We have 3 different packages to choose from. Each has a one-time only start-up fee in which you are paying for a lifetime system license to use the features for that particular package.
Additionally, each package does include a prepayment for your cards each month. If you use up all of your cards you can buy more at any time, effective immediately. If you don't use up all from the previous month, they will roll over to the next month and NEVER expire.
My suggestion is to go to www.SOCNicole.com and set up a free trial. It will first walk you through sending a card, show you some features included in the system, then go over th details of each package.
If you prefer a live voice on the other end, please call any time.
Thanks,
Nicole

I started my own PR firm at the suggestion of my former boss. I have been in business for over two years. It has been a lot of fun starting and developing a business. I still work with law firms and real estate developers.
Thanks for the compliments.

I had been wondering what you had been doing? I hope you remember me? I used to call you on behalf of my law firm clients.
I am glad you are doing well.
