Top-Rated Travel Site Reinvents Traditional Postcards

Toronto (ots/PRNewswire)

- Donation to Charity With Each Card
TORONTO, July 16 /PRNewswire/ --
Imagine being able to mail your friends a personalized postcard
and have  it delivered to their mailbox without ever having to step
into a store or  post office. Then imagine the time you'll save not
having to find a store  that sells postcards, choose the "best"
generic card and make your way to the  post office to buy stamps.
Now backpackers and vacationers anywhere in the world can upload
their  own photos from a computer to the popular ZoomAndGo travel web
site and  generate personalized, printed postcards that are then
mailed out, through  the postal service, to recipients. With every
postcard sent, US$0.20 is  donated to the charity of the sender's
choice from a list on the site.
"It's a traditional postcard with a digital twist," explains
Jonathan  Haldane, CEO and Founder of the site. "Whether you're on an
adventure half  way across the world, or at a celebration in your own
backyard, you can now  create a personalized postcard and have it in
the mail within a matter of  minutes. What makes it unique is that a
person uses their own picture,  chooses a handwriting style for their
personal message, and then our  proprietary online system looks after
the rest."
ZoomAndGo postcards are professionally printed and laminated real
postcards (4 1/4" x 6" or 10.8 cm x 15.25 cm) that are created
online. Each  postcard costs US$1.99 for delivery destinations in
North America and US$2.99  for delivery destinations everywhere else.
Payment for cards, which includes  printing and delivery, is done
through VISA, MasterCard or PayPal. Postcards  are usually delivered
within five to seven days for Canada and the U.S. and  within seven
to nine days for the rest of the world. As an added feature, all
addresses used to send the postcards through a ZoomAndGo account
(free) are  kept in a secure database for future access.
"Postcards are fun to receive and they're fun to send. They're a
quick,  easy way to say 'hey, look where I am' and share your
experiences," says  Haldane. "And that's what ZoomAndGo is all about
too. We've just made it  really easy to personalize the experience,
make use of technology, and keep  the pop culture appeal of postcards
booming."
ZoomAndGo.com, which has been described as "Facebook meets
Frommers", is  critically acclaimed as one of the best social sites
for exchanging reviews,  tips, photos and videos related to travel.
With a library of more than 15,000  user generated videos and 75,000
vetted and geo-tagged photos, the site  provides honest, up to date
and peer-reviewed points of view on thousands of  destinations,
hotels and points of interest.
"What I'm especially proud of is the charity aspect of the
cards," says  Haldane. "We have seven selected charities with whom we
are associated. For  every postcard sent, US$0.20 is donated to the
charity of the sender's  choice. With our large number of users, we
believe we can really make a  significant difference in improving
this world we all share."
