Ben posed some excellent questions in the comments to a previous post. Some I’m going to conspicuously leave unanswered for a few days, but let me deal with the first now:

here’s what I’d like to see:

1. A photograph of what a finished letter looks like. I don’t want to send a Postful letter if it’s got advertising or your branding all over it; I’m pretty sure you’re not doing this, but I want to be certain. Basically, I want to know my letters will look professional.

All we send is your letter inside an envelope with the recipient’s address, your return address, and a stamp. I’m putting up links to pdf’s of two sample letters (once again, thanks to Matthew for producing these samples during testing). The first is a text only letter, the second includes photos (warning: this is a large file). Here’s a very low-res pic of a printed letter and envelope (I’ll update with a higher quality shot).

These show you what we print: no added branding or advertising.

Some people are using Postful for personal letters and don’t want their grandparents getting an envelope of ads from them. Others are using it for business where advertising and branding is simply not an option. We will always provide a clean letter, branding- and advertising-free, just like you’d send yourself.
