Free business idea: Electronic snail mail
Posted on 08. Feb, 2007 by Jonathan Cherry in Uncategorized
Since the invention of email, SMS, MMS, IM and all of those other dull named communication tools that we use as a virtual crutch these days; the only stuff the post office sees are bills, statements and Amazon packages.
Even though everything is so convenient now – it’s still a mission for any business to process, print and post all their snail mail.
But, PixelLetter in Germany have spotted a gap and are offered a service that lets you send snail mail electronically.
- Compose your letter on your PC as a PDF
- Transfer it to the PixelLetter server
- Pay them .
- PixelLetter will then print, fold and envelope your letter and deliver it the old fashioned way
A similar thing has probably always been available for big corporate companies, but these guys seem to be targeting smaller one-off business.

Even better would be a service where granny can scribble out her hand written letter. It is then scanned, emailed to a centre nearest the desired location, reproduced on chosen paper etc, put in an envelope and then delivered – almost kind of like a “beam me up Scotty” letter service.
I thought about this about 10 years ago – but as Felix Dennis says its not ideas that are the problem, but implementation

Talking ’bout Felix Dennis – is that new book of his any good?

The book is great. It is an excellent read. If you are willing to sell granny and your kids into slavery you too can be a billionaire. Harsh, but strikes a chord about why the rest of us don’t swim in money – life needs balance.
