FPRU: Back of the Postcard

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

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?
• Read: 20 ideas of things to write on postcards
• Read: Simple ideas of what to write on a postcard
• Read: 10 topic ideas for writing on the back of your postcard

Send a free* postcard that you like and hope will delight your partner.

*advertising postcards, freebie postcards, some double sided ad cards or promos, handmade postcards, postcards created from unlikely sources, postcards created from used notecards, etc. etc

Important administration stuff:

Nudge

I send out nudge 'please rate' messages around the 2-week mark after everyone has mailed their cards. Please, no serial nudging, it makes my hosting job harder. Rate quickly so it doesn't end up forgotten in a pile of postcards.

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

Blank comments

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 postcard. It brightened my day.

Finished

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.
