Keeping Your Addresses Current with Postable

Adrienne — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:01:50 +0000

In an age that is quickly saying goodby to paper and mailed items, it is getting more and more difficult to keep up with family and friends addresses. We came across this wonderful site that helps with this problem!

What can you use this app for?

Postable will be a godsend to anyone who has a major event coming up like a wedding or a reunion, as it allows users to handle a 5-10 hour task in a matter of minutes. Postable is deceptively simple: users simply generate a link and send it out to whomever they need contact information from. As people respond to the link, Postable creates and updates a virtual address book with the most current information. Of course, the app is useful even if a user doesn’t have a major event: birthdays, holidays and anniversaries crop up throughout the year, all events for which an e-mail simply won’t do. Entrepreneurs might also find this app useful for the touch of customer service it will add, allowing them to send out thank you letters and other important mailers, especially if they send the address book link as a matter of course. From the creators: "We created Postable to solve a simple problem: nobody seems to have anybody's mailing address anymore. Email addresses and phone numbers don't help when you want to send somebody an actual piece of mail. Whether you're getting married and need to collect hundreds of mailing addresses, sending out Christmas cards or even if you just want to have a complete, up-to-date address book once and for all, Postable makes it extremely easy. We are fanatical about privacy and will never use any piece of information submitted to this site for any reason other than to provide you with an amazing Address Book."

Planning your early summer nuptials? We love this nautical themed starfish wedding invitation with rich hues of coral and green. The simple textured detail of the starfish adds a playful touch to the invitation wording and the different fonts play with one another on the page. And it doesn't end with the invitation; the theme continues onto the envelope and the other stationery in the invitation suite.
