Market Yourself with Postage Stamps of Your Pets

Pug According to Tim Stanley, Stamps.com Photo Stamps are coming back. The URL is http://photo.stamps.com. 

PhotoStamps let you take your own photographs and turn them into real U.S. postage. To create PhotoStamps all you need to do is upload a photo, customize it using their easy-to-use interface, then place your order. Stamps.com, the company behind PhotoStamps, has been a USPS-approved provider of on-line postage since 1999.

Harry_and_larryOnline, Tim shows some examples of Little Sheba his "Hug Pug" (http://hugpug.com) stamps from when photo stamps were available last
year: http://www.hugpug.com/sheba/sheba_stamps/.  I have to say, Tim is a mighty lovesome for his pug, but they are awful cute.

It's a relatively inexpensive way to market your firm (or puppy) through the use of Official US Postage Stamps.  I myself have no puppy, but I do have an African Gray parrot and a Greenwing Macaw.  What do you think -- should I use Harry the Macaw?

Hi,

Apparently stamps.com isn't the only company to offer photo stamps. Endicia.com (http://www.endicia.com) just added this feature to its site.

I've come across singers and realtors who are using custom postage for branding. I'm sure it will spread!
