The Fun Way to Make Their Day

22 December 2006

Media Release – WowCardztm launched

Hand out the attached WowCardztm to anyone who exudes that ‘something’ special – its not just about their looks - in the street, a bar, the office, school, home or the supermarket. In fact, anywhere.

We see people every day who somehow light up a room, look fantastic, do a great job, do something generous or thoughtful. But we say nothing – in case they reject us. Here’s a fun way to let them know you appreciate them – in a polite and respectful way. Perfect for parents and teachers to give to their children. Or appreciate your employees with one of these WowCardztm

What you do: Smile, politely give a card, then just walk away. It’s as simple as that. You’re not looking for anything in return. In fact, when you use a WowCard with a stranger, you can’t talk to them unless or until they choose to talk to you. When you’ve given a WowCard, you might want to turn back from a distance and watch their face. When they read the back of the card – you will probably see them start to ‘glow’. Smile again and leave. You have just made someone’s day.

Or may be, just may be – they’ll want to talk to you.

Maybe you want a fun way to make any kind of contact with someone but don’t know if they’re with someone, or married? You can give them a WowCard without having to worry about it.

A WowCard breaks the ice.

Roy Sheppard is the creator of WowCardztm. Roy is an author and conference speaker on relationship building in business. He has been fascinated for years about how strangers engage and interact. And what stops us. “Social networking websites such as My Space, Friends Reunited, Bebo and Facebook have become global phenomena. People desperately want to connect. Online, you can feel good about doing it. But in the real world we are now so afraid of being rejected – we are even ‘Too shy to say ‘Hi’”. I see Wowcardztm as a way of adding social fluidity back into the real world, with some of the ‘protection’ in the online world – because you don’t have to engage with the person who gave you the card. Most importantly, the cards give us the opportunity to make a connection, without the worry of being made to feel bad about it. When you offer one of these cards you are simply giving a ‘token of appreciation’. You can feel good doing that.” Packs of 40 cards are available online at www.WowCardz.com for just £3.99 + £1 P&P
