In the age of smartphones and social media, sharing the details of your travels with those close to you has never been quicker and simpler. This is why many believe postcards are a thing of the past. But it isn’t quite so.
The reason why you can still buy a postcard anywhere you go is because there are still people who buy them and send them. And so should you. Here is why.
They Are the Best Souvenirs
Forget about key chains or magnets; postcards are the best souvenirs. They can be put in a frame, hung on the wall, or slapped on a fridge and will look cool.
They Are Personalized
Everyone will appreciate more the effort of you taking the time to write a message than just picking out some random item from a souvenir shop.
They Are Cheap
If you don’t have money to spend on expensive gifts, then postcards can be a budget-friendly way of letting people at home know that you didn’t forget them while on an adventure.
They Come With a Surprise Factor
People are rarely getting stuff in the mail now. By surprising them with a postcard that arrives when they are not expecting, you’ll make sure it’s something they will remember for a long time.
