Imagine Getting Your Emails Delivered to Your Home Address
 
Imagine that!

You get an email with a photo attachment sent by a family member.

And then imagine you CLICK a button and it is delivered to Your Doorstep via REGULAR post.

And here's the best part, we won't even charge you anymoney for postage.

Nope.

We'll just place a "little" advert at the BACK of any email we deliver.

Would you be interested in such a service?

?

Wow!

What Will "THEY" think of Next?

What are the implications?

You might find these interesting too !
 
Hi Duane,

Thanks for the link! :)

Actually... Services not too far off from this do exist (though they're not free)... The US Postal Service offers it - they call it "NetPost"

http://www.usps.com/netpost/

Create it on your computer, and it gets sent through the mail!

Another service is "MoonPig" which focuses on greeting cards (in the UK and Australia)...

http://www.moonpig.com (UK)
http://www.moonpig.com.au (Australia)

I'm sure there are others too... :)

Cheers,

Dien

Hi Dien,

Thanks for the "real world" examples.

I love these "new concept" companies.

Did not see www.moonpig.com's North American operation (opportunity?),
but I like it.

It's fresh!

Thanks

You Might Find These NetPost Too Interesting
 
I've used Netpost in the past and it seems to be reliable. (During a mailing campaign I would send material to my own test address).

Here's a direct mail sample draft of something I sent out long ago. (Opens as pdf)

More examples of niches and direct mail:

Here's some Trash Talk On Direct Mail then the trash talkers went to the streets to look for dirt
