I think people generally are interested in sending postcards. But I don't think people are interested in sending postcards with generic photos and printed text.

There are really 3 parts to a postcard. The photo, the message, and the stamp (where it came from). What you've done is removed all traces of a human having been involved in making it which removes a bit of the charm from the postcard.
Personally, for a postcard to have any value you must either hand-write the message or send a custom photo (of yourself, one you took, ect). Otherwise it basically goes into the trash next to the junk mail I already get that looks a lot like postcards.
Right now at this stage of my life, the only time I would consider send a postcard would be during the holidays to share a family photo to my parents and siblings. I would probably say that the custom photo is even more important than the actual message too these days.
Hope that helps!
- thebiglebrewski 13y agoWow, that actually really does help. I guess I failed to realize the intrinsic value there in a postcard being customized! Thanks a ton for your suggestions.
