Why should I have a RipCard™?
If you are a small to medium size business where you could use more customers, then you would WANT the RipCard™. The RipCard™ is a very, very effective solution to Give your existing customers, who obviously are very happy with your service or your product, something Back. You offer them an incentive and a Tool (RipCard™) to invite other people they know to come to you to try out your service / product at a discount, in which both the recipient of the RipCard™ gets a discount, and the the Giver of the RipCard™ (your existing customer) gets something they want as well. You can ACTUALLY Customize each card (if you want) and Give the person who refers New Business to you, what they want. This is THE MOST powerful way of Marketing, by Word-Of-Mouth / Referral, through your existing customers who already love you, Giving THEM...what THEY want.
OR you could try spend $2,000 to $5,000 on an ad in the local paper or the Yellow pages and see what kind of response you get. Our bet is that it will not even be close to what these RipCards™ will do for you. As a matter of fact we have a Guarantee with our cards.....read all about it under "Guaranteed Ripping Success " or further down below.
For more reasons WHY you should have a RipCard™.

Why Should I Order with You guys?
Guess what. This is a Patent Pending card. That means, we INVENTED the card and you would be breaking the Law by taking this design and print it with other printers other than the ones that have authorization to do so from us, RipCard™.
HOWEVER...there is an even BIGGER advantage for you to want to Become a Part of our Community.....we will Give you Support Beyond what you could even imagine....we will show you HOW YOU will become Very, Very successful at Promoting your own business. This is MUCH, MUCH more than a Business card. The RipCard™ is the Wave of the Future and the way we prefer to do business....through Personal Referrals and Word-Of-Mouth.
ALSO: There is a Cost advantage for you as well. We will get you a MUCH better price on your cards...Why? Because if you were to go to any old printer and ask for the following:
Give me a:
1. Perforated Business card
2. Four Color, Front and Back
3. Coated surface on the Front Side
4. Individually numbered on each side of the perforation line for tracking purposes. Means: EACH card has a UNIQUE Number on it and can be tracked back to exactly Whom referred the new customer.
5. 12 Point Card Stock.
6. Off Size: The RipCard™ is 3.5 x 2.25 inches. Which is the Same width as a regular business card, so it will fit in any wallet, card case, however a tiny bit Taller so it will Stand Out In a Crowd ;-)
7. Writable Surface on the back with any pen. Not all cards are like that.

....you would be paying a LOT more by going to an individual printer to run just one run....and, first and foremost, you would not get the support that could even have hoped for by staying with us. ...do we need to mention point 1 again....you would be violating our Patent and you would not want to do that, would you? We are simply asking you to honor what great product and idea we are presenting you with. Thanks for your honesty....we are honest too.

What is OUR Guarantee?

We guarantee that these cards will outperform any regular business card .....Hands down...and that is probably an UNDERSTATEMENT....

More specifically, we Guarantee we have a system that we have proven will multiply your referrals in any 9 month period. And if you follow our direction, we Guarantee your referrals will at least Double and as much as Quadruple or we will refund you your money, no questions asked*.

The Downside is close to Zero. The Upside is a Lot More Sales, a Lot More Ongoing Buyers, a Lot More Commissions and a lot more customers that will help you refer even more New Customers.

The only stipulation is that you keep accurate tracking before and after. We have a simple reference tracking system that you can use right here on our RipCard.com website once you Login under the "My Contacts" Tab.
Here you can log your cards and your results so that you can easily see the effectiveness of the RipCards and compare it to how your Regular Business Cards performed.

If you have never measured or benchmarked your results before, see how many referrals you get from your Regular Business Cards, let's say over a period of 1 or 2 months before you start using the RipCard and compare the two.

YOU WILL NOT, EVER, NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE CARDS..... GUARANTEED!

*(Less shipping and handling and any graphic designer fee, that is, if you hired any of our graphic designers to help design your card).


How long does it take to Print these cards?
Since these cards are a Special Order Cards, it takes 2 days to process them at this time. We will probably be able to cut that time in the future, but right now it takes a little longer than regular one sided business cards. So for instance if you get an order in to us by 12 noon on a Tuesday (PST), they will be shipped out Friday. Or if you get them to us by 12 noon on a Thursday (PST) we will ship them on the following Monday.
By the way, Tuesday and Thursday are our Printing Cut Off Days and Times for now>

The reason we are not able to turn around in 24 hours like most print jobs of normal business cards take is the fact that these cards need the following steps to take place:
1. Each card is Perforated.
2. Each card is INDIVIDUALLY numbered (so you can track each referral).
3. Each card is Four Color front and back.
4. And each card sits on 12 point paper.
5. Each card is slightly bigger than a regular business card (W:3.5" x H:2.0") and ours are W:3.5" x H:2.25"
*** These are in other words, custom made cards.

What is a JV (Joint Venture)?
A Joint Venture (JV) is ....well...probably The MOST powerful, Most Leveraged, Most Effective, Least Risky way you can possibly do business, and make money at it.

