Title: Start using them postage paid envelopes you get in the mail to promote your site
Post by: ApplianceJunk on April 10, 2009, 12:31:08 PM
We all get them. Some great offer in the mail along with return postage paid envelope.

I get them for things like insurance offers, bank offers, investment offers, everything. I just got one today from Wells Fargo for some life insurance.

I have been throwing hundreds of these away over the years. Today I decided to start using them.

I dropped one of our ApplianceJunk.com Cards (http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=812) in the envelope.

Then I put our ApplianceJunk.com Stamp (http://appliancejunk.com/forums/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=807) in the top left corner and on the back.

Just thought I would share incase anyone else would care to start doing the same. :)

No such thing as bad publicity, and that's really a clever way to get your name out there.
At least postal workers, and the people who receive the letters will get to see your stamps, and the card ;)

VistPrint.com is great. We got our pens and cards from them. I can order from them on say Monday morning and Wed morning I will have the stuff in my mail box. :)

Super fast and we don't even pay for the faster shipping option. Being it comes out of Canada I guess we are kind of close to them or something.

We did not get our stamp from vistaprint.com
I don't remember were we got it at this time, but if you google self inking rubber stamps you will get a list. :)
