Spring Into Summer — NetPost CardStore Employee Service Talk

Spring is here and summer is close behind. This time of year brings many celebrations of family and personal accomplishments, so remind your customers — friends and family of new graduates, couples planning summer weddings, and sons and daughters honoring Moms and Dads on their special days — of our popular online services.

In fact, sending cards and gifts to friends and family members has never been easier than with the NetPost CardStore at www.usps.com.

From the comfort of your home, use your personal com­puter to custom design your very own greeting cards. The message can be personalized, and with a few clicks you can either upload a personal photo or select among the many graphics and sentiments offered. A few more clicks and you’ve enclosed one of the best gifts of all time — a gift card from any one of a number of nationally recognized retailers available in denominations from $25 to $200. Pay­ment can be made using your credit or debit card.

The same online service, NetPost CardStore, can be used to make Mother’s and Father’s Day extra special for your loved ones. In just a few days, a beautiful card — with or without a gift card enclosed — will be delivered right to the recipient’s mailbox. Make sure it gets there on time this year!

In fact, the services at NetPost CardStore are a great way to commemorate almost any special occasion or event — with personalized photographs, customized mes­sages and special designs and graphics. You can invite guests to the graduation party, customize your wedding arrangements or thank family and friends for those gradu­ation, wedding or birthday gifts. They’ll be thrilled to receive a photo postcard of the graduate in cap and gown, a wedding party or the new baby.

Here’s how to do it:

• Go to www.usps.com and click on NetPost CardStore.
• Download your favorite photos or artwork to create a greeting or select one of the many designs and greet­ings offered there.
• Enclose a gift card with a few more clicks.
• Select your favorite stamp as yet another personal touch.

Within days, a high-quality card will be delivered to the homes of your family and friends. Payment is easy with a debit or credit card.

Here are a few pointers:

• Cards can be ordered online today and mailed the next available business day, or you can plan ahead and have your cards printed and mailed on any day that you specify.
• You can also have your cards printed, prepared and shipped back to you using Priority Mail or Express Mail service.
• Remember to mail party invitations 10-14 days in advance.
• You can even use NetPost CardStore for mailing to family living outside the United States. Just add a “country field” to the address list before submitting the final mail piece, and complete the address data fields.

Be sure to tell your customers, family and friends that “A Card and Gift is Only a Click Away” at www.usps.com/netpost. And remember, NetPost CardStore offers Postal Service employees a substantial discount on greeting cards. When you get to the “checkout” area, type in the word “employee,” then click on the recalculate tab.
