What are
some of the things people are doing with Photo Stamps?
For over a hundred years, the USPS was the only producer of U.S.
postage. For many of those years, stamp subjects were mostly
confined to dead presidents and national monuments. During this
time you didn't want to be on a stamp, for that meant you would
have been dead for more than ten years.
But that all
changed with Photo Stamps and similar services such as those from
Pitney Bowes and Zazzle.com. Now, most anyone can create their
own custom postage stamps with personalized photos. For obvious
reasons, there are a few restrictions. In fact, when the service
was in its test phase, a Website was able to order photo stamps
with notorious images. But for most people, they'll be able to
commemorate their favorite person, pet, or event.
Some of
the most popular personalized stamps are those of proud parents
featuring their new babies. Weddings are another popular subject
of these picture postage stamps. Pets are popular also,
and not just cats and dogs, but birds and lizards too. Boy
Scouts, Girl Scouts and little league sports teams are also
popular subjects of this custom picture postage. And
people aren't shy about putting their own mug on these photo
postage stamps.
People are
designing their own stamps as well, much like the Postal Service
does. People are designing customized stamps with their own
Christmas designs and Valentine's Day designs for example.
Business
are putting their logos on this customized postage. Realtors,
service businesses, and tech companies are some of the many
business types that are taking advantage of this new marketing
tool.
PhotoStamps.com themselves are offering customized postage
designs, if you don't want to create your own. Their collection
includes NFL teams, college teams, and picture stamps featuring
images of Anne Geddes. Don't miss the Wizard of Oz 70th
Anniversary stamps either.
The
Smithsonian has even gotten in on the action, as they had a
Photo Stamps of the Year contest for 2007 and 2008 (no word yet
on 2009). You can see the winners at the PhotoStamps.com
website.
Best of
all, the Photo Stamps can be used as official US postage, and
they will sure to be noticed with a smile by family, friends and
associates when they come in the mail.
