Why use AI generated pictures for the letters? Lot of the site wording is clearly AI too, but the pictures of final product are the most important aspect.
replyI'm genuinely asking, since it just makes the site look untrustworthy. The only thing balancing that are the real pictures of the peltier stamp process.
From an old Mack Reynolds short story. The recipient is receiving a message from an alien space station, but doesn't have the alien's message machine, just a decoder.

EjectHow do you center the wax consistently? How about regulating the amount? I used to send wax stamped envelopes as new years letters to friends but have stopped because both the pour method and the glue gun method don't ever seem to produce consistent amounts or proper placement of stamps. Maybe I just haven't made enough to get good at it...but there must be a better way.
replyCool idea. I can see you guys doing well in the wedding industry. The price seems steep, but I appreciate the transparency of your pricing. It's refreshing.
replyI think you're right about that. I was coming at it from a b2b saas perspetive, but not everything should be shoved into that box. I guess I spend too much time on x. What do you think is a fair price for something like this?
replyI charged that much to gauge interest and considering it's a very manual process rn, but I think I can get it down with some automations.
I think the price would need to be closer to $4 or $5 per letter for me personally to recommend it or consider it. My SIL just sent out wedding invitations with stamped seals, and I think she would have paid $5 per letter to mail 50 envelopes. But at $8 a letter, I start thinking about how I can pay someone to print the cards and I can buy a wax seal at Hobby Lobby myself.
reply> but I appreciate the transparency of your pricing
replyI appreciate a different aspect of the pricing page. I love that the "what's included in every letter" feature table includes a checked listing for "hand-applied wax seal". The whole site is very clear that this is the selling point, so in some sense the listing of this feature feels "obvious". But I like the emphasis. It has a similar feeling to Led Zeppelin giving a concert and choosing to include Stairway to Heaven.
How are you crafting the stamps? 3d printing them so they're a negligible cost?
replyDo you have a video of how your Peltier setup works? Sounds interesting!
