Back of the Postcard - Regional: Canada/USA

For those of us who think the message on the back of the postcard is one of the best parts of postcard swapping.

This is a regional swap for Canada and the US.

Ideas for the back of the card:

• Read the receiver's profile to personalize your correspondence
• Write the tourism slogan for the place where you live, then write what you think it should be
• List the best and worst parts of the place where you live
• Write a quote or excerpt from a book that you found meaningful
• Write a favourite recipe
• Explain why you chose the postcard
• Pretend your pet is writing the postcard. What would they say?

Important administration stuff:

I check to see that everyone is rated and will add a "Finished" stamp to the Discussion section when all postcards are sent, received and rated.

I send out nudge 'please rate' messages around the one month mark after everyone has mailed their cards.

If you haven't received a postcard around the one month mark, let me know.

I've been noticing an increasing amount of blank comments on profiles. When rating please comment on the card received. Let's make our partners feel like their postcard matters. So please, no blank comments. Example of what you could write: Thank you for {describe the item}. It brightened my day...Thank you for the Van Gogh sunflower art card. It brightened my day.
