I get it, you’re a savvy digital nomad living off crypto-bought cheap noodles in Thailand how in the world am I going to convince you to send an ACTUAL PAPER POSTCARD through the MAIL!!?

Here’s how. You’re going to do it with INK. I just did it in seconds and it felt awesome!

Did you ever get the “You Could Have Been Dead In a Ditch!!” lecture? Well I have, and by it’s frequency, you’d think all the ditches in the world would be full of folks who forgot to call their Moms.

Nevertheless, why not take 15 seconds out of your day and send Mom a card, from anywhere in the world, for less than half the price of a cup of coffee.

Enter INK.


Ink allows you to choose a postcard template, upload your own photos and send a personal message straight from your phone…

You may be tempted to share your best shot from your travels, maybe a stunning sunset, or an incredible meal, but really, Mom and/or Grandma just want to see your beautiful face, so don't hold out on her!

Time to say something nice. Don't overthink it, they'll still be reeling from the fact that they actually got mail from you instead of a text. Either way, heart emoji's never hurt ;)

INK imports your contact's address information, and even lets you pay using ApplePay. WINNING.

(it was so easy, I decided to do another for Mom)

You can even set up a postcard in advance and schedule it to be delivered on a specific date.

Now sit back and enjoy the rest of the week filled with the anticipation of getting a text from family members who are uber-stoked by your surprise! Go you!

Also, INK is a great way to tell your significant other you're thinking of them WITHOUT having to pay $4.99 for a card at the pharmacy, Valentines day is coming up after all!

No I was not paid by INK to write this, It's just something I tried out while lying in bed waiting to dose off last night and I wanted to share it with you BECAUSE I CARE OKAY!!!!

Cool! An actual snail mail card! Haven't had one of those in years!

right! You COULD argue that because of that reason they're more valuable now than ever!

This really is a cool idea. Why don't they do it with letters and old script, dripped ink fonts and 'old look' paper. I'd write actual letters all the time if I could hit send from my comp (not my phone though, I hate typing with my phone) and have a real letter delivered. Can someone make that ap for me and then give me half the money for the idea, please and thank you. ;)

LOL I'm SURE something LIKE that exists, maybe not exactly, but hand letterers aren't having any problem getting work lately- there's got to be something out there like that
