[QUOTE="Star*, post: 316968, member: 4964"] Well nothing good ever starts without research. I did some light reading about the history of mailing letters. Fascinating really. The history of mail went through some very interesting periods in history even involving Kubla Kahn and the Knights Templar. There are some really out there names that could be attached to the business that would make utterly no sense to anyone unless they were a stamp collector, or studied stamps but....after reading through the material I have a few more suggestions. Since email is the future and you are opening a business that is historical but necessary - and the art of sending letters has been coined "snail mail" -- How about a logo with a little snail speeding along with a mail bag (and isn't the history behind the word mail just interesting as all get out - it's Irish...malle) to prove that not all "snail mail" is slow.....and call it [CENTER][I][FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=4][COLOR=MediumTurquoise] SNAIL MAIL[/COLOR] [/SIZE][/FONT][/I][/CENTER] My other suggestion that I think is just adorable and appropriate is [CENTER][SIZE=4][FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=Blue]HOMETOWN LETTER BOX. [/COLOR][/FONT] [/SIZE][/CENTER] The building could be painted just like an old fashioned mail box - which used to be for those of us old enough to remember - red on top and navy blue on bottom with white letters that said - either mail box or letter box. I think that's easy to remember, cute, it signifies that you are small and small in peoples minds = less cost. (Shrugs) Look at the bottom of this WIKI - for a picture of a letterbox. [ame]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail[/ame] I absolutely LOVE the infusion of the Santa idea. I think it could be a HUGE HUGE marketing idea that could go national - really. Santa's mail comes to the LETTER BOX.....and is sent to the North Pole. :winking: - excellent suggestion. LOADS of work. (would have to include SASE) - cost....but yeah that could be profitable. For the Pack N Send? Bring it to us....We'll pack it up and Send it on it's way!! ....I'll keep thinking. [/QUOTE]
