21st Century Stamps

By Myer Thompson

There are a few intractable office supplies you cant run a business without. You've got your stapler, you've got your tape dispenser, and you've got your supply of stamps. I bet you thought I was going to say something else, like a hole-punch or paper clips. All these items are office essentials, but none of them are as customizable as stamps. And no, I don't mean postage stamps.

A brand-spanking new set of custom stamps can give your business that personal touch that makes it unique. Sure, it's odd to say a set of prefabricated stamps will set you apart, but really, how many people are using stamp anymore? You've got the DMV and maybe a credit bureau, but this stamping trend is on the rise.

Forget about the ubiquitous "Paid" stamp or the ominous "Standby." You can customize your stamps to say anything you want. How about "Thanks!" or "Well Done"? You could even have a set of stamps made up for your address or name. Lots of people hate their freehand writing. A stamp just looks cleaner and more professional.

You could even have a stamp made to mimic your signature. That's pretty classy. I mean, it could be construed as spammy, but if you have enough self-irony to pull it off, it could be something of a style coup. There are no limits to what stamps can do for you and your business. And if you don't like them, they're relatively inexpensive, so you don't have to seat the cost.

Customize your stamps to say anything you want. What's your favorite catch phrase? Stamp it! Sure, there is a kind of cheesiness to it, but these stamps can be fun and if you have enough of them, they can be rather versatile too. The key is getting stamps you like and will use, not just stamps that seem official. Hey, it's the 21st century and these aren't your grandfather's stamps. - 31410