So how does This Translate in to the RipCard™?
Allow us to give you an example you can do in your Local Neighborhood.
Let's say you know a friend that owns a Hair Salon. And let's say that she could use more customers. Well, you happen to know a lot of people in the area and you approach her saying: "Hey, what if you and I made a deal where I help you get more customers to your Hair Salon. Would you be interested if I brought you some more customers and you kicked me back 20% of the gross or the profit (you negotiate that based on the variable costs they have) as long as they stayed with you as a client?" Interested?
Right there and then you Set up a JV. You would introduce her to the RipCard™. Why? Because it is the Perfect tool for that...Why? Because it is Made for situations like that...EACH card has a unique Number and you can Track Each Referral as well as customize each RipCard™ as to what exactly you will give away as an incentive for someone to come in to her hair salon.

What industries do these RipCard's™ work for?
Let me mention just a few:
Dentists, Chiropractors, Event Planners, Party Promoters, Hair Designers, Yoga Centers, Workout Places, Restaurants, Network Marketing companies, Dry Cleaners, Sun Tanning Salons, Manicure Places, Juice Bars, Clubs, Bars , Real Estate Agents and Investors, Coaches, Tailors,.....I mean...come on....if you get the picture...anywere where more customers are needed and you are Creative enough to figure out how to get more customers in to your store using the RipCard™.....you got it made.

How many RipCard Designs can we save when we open a free account?
You can save a total of 30 different card designs when you register for an account.
You can order prints whenever you like.

Why should I definitely buy many MORE cards than I normally would do?
Well, do you really think the RipCard™ is a Business card? Not really. Actually, not even by a long shot. It is a Promotional Tool. So why do you need MORE RipCards™ than what you would order when you would order REGULAR Business cards?
Because now you would not give out One Card Here ...and one Card there. You would give out Batches of 5, 10 cards here and 20 cards there. You are Smarter now...and you are more active in giving incentives to attract business....and, if you think about it....you ONLY pay a referral fee, AFTER you first get paid......and that is The most effective advertising you could possibly EVER do. Imagine if the Newspaper ads you placed would pay you ONLY if it got new customers to come to your store....that will be the day.... Nope...these RipCards™ are so Darn effective it is not even funny. You would want to Leave Your RipCards with the following people:
Ohhh...but first.....Allow us to make yet another example.
....
Let's say you run a Hair Salon. Next you want to put yourself in the shoes of your Customer. Ask yourself the FOLLOWING Question:
1. What does your Customer Do BEFORE they come to your store?
...well, they might go to a Manicure Place, a Workout Place, even a Restaurant or a coffee store...the list goes on....start thinking of the stores that are around you on the street / block / city you are located in...and on and on.
2. What do they do When they Are At your store?
....well, well they might check out your shampoo section, hair coloring or what have you.
3. And lastly, what do they do AFTER they have used your Service?
Well, they might go Shoe shopping, Clothes, or go to a Party.

**Why am I mentioning this? Just because you should Market WITH and THROUGH the channels mentioned: Before, During and After. Here is what I would do: Leave your cards at the Manicure places around where your store is at...make a JV deal with them and Vice Versa (you both help each other).
Secondly I would CO-Promote with the Shampoo producers / delivery guys to outfit them with cards as well.
Thirdly, I would outfit Shoe Stores / Clothing stores and Party promoters with your RipCards™.
Do you get the picture...this is ALL ABOUT Promotion...and the RipCards™ is your perfect tool. Use them and Spread them everywhere you go.

Walk me Through a Simple Scenario of how the RipCards™ would work for me, and Exactly how I would Work with them?
Scenario: You have bought the RipCards™ and you are ready to start promoting our business. In this scenario, let's say you are a Chiropractor. Here is what you would do.
When you meet your existing clients that come to you to get their back adjusted, for instance....you could say something like:
"We are starting a new promotion in which we want to offer an opportunity to our existing clients. We Value Clients such as you a lot and we want to attract the same high caliber, high quality type of clients such as you as well....and we thought that the best way to do this would be to ask You, our existing client, to tell your friends and family to come try our service too....since we would make the assumption that you would have Like Minded friends and family that we also would appreciate....and we thought that they too really would like our services. Thereby we would like to extend our great offer to your Friends and Family to come use our services and give them a great offer".

You might Initial with your signature and write "50% Off" on the Left Bottom BACK Part of the RipCards. Then you would ask your existing client to fill in the Right Back Side of the RipCards™ so that you could stay in touch with them.
In addition, in the area where it says: Adrs/Info: you might write in what you offered them under the area on the Left Bottom Backside where you see the picture of the little Pencil (most cards have that pencil there). This way you know what you "promised to give away" and you can now communicate with them in a couple of weeks to "urge them to give the card away" to help you refer more customers.
In addition to you having given away Half of the card, you have the other card in your hand and you would see a Serial number on that half that will help you identify whom you gave the Other half to. As a matter of fact, I would start by giving each client 5 to 10 cards each, and some of your clients even more cards as you would know whom is more busy networking than others....bringing you more and more new clients.

So...the Big Question that is Begging NEXT is:
What do you Offer your Existing customer that is so kind to do this Very Crucial job for you?: Brining you more Clients?

