Mediation Business Promotion with Postage Stamps: Introducing PhotoStamps

Many of you know we have two dogs, a giant Newfoundland cross named Hugo and a wee Shih Tzu named Luigi. When we found Luigi running down a busy road 10 years ago, I campaigned to keep him when his owner was nowhere to be found. My husband’s response, essentially: Not a chance. We had always had large dogs and Rod did not want to be seen or put up with a “rat dog.”

Things change. Within a few months Luigi (formerly Rat Dog) and Rod became inseparable and they still are. Since Rod’s 6′3″ and Luigi’s nine pounds, they’re quite a pair.

So when I heard of PhotoStamps, I knew just what I had to do. I ordered a set of stamps as a gift for Rod. And they feature little Luigi. Yes, they’re real USPS-approved stamps. All you need to have your very own is a credit or debit card and an uploadable digital photo or graphic file.

While not cheap (about $1 per stamp with shipping if you buy only 1 sheet of 20 stamps), the price declines the more stamps you purchase. They’re being marketed as gifts, for use in special event mailings (weddings, birth announcements), and for special mediation business promotion mailings (with your logo, for example).

I see myself as a periodic purchaser of their cool product. What about you—how would use them? Leave a comment below!
