Ways to Improve Your PostEgram


PostEgrams recipients look forward to getting news from you!

PostEgram customer Pam wrote to tell us: "Aunt Viv got her PostEGram and SHE LOVED IT!!!!! Got the sweetest note in the mail from her thanking us for it:)....made her day! Best part is... she doesn't know yet that she'll be getting one once a month from us. This is going to fun!"

The awesome part of sending a PostEgram is that it requires minimal effort for MAXIMUM benefit! Here are 5 simple steps you can take that will make your PostEgram positively SMASHING.

#1 Upload pictures! The best PostEgrams are the ones that include photos of you, your kids, your vacations, your special events etc. A picture is worth a thousand words!

#2 Caption those photos. Photos captions are included in your PostEgram. Take a few seconds to type who's in the photo and what the occasion is. This really helps the recipient!

#3 Manage your content. We'll post to your wall 48 hours before your PostEgram goes out in the mail. This is your opportunity to remove any content that's not relevant for the recipient.

#4 Add a personal note. The Content Manager allows you to write a personal message to be included in your PostEgram. It's sort of like sending a Direct Message. Only the recipient will see it.

#5 Post to your wall no matter what. So your life is not as exciting as Donald Trump's, who cares? Share a good book you are reading. Or a TV show you are watching. Or a recipe. The recipient wants to hear from you!


PostEgram: Share your news. Share your photos. Stay in touch.

Want to share pictures with Grandma, but not necessarily your other Facebook Friends?

Sometimes PostEgram contributers have pictures they would love to share with the PostEgram recipient, but not their Facebook friends. For example some people feel uncomfortable posting photos of young children to Facebook and giving their names. Here’s how you can make sure only Grandma sees certain photos.

Go to your “Profile” page and click on your “Photos” tab.

Click on “Create a Photo Album”.

Name your album.

Click on the “Privacy” drop down menu.

Click on “Customize”.

Under the “Make this visible to…These People” click on the drop down menu.

Click on “Specific People”.

Type in the name of the person who created the PostEgram. This is the person who posts a "PostEgram Courtesy Reminder” on your wall.

Now click on “Create Album”.

Select photos to upload.

Upload photos.

Click on “Publish Now”.

The album will be posted to “Your” wall but only you and the person who creates the PostEgram will be able to see it and, of course, the recipient of the PostEgram!

(However, you can "remove" the wall post if you want and the photos will still be included in the PostEgram. To revove the photos completely from Facebook you must delete the album.)
