While doing my daily search in Apple’s App Store, I stumbled upon a free download that allows you to send a physical postcard via U.S. Mail.
Anything that makes it easier for postal customers to use our service I will be a strong advocate of it especially since the postal service is looking past the basics.
Stolen Bases and Big Stone Home (Twittelator Pro) have teamed up to create a free download called, “Postcards” available at Apple’s App Store.
Now you can create a personalized post card by taking a photo or selecting one from your library, click a button and have a postcard sent via the U.S. mail to any U.S. address in your address book.
The app will drop the photo on a postcard, tap the edge on the front of the card to add a caption, flip the postcard and tap to add your message, signature and address. Then all you have to do is click and send your postcard is in the mail.
I use a service called Send Out Cards, a personalized on-demand greeting card system. I have been waiting for Send Out Cards to create an app like this to access their system and hopefully something is in the works.
How do you feel about direct mail?
Do you still use snail mail?
How do you feel when you get a birthday card?
