What do StampFans letters look like?
Someone asked me recently:
“I’d love to start a StampFans. But what exactly do the letters look like? What are other StampFans creators sending to their subscribers?â€
I get this question a lot, and I'm always glad when people ask!
(And yes, I’m answering you in public. That’s what happens when you ask an entrepreneur great questions about their product ??)
The short story is this: The letters you send look EXACTLY like you want.
That’s because they are 100% your creation. I use Canva to create my letters. I use images, QR codes, and I vary the font size and even the typfaces. I like using a "typewriter" look-and-feel to add an element of nostalgia to my letters
Other creators use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Sometimes they use pre-built templates (there are TONS of those around), but usually their letters are simple – black text on a white background. A few images. Lists and bullet points.

Whatever you upload is exactly what your subscribers will hold in their hands when their letter is delivered.
The coolest StampFans letter I’ve seen so far was "handwritten." Of course, the letters her subscribers actually received were not each handwritten separately. But she used a pen (or maybe an iPad Pencil) to create something in her own handwriting. She used her own cursive and shorthand, underlined important words, highlighted key points, drew arrows and diagrams to make her point – talk about taking "personal connection" with your audience to a whole other level! Then she used her iPhone to scan the letter, converted the image to a high-quality PDF (there are lots of ways to do this for free online), and uploaded it to her dashboard.
Her hundreds of subscribers all got a seven-page "handwritten" letter from her a few days later – a truly personal and memorable experience, and a powerful way to connect with folks who otherwise only know each other through pixels on a screen.
At the end of the day, StampFans is all about you – your name, your brand, your subscribers. Every word, image, and color exactly to your preference.
And every StampFans has a different angle. Some creators share personal updates, others send guides for meditation or improving your writing. Some share recipes, others share poetry. What's important is simply that it reflects you and what you’re trying to communicate in a way your subscribers can understand.
There's no right or wrong way to do StampFans. What's important is simply that you are open and honest with your subscribers. Trust me: You'll be pleasantly surprised with just how much they are willing to support you if you're willing to be open with them ??
