Jane is having a birthday party and you’re invited.
Jane is grateful for the presents she received.
Jane is in a decline because no one sent her an actual birthday card.

Whatever happened to the handwritten missive?

Before you break out your feather quill and ink pot, check out Touchnote — a new online photo card service that brings a personal touch back to modern day correspondence. Simply upload a photo, customize it with a message, speech bubble or caption, and they’ll turn it into a card and post it for you — by good old-fashioned snail mail.

So next time you want to say ‘happy birthday’, ‘thank you’ or ‘let’s get it on’, do so with a personal note. You might even get one back.

If you play your cards right.
