Custom Phone Cards For Your Business

[Gary Dudley]

*** Telephone Cards --- More Uses Than Just Long Distance ***


Calling Cards As a Gift

When trying to come up with gift ideas, consider a FONE-TALK(TM) prepaid
long distance calling card from MEI Design of Greensboro, N.C. This is a
gift that will not be the wrong size or color and is something that
virtually everyone can use. The cards are especially good for anyone
needing to budget their long distance usage. They are also ideal for
travelers, students, or consumers without regular home telephone service.

Calling Cards & Business

Businesses can use the cards as a way to control long distance usage by
their employees. For example, trucking companies are issuing cards to
their drivers and are experiencing a dramatic reduction in long distance
expenses.

The cards are also an excellent advertising/promotional medium. Giving
potential customer a $2.75 calling card with a business name or logo
on it will be something that is both used and remembered by the customer.

Retailers can benefit from selling the cards as well. There are virtually
hundreds of consumer markets, including:

TRAVELERS CONSUMER OUTLETS EDUCATION

- Gift Shops - Convenience Stores - Book Stores
- Airports - Grocery Stores - Student Unions
- Trade Shows - Gas Stations - University
- Travel Agents - Vending Machines Administration
- Tourist Attractions - Customer Thank You's
- Businesses Dealing - Customer Traffic

Calling Cards As A Fund Raiser

With the use of photos or artwork pertaining to your organization, the
cards can be used as a fund raiser. The cards can be produced in
limited editions to make them even more valuable to collectors.

The Prepaid Calling Card is a new type of long distance calling card
service which provides the user with a preset amount of long distance
usage via a prepaid calling card. The card is paid for in advance and
has been established with a preset amount of long distance minutes.
Once those minutes have been used, the user can then throw away the
card and purchase another card. Many people are keeping their cards
because they are becoming collector's items. The cards are equal to a
standard credit card in size and thickness. They are printed on both
the front and back, with the front featuring color, photo, logo, or any
custom designed graphics. The back contains the toll-free 1-800 number
used to place the calls, along with instructions.

The cards are user friendly and offer the following features:

- Simple To Use - Utilize Any Touch Tone Phone
- No Monthly Billing - Easy To Budget
- Flat Rate Pricing - Simple to Use 800 Number
- No High Surcharges Or Fees - Remaining Balance Available
- No Credit Application Required - Nationwide Fiber Optics
