Postcard on the Run

With the increased use of technology and Smartphones, staying connected to family and friends – regardless of their location – becomes easier every year. Sending a digital picture helps stay in touch, but it sometimes lacks a personal touch, like the ability to be framed or hung up on the fridge. Especially when sending to a grandparent or a “not-so-tech-savvy” relative, sometimes a traditional photo print just might be necessary.

Fortunately, now you don’t need to keep a digital camera handy to capture the best photo-sharing moments.  Using your smartphone, you can snap a picture and send it the old-fashion way to loved ones. The Postcard on the Run cell phone app allows you to turn any photo into a postcard and instantly mail it for as low as $0.99 (to pay for printing and shipping).

Everything can be done quickly on your phone – select the contacts or enter their addresses and click “send.” In addition, you can type a message for the back of the card and hand-sign using your touch screen. Within a few days, the folks back home will have a high-quality 4”x6” postcard in the mailbox! Capture vacation memories or important milestones with this app and stay in touch with family and friends in real time.
