Not Your Father’s Stamps: Custom Stamps
The modern business or home office has a few tried and true supply standbys. You’ve got your stapler, you’ve got your tape dispenser, and you’ve got your supply of stamps. I bet you thought I was going to say something else, like a hole-punch or paper clips. All these items are office essentials, but none of them are as customizable as stamps. And no, I don’t mean postage stamps.
Stamping Through the Past
Compose, send, and CC. Emails have become ubiquitous. Oddly enough, people still find the time and inclination to send snail mail. The postal service is still doing business for a reason, not to mention the likes of UPS and FedEx. It may seem quaint in our cloud-computing world, but nothing quite compares to getting a letter or card through the mail. It’s a tactile sensation that is lacking with email cards and pop-up jingles.
