TESTIMONY:
A few years ago I talked to one of your agents to place an order and told him how I was using them. He told me that you would like to have a testimonial from me telling about my use of your cards. I procrastinated, but maybe now is a good day to send my story.
Back in the late 1980’s I worked as office manager at a Christian Bookstore, and one of the things we stocked was your cards. When I changed jobs I was disappointed I was no longer able to get them, so I ordered directly from you.
My new job was working at a college in the accounting department. On pay day there was a line of students waiting at the cashier's window. I sometimes went and offered a pop-open card to each student waiting. Some of the students appreciated them so much that they would come to my office and say I really need a message card today. And I was always delighted to share.
I enjoyed entertaining at home, and would put a card on each plate at the table, and each person would share their message before we said grace. From time to time at church I am the greeter, and so I use that chance to pass out cards (I miss your children's cards). We have up to 60 in attendance and some have shared that they have kept every one they have received and really enjoy them. Our church has a booth at the fair in our small town, so I ordered cards to pass out at the fair.
I retired 20 years ago, and wondered how I could still use pop open cards. A friend drove a school bus, so I asked if he had any students that would like a secret message card. He had some students that asked for one often. And his wife has a booth at a couple of farmer’s markets, so now she also shares pop-open cards.
I was at a doctor's appointment one day and gave one to the girls in the office, and that gave me an idea. I talked to the doctor and asked if he would like some to share with patients. He was happy for the offer, and has asked for more. He says they have several patients every week that take one.
