Customized Postage: Ways Performing Artists Can Use It

Customized postage — which you order online with a photo of yours on them — is an enjoyable publicity device for performing artists to use. I came across the idea of performing artists using these PhotoStamps when I read a blog by a singer who was using them to become better known.

Many different performing artists could use customized postage.

For example, actors could have a shot of themselves in a recent role, whether film or stage, or they could use a publicity photo taken specially for this purpose if they wished. Once they had the postage, they’d have to find an interesting way to use it, perhaps hand-written notes on nice paper to people in their field. Keeping in touch more often happens by phone or email, so this gesture would stand out.

The postage could have the “url” or internet address of the person’s website.

Many circus artists could make delightful customized postage. A clown face would be an obvious choice, but acrobats, contortionists and others could come up with great pictures. You just have to remember that the image has to read well at a glance.

A juggler could have a very amusing bit of customized postage, showing some tomatoes or other objects flying through the air, with the juggler’s face showing too. This could be a tricky photo to get but it would be great! The more it shows this particular person, the better PR value it has.

Some other performing artists who might like to use customized postage include dancers, mimes, puppeteers, people who do historical reenactments, storytellers, musicians, street performers, and more.

Since many performing artists have creative personalities, they could likely come up with a lot of good ideas for what to put on their postage. If they came up with really delightful pictures, through a service like Cafepress, they could have the photos put on other items such as mugs and tshirts available for sale at the site. Cafepress handles customized postage too, and in such a way that the performers could offer it for sale to the public.
