That was just over 3 months ago. It's exciting to be involved with the company at this relatively early stage of development. Basically SendOutCards is doing to the greeting card industry what Netflix has done to movie rentals. We make it much more convenient and much less expensive to use the power of personal cards to strengthen relationships.” – James Kohn
