Dear Ryzers,
Greetings!
Just wanted to share with you'll some news about our new startup, www.DontSpendJustSend.com.

We were recently featured in Times of India and a couple of other publications. Here's the link to Sunday TOI:

http://epaper.timesofindia.com/Default/Scripting/ArticleWin.aspFrom=Archive&Source=Page&Skin=pastissues2&BaseHref=TOIBG/2009/10/11&PageLabel=2&EntityId=Ar00203&ViewMode=HTML&GZ=T

Here's a quick summary on DSJS:
DontSpendJustSend.com is a website through which users can send personalised printed greeting cards for free across India.
With every card thus sent, we tag along offers / coupons / gift vouchers etc. from advertisers, leaving the card and the envelope sacrosanct.
It's a fantastic new media through which advertisers can roll out highly targeted direct marketing campaigns at a very cost effective manner. Some of the benefits which advertisers can derive are:
a. 95% open rate - against 2-5% offered by traditional DMs
b. Highly targeted - targeting based on ocassion, location, gender etc.
c. PPC model - advertisers pay per card. No need to commit large budgets.
The response so far (it's been a lill more than 2 months) has been pretty overwhelming.
Please use the service (it's not 100% fool proof yet, but it's 100% free and it works!).
Please do get back with feedback, thoughts, ideas, users and business :).
Cheers,
Niranjan

Hi Indu and Niranjan,

Many congratulations. Great concept and I am sure that cash register is going to keep you busy :) Dont forget to share, there are few ready takers :)))

Have a query though, How do we make our own card instead of choosing from a template. Do you plan to introduce something like that soon.

Also, if we built cards for you. Do you have a policy to pay per use? A revenue sharing strategy!!!

regards
Sam

Thanks Sam and Sajid.
Sam, yes we are in the process of putting together a designer management tool, through which designers can submit designs and earn points. Will update more on that once we launch it.

dude do something about your site.


its infecting the machines of all the people who are accessing your site using Internet explorer.


I had posted this earlier. but you did not respond or even tried to solve this problem.


this will affect your business if you do not take any action on this in the long term because your server will get b;lack listed.

Hi Shobha,
The site does not have any malware. this error is surfacing since sunday. You can go ahead and click on "proceed anyway". We have already written to google and firefox on this and it will take a while before they de-classify. However there is no issue with IE.
Should you need more clarifications on the business model, please write to me on niranjan.subbarao@gmail.com.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards,
Niranjan

Looking forward to seeing you again on www.dontspendjustsend.com
