Branding Tip: Use PhotoStamps

How cool is this?  Brand your business with photo stamps. You can now have your logo, product or promo message printed on your postage stamps (in the United States).

I like things to be simple and efficient so recently I set up an account with stamps.com. With an account I can print all my postage through an online interface.  This saves me tons of time since I don't have to drive to the post office, stand in line and wait for all my packages to be weighed.  Now that we're selling a lot of CDs of our audio programs, this is a huge time saver.

I had read about photo stamps for business a week or so ago and today I checked it out.  It took me about 5 minutes to upload our Blog Squad logo, select the number of 20 stamp sheets I wanted to purchase and finish the sale.  Of course you're paying for the printing of the postage along with the actual cost of the postage.  The printing cost goes down as the quantity you purchase goes up.

What a great way to brand your business.  Can you imagine when you send a letter or postcard to a client/customer, what an impact this will make?  There's no limit on what you can include:  your logo, your products, a promotional announcement, event announcement, etc.  Photo stamps have been available since 2004, but not for businesses.  Previously only personal photos were permissible.

Turn your logo into real US postage with PhotoStamps. They’re perfect for every business!

I've been using Photostamps for a while as a way to promote my singing career, but I haven't used them with my business logo. I can't wait to try it!

They also make great gifts if you have someone who has dreams of being famous enough to be on a postage stamp.\

One warning. If you're photo is really old, like a photo of you as a baby, Photostamps won't print it. It seems they're afraid that you are trying to print an old photo of a celebrity or something and they could get sued. I'm not sure of the particulars, but it seems to be a legal precaution.
