Ideas for PhotoStamps and Your Business
By BasicTemplates with External CSS

If you haven't experienced using PhotoStamps for your snail mail then you are about to venture into a very eye-catching and different business marketing arena. It's one thing to receive a letter or postcard from a company wanting to do business with you, but what if the stamp on that piece of mail is a photo of company employee you correspond with on a regular basis or a photo of the company's products you are interested in purchasing? PhotoStamps have been around for a year or so, but many people still do not know about them or understand their massive marketing potential.

First of all, yes, they are legal U.S. postage stamps you can use to snail mail both within the USA and outside of the USA. But make sure you purchase them from a company that is recommended by the U.S. Postal Service, like the one we use all the time.

I will personally be using PhotoStamps on my Christmas cards this year with my dogs photo. My office assistant who is expecting her second child in the spring of next year will be creating PhotoStamps of her newborn for her baby announcements. A friend used them for her wedding announcements last year. Okay, those are pretty much no-brainers, right?

But did you realize there are hundreds of other uses and many that work as a marketing tool for your business? Here are just a few:

- company staff's group photo
- company staff's individual photos
- company product photos
- storefront photos

Although PhotoStamps currently does not permit you to use your company logo or a screen capture of your website yet (we asked!) it's likely only a matter of time. However, there is a ton of potential for what they do permit. Read their terms of service for detailed information.

Make your mail memorable with PhotoStamps: the exciting new way to turn photos into real US postage!
