How does postcard on the run work

Several competing apps have entered the market place, making it hard for Postcard On the Run to hang on to its niche in the market. The social media pages are relatively quiet, but the app still appears in both iTunes and the GooglePlay store, and the website is active. It seemed that Postcard on the Run still had its feet under it, but this appeared on their website in September, All orders successfully submitted by way of one of our apps on or prior to that date will be printed and shipped.

This is the first company showcased on Shark Tank that I immediately looked up online the next day. I think this firm is going to put postcard makers out of business the way Napster decimated the music biz.

Apple had this exact model sans the signing with your finger , and unfortunately they just pulled the app 2 weeks ago.

And I was probably the only person who used it! Great idea, but just not enough traction or attention in the market. I wish him all the best, but apps come and go. Happy competition. Have been using Postcard on the Run for a few months and had a recent problem that sent me looking for a phone number for them.

Found this discussion while searching. Speculation about how well they will do or not do is over. Seems like a fantastic idea! Josh Brooks agrees with Mark Cuban and states that Postcard on the Run has hit the market, and if you look at websites and blogs, and when they talk about what is interesting connecting the online to the offline, they will point to Postcard on the Run.

Mark Cuban states that the concept of valuing Postcard on the Run at six million dollars is ridiculous. He continues by saying that Josh Brooks lives in the Silicon Valley bubble, and either he will get acquired or he is out of luck, because his bubble will burst and there is not much interest in middle-sized companies like Postcard on the Run.

Josh Brooks answers the question by saying that he has about a hundred and eighty five thousand dollars in the bank, to which Mark Cuban says that he is screwed and states that he is not willing to invest in Postcard on the Run. Mark Cuban states that he is out. Barbara Corcoran states that she likes a couple of things about Postcard on the Run.

She states that she likes nothing better than to receive an actual picture, and that she takes hundreds of pictures of her kids, but never prints them out.

Barbara Corcoran says that the idea of receiving a postcard is like you are receiving a present, and that is why she really enjoys receiving postcards and actual pictures. She also says that Postcard on the Run lacks the emotional aspect of receiving a postcard or an actual picture, because the text on the back of it is typed out, which takes the warm and fuzzy feeling out of it. Barbara Corcoran states that she is out as well. Lori Greiner states that she thinks that Postcard on the Run is a great idea, but that Josh Brooks said that he had patents pending.

Robert Herjavec states that his kids travel all the time, and that they never email him or call him. After finding out that Selena Gomez invested in Postcard on the Run, he claims that his kids would love to use Postcard on the Run to send him a photo of themselves on a postcard.

Robert Herjavec continues by stating that he agrees Mark Cuban, and that Postcard on the Run has to sell for an enormous amount, just to get some return. Robert Herjavec continues by saying that he loves the idea and the vision behind the company, but that he is not comfortable with the six million dollar valuation of Postcard on the Run.

Instead, he is willing to offer a three hundred thousand dollar investment, for a ten percent stake in Postcard on the Run. Josh Brooks states that he is not comfortable with the offer that Robert Herjavec made, and asks Robert Herjavec if he is willing to consider that Postcard on the Run is worth closer to five million dollars, which means that Robert would get a six percent stake in the company.

Robert Herjavec states that it is his money, and that he is allowed to ask what he want for it, and counter-offers for a seven-and-a-half percent stake, in exchange for a three hundred thousand dollar investment. Postcard on the Run made over four hundred thousand dollars in twenty one months, but it was not enough to make a real profit, because all of the money went back into the company.

Josh Brooks was looking for an investment from the Sharks, so that he would be able to keep Postcard on the Run afloat, and expand his business, in order to be able to sell more postcards and make more money. There is no mention of Postcard on the Run being the best or worst on Shark Tank.

However, four of the five Sharks were not willing to invest in the company, because of the fact that they thought that the company would not make it and that it was overvalued by millions of dollars.

The last Blog Posts is from the end of December, It is also very difficult to find anything about pricing on the Postcard on the Run website.
