What if it were true??

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

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)
