1 Week left to order Custom Postage Stamps

Day465
CafePress announced today that May 9th would be the last day we can take orders for custom postage stamps. I will miss this product. They were a lot of fun to promote! Here’s what I say about them on my store:

Thanks to a partnership between CafePress.com and Stamps.com, we can create for you a valid USPS postage stamp. We put what you want on our custom stamps and postage pals! You may use the Yoga design and replace "yoga" with your favorite; sport, hobby, person, type of pet, charity, school or college, your business name or anything else you can think of. Send us photos of your children or come up with your own design.

Sending out grand opening announcements for you business? Promote it with your logo on the stamps. Wedding? Put a picture of the bride and groom on the stamps for the invitations and thank you notes. Graduation? Put a picture of the graduate in cap and gown on the stamp for the announcements. New baby? Put a picture of the baby on the stamps for the announcements or thank you notes. Valentine's? put the red Love stamp on all of your cards. The list is endless!

Love postage stamps for your Valentine’s

I’ve been working on my hidden Valentine section and realized my Love postage stamps would be perfect for mailing out greeting cards to your valentine’s! Don’t you think?

Christmas Shopping

Day326
My store is feeling a little of the Christmas shopping spirit! The day before we left town for Thanksgiving I had an order for 8 photo mugs, an “I’d Give Up Chocolate, but I’m no Quitter” long sleeve t-shirt, a “No Whining” button and then a lady from Oregon called me to ask how to put a picture from her son’s wedding on postage stamps.

She said she had heard a TV ad about stamps.com. I really should have asked her how she got from that to my phone number, but I was so excited I didn’t. (Note to remember that for next time!)

She sent a really pretty picture over, my husband sized it for me and I had it on stamps in my custom section in minutes. I emailed her and she ordered 3 sheets! That was fun!

Then when we returned from vacation I sold 2 rectangular magnets with the chocolate theme and a “No Sugar” mug. I thought the mug was cute if you drink your coffee black!

I’m enjoying this season!

Have fun with postage stamps!

Now that you’ve got your cards written and your tree up - (you have, haven’t you?) In case you couldn’t pass up one of the cards that doesn’t have a matching stamp:Northern Perspectives Gift Shop has an absolutely beautiful selection. (As well as many other wonderful Christmas gift ideas!)

Northern Perspectives


And custom postage stamps make great Christmas gifts for just about anyone! Send me a photo of your family or children and I’ll put them on a sheet of stamps for Grandma. Or a great summer photo would be a fun memory for the student away at college. If you are a business sending out Christmas cards to clients we can put your logo on. Newlyweds? How about a stamp with your wedding picture? The envelope becomes a present all by itself!

My custom postage stamp press release

Day138
I added Postage Pals and custom stamps to my store today and spent a lot of time writing press releases. Here’s one I sent:

Online Store,givitup,Helps People Create Custom Postage Stamps

“Online store, givitup, announces two new products; CafePress Custom Postage, brought to you through a partnership between CafePress.com and Stamps.com, enables the creation of valid USPS postage and Postage Pal™.

Nancy Geiger, owner of the store, says customers can design their own stamps or purchase her designs. “The Post Office won’t allow political or religious designs,” she said, “But, if you want your favorite sport, hobby, person’s name, charity, school or college, your business’s name or just about anything else, we can do it.”

“We especially like photographs of your children, grandchildren and pets.” She added, “They make great gifts!”

Postage Pal™ is your stamp’s alter ego. With these you can accessorize your holiday cards and packages with your own unique holiday spirit, surprise friends your way for birthdays, weddings, showers and other special occasions, deliver unique direct marketing messages for your business or make your favorite cause, message or logo stand out from the rest.

I also practiced uploading photos to the stamps and love the way they turned out!
I think a sheet of these stamps would make a great gift for any mom, dad or grandparent. Other uses:

Wedding? Send the invitations or thank you notes out with the bride and groom's picture on the stamp.

New Baby? Send the announcements or thank you notes out with the baby's picture on the stamp.

Graduation? Same thing - take a picture of your graduate with the cap and gown on and attach the stamp to the announcement, party invite or thank you note!

The list is endless!

Check out www.givitup.com The postage section is at the bottom. While there drop in on Custom orders right next to it. I have a few items of other things you can put photos on. These are great Father's Day, wedding and graduation gifts!

Below is my “baby” who just turned 19!
