Because the postcard begins as a blank sheet of paper, the options for what may be advertised are endless. According to, “It may focus on a specific ad or campaign, or may be directed at a more general understanding of how advertising works or how… … WikipediaĪdvertising postcard - An advertising postcard is a postcard used for advertising purposes (as opposed to tourism and greeting postcards). In the meantime I'll probably just peruse some of the letter-writing/mail art blogs I found when I was searching.Advertising research - is a specialized form of marketing research conducted to improve the efficiency of. Once my cards are received and registered by the three recipients, then I'll be eligible to receive 3 postcards myself! I can't wait! For every card received, you're put on the list to be sent a postcard. You send the card to the person, and when they receive it, they register the ID number. I had to rush out and buy postcards and stamps at lunch time the next day so my buddies would get their postcards ASAP! You're then given an address and card ID number. ('Apply' makes it sound hard, but you just need to click the 'Send a Postcard' button!) I decided to send only 3, because the postage was a bit more than I thought it would be. Initially, you can apply to send up to 5 postcards. I realised that postcards are perfect for me right now because: there's a limited amount of space on them so you don't have the pressure of having to write a lot they come with pretty pictures that you can collect so there's motivation to keep sending more you send/receive to different people each time, so you don't have the awkwardness of being 'stuck' with someone you may not get along with. of postcards sent/received, which countries, no. It has hundreds and thousands of members from all over the world, and has lots of satisfying stats on no. To cut a long and rambling story short, I joined Post Crossing! It's a site that co-ordinates members to send and receive postcards. I'm just not ready to commit to that yet. Even still, all my fears about being a bad penpal remained. After a bit of judicious googling, I found a couple of penpal-matching sites that didn't look too dodgy. This must have coincided with one of those rare moods where I feel like reaching out to people, because I was suddenly struck with an urge to find myself a penpal! I looked up the Letter Writers' Alliance again which got me all excited again, but was still concerned about the lack of detailed matching information. Then last weekend, I was suddenly struck with sadness that I never use my fountain pens and other cool pens anymore. So I put the whole thing on the backburner. What if I didn't get along with my penpal? What if I couldn't think of anything to put and my letters were boring, or worse, short? (When I was a kid, short letters were the pits!) And worst of all - what if I got quickly bored with it as I have with so many other hobbies and projects in the past? (I have over 30 unfinished projects of all kinds, you know!) That would be really unfair on the other person and I would feel terrible. I was worried that all sorts of things could go wrong. The matching process didn't seem to be very detailed - you only had to supply your age and gender. The cool retro stationery and the mail art, wow! But when it came to sending away for an actual penpal, I hesitated. I was very excited and joined up straight away! I got my membership card and badge in the mail, and spent some time perusing the members-only section of the website. The Alliance was formed to revive and promote contact through all forms of letter-writing. Still, every now and then I thought fondly back to that time, but I just assumed that the art and hobby of letter-writing was dead.Ībout 6 months ago, I heard about the Letter Writers' Alliance from the Craftypod Podcast. I enjoyed it so much - sending and receiving letters, reading about other kids' lives, the stationery and the stickers and the stamps! They all petered out though, and for a long time I was closed off. I was thinking back to when I was a kid and I had penpals. It can be overwhelming and I become filled with doubts. I've seen and heard about so many amazing people, but been too shy to start a dialogue with them. The internet has been both a blessing and a curse. Lately I've been wanting to reach out to people more, and find people with similar hobbies to me.
