I believe, now more than ever, that you need something analog and real to support your (online) business and brand. I believe that everything needs to be anchored in the real world.&nbsp; And luckily there are so many creative products you can choose to anchor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can choose to buy envelopes and postcards if you agree with this concept but I consider it a good investment to get a designer to set it up properly for you. That way, your target customers would feel more connected personally, having custom-made products specially designed for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And one could argue if it&#8217;s to indulge, to send out postcards in envelopes all the time &#8211; just postage wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sending out postcards and envelopes might cost you postage, that is a fact. But we can all agree that it feels more personal to receive something in the mail than to simply receive an e-mail or a quick chat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you like to spend your money on?
