A Great Way to Send Postcards

Tired of the same old boring postcards at the souvenier shops? Take better photographs than those that are on most postcards? Send your own customized postcard with your own photo and message! I just discovered this site: Postful.com. It’s really great! I tried it out and here’s a quick preliminary postcard I crafted. It’s the kids on the ancient Oneida Stone that we found while exploring ancient Indian grounds in Smithfield, NY. Wouldn’t the grandparents love to get that? I love it!

Postful.com will generate postcards and letters with your own photos and messages. They can send them out via email, snail mail, or even as API calls. And the documents can go out as PDF files, office documents, as digital photos, and more. I’m really impressed! This is such a fun site. The postcards are extremely affordable, much less expensive than stuff at the gift shops. It’s 59¢ for the first postcard, and the more you order, the lower the postcard. Letters are 99¢ for the 1st page and then 25¢ each additional page. You can read more about how Postful works here. This is a totally cool site! And I am glad to be through with fumbling over postcards and stamps and having to find a mailbox or post office to send out our postcards.

It’s free to create stuff with Postful, you only pay to send things out. There’s a signup page to store your address and/or email information for frequent mailing. This looks like a really geat idea. I’ve always liked the customized cards idea– the customized postcards idea is even better. Perfect for the traveler! Thumbs up from Mrs. Mecomber!