Well ...the sky is the limit. Here is where you can get really CREATIVE.
Your first thought might be to give them one Free Session at your Chiropractor services if they bring in a new customer..... OR how about this.... Let's Think Outside the BOX... Let's say you have a Dentist across the hallway, or even a Dry Cleaner, or a Manicure Salon or how about a Restaurant (I mention a Myriad of different industries just to get you thinking) very close to you. Well, I would be willing to bet you, if you in advance went over to your Dentist, Dry Cleaner or Restaurant owner and said to them: "Listen, I get a lot of clients in to my Chiropractor office and it would be easy for me to refer you some more business since you are located in my vicinity. I am doing this special promotion using these RipCard's (show them the RipCard) and I would be delighted to send you some Brand New Customers that otherwise would not come to you....if you would be willing to work with me on this special promotion I am doing. How about if I wrote on the card that if they bought (let's take the Restaurant as an example) 1 dinner at your establishment, they would get a second one for free of equal quality / price? Would you be willing to do that? Then say: "Think about it, I would Help Walk In a Brand New Customer that you would otherwise never had".

I can almost guarantee you that they would say yes. OR the example could be, with the Manicure Salon: would you give 50% off if I brought you a Brand New Client that you otherwise would never have had. You get the picture right.
** All you need to be careful to do, is to make Doubly sure that the establishment that you would make the deal with would recognize your hand writing (as you would write on the RipCard what you have been given the OK to give away, alongside with your Initials / Signature).


....NOW...if you think like I do.... you will understand that if your Existing Customer actually brought you in a New Client that actually STAYS with you...and becomes a REGULAR Client...you might want to consider the following "Business of Understanding"...or like I call it: Life Time Value Of a Client (LTV), and give a LOT MORE......than just a Free Session for their efforts.
Again, allow me to explain.
The life time value of a client would MEAN the following to me:
First you have to Fully understand your Own industry. Meaning, if you get a Client that will become a regular Client (Customer) of yours.
What does this mean..in terms of Dollars and Sense........or was that Cents ;-) Yet again, allow me to explain.

You must know the following about YOUR industry and What the Average is for YOUR customers, AKA "Life Time Value" of your customers:
1. How much do you make per session, per client, on the average?
2. How many times do they come to you per year?
3. What other products or services do they buy in addition pr. year?
4. How many years do they stay with you, on average?
---Now add up what that TOTAL income is.
** This is your Life Time Value of a Client (LTV). And This is the Number you have to Keep your Eye on. This is the Value that Your Existing Customer is brining in to you....by the use of the RipCards™.
Understand that POWER...and Reward Accordingly. The ONE that fully understands this ...and Rewards accordingly will be Very, Very....no...Really, Really Successful. We will help you do that, if you allow us to?
Will you?

** Kicker: One scenario that we have NOT factored in here is: Do the NEW CLIENTS refer other NEW clients to you again as well...just naturally, without any RipCards™ techniques involved? Most likely YES....
....just contemplating that thought is HUGE in itself...and then when you start using the RipCards™ with them as well....now we are talking MULTIPLES.

Why are not All the RipCards numbered in Sequence?
Please Note, that even though the cards are going to be individually numbered, they will NOT all be in exact Sequence.
Allow us to explain:
Let's say you order 1,000 RipCards. Here is how this is going to work: Each and every card will have a Unique number on them. However, they will not always be in exact order….and will most likely come the following way to you. Ex. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 THEN it Might Skip to number 11,12,13,14,15,16 and then continue on 17,18,19...etc. etc. This does not mean you will get less cards….it just means that they are not in Exact Order one number following the other. In this example you will then get the final card's number ending with 1,006. So you got just as many cards, but some got kicked out due to quality control issues. As a matter of fact, you will probably get more cards in total as we always like to practice what we preach: Give more than what we Receive.

** Reason: We managed to negotiate a great deal with the printers and this would make it MUCH easier for them to produce it at a Lesser cost and More efficiently for you, the Client. We hope you appreciate what we are doing for you?

HOWEVER, if you want to have them in Exact same order, you can….but it is going to cost you a whole lot more and it would be a Special Order and take longer to process. Our guess is that it will cost you around $75 to $100 more, but email us for a quote if you like to "have it your way" as we are here to do whatever we can to make you succeed.

When I enter the phone number in I get an error message? Most Likely a Skype.com Issue.
That is most likely because you have for instance www.Skype.com activated in your Browser Navigation Bar. You MUST disengage that in order to make that problem go away as Skype automatically "Takes Over" any phone number it detects and makes it an active link / phone number.

TECHNICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR SPECIFICS:

How can I select a Different color on the Backside other than having the Frontside color automatically appear on the back?
Answer: You simply do NOT Press the button called "Finish Back" and then just go directly to Save Button, then you will be able to keep the colors they way you chose them.

How to enter in a foreigh Symbol or Character.

Answer: if you are using Windos PC, you can go to a Word Document, then go to Insert in the Menu, then select Symbol and you should be able to find your symbol or character there. Now, COPY that Symbol or Character and then open the text editor in the window where you design you card and simply Paste it in where you want to place it.
