What's a stamp worth these days? It depends on what it's designed to stamp. Yes, a stamp does one thing -- and does it well -- but each stamp is unique. No two stamps, even if they are etched with the same pattern, will stamp the same way. The ink and rubber play off each other in the same unique way fingerprints do. So, if you've got your hand on a stamp, know you've got the only stamp that stamps that way.
Now, all this begs the question of who uses stamps anymore? Fair enough. Ever been down to you local DMV? Bingo. What about the passport office? Yup. In fact, some businesses still use stamps to verify invoices and payments. Nothing says you've paid in full like a nice red "Paid" stamp. It's a thing of beauty.
What about this: the humble address stamp? Save your printer ink and just stamp the top left corner of the envelope and be done with it. You can opt for all kinds of fonts and flourishes, but the bottom line is you've got a stamp that will lat for ever. Play with different colors of ink while you're at it.
Why not opt for a seasonal address stamp and stay festive and relevant? A flourish of holly or even jolly Saint Nick make for a good time, period. You could get a stamp for every occasion. Easter Bunny? No worries. Halloween? You're covered. The possibilities are limitless.
Don't get caught up in the computing trend. Theses essentials never go out of style. Just because you can convert a document into a PDF file and email it will never diminish the need for a solid stapler. What about a hole-punch? It would behoove your to think of stamps as business and home essentials. Not matter how much cloud computing slowly engulfs the way we do business or correspond, you can never replace the solid, brass tacks of a good set of stamps. - 31410
