How-To Make Holiday Postcards With Moo.com

Have a mailing list?  Surprise your best buyers with a cute holiday postcard featuring your Etsy items!  It's easy-as-pie with Moo.com.  We've partnered with Moo to allow you to import images from your Etsy shop with a few clicks of the mouse.  Try it out!  First go to their postcard page and click the "Etsy" button.

Now, allow Moo access to your photos by authenticating with your Username and Password.

Choose which images you want to turn into postcards!

In the next step, Moo will allow you to position your photos and then add text to the back.

Add your postcards to your cart and checkout! Voila!

Now just address these to friends, family and those who have requested to be on your mailing list and pop them in the mail.  I found some great samples of Etsy sellers who have already made their own postcards on MOO.  Have a look-see:

did anyone else have a hard time making a postcard with the thumbnail gallery on the back? the option just won't show up for us! :(

Nov. 30, 2008 at 3:36 p.m. zombuki

While the printing is lovely they're very very very overpriced for promo items, maybe only for ones best customers ;3 As for me I send postcards with every order so this would break the bank!

this is a neat idea! :D

Dec. 2, 2008 at 9:15 p.m. StelmaDesigns

At about $1.00 per card and then shipping, is this the best deal around? I'd love to buy some but they are so expensive! I wish I had a promo code.

Dec. 3, 2008 at 12:16 a.m. CrankHeartPony

Just received my batch notecards (not postcards) and stickers. They're going to team up as special thank-you-for-your-support surprise mails to friends all around the world.
