Trial of Send Out Cards.

Ratliff considers herself fortunate to write on a variety of topics that interest her; other websites and ebooks include one about online shopping and one about pet businesses.
