Hi all you beautiful people! :)

I am so excited to see this subreddit and could use some advice.

I started my mail club in late January. It's called La Vie en Rose. I am a realism artist, and the theme is I look at my life with rose-colored glasses and turn the ordinary into art. In addition to my realism prints, I include stickers, a fun fact card, paper star activity, a personal message, a letter, and one lucky subscriber wins one of my ACEOs each month.

I've really been enjoying it, and I've grown to 17 subscribers, which I'm super grateful for! After my husband looked at our finances, he realized we had to make a lot of budget cuts. Since I'm not breaking even yet, he thinks I shouldn't continue the mail club. This was back in March. We came to a compromise where if I don't get 25 subscribers by May, I have to stop. I was looking over our finances too, and I know he's right, but it just sucks. I really really really don't want to stop.

I've kinda been scrambling trying to find ways to advertise my mail club and reach more people without spending any more money. I'm having trouble turning views on social media into customers. I would love any advice you guys have!!

Sorry for the longer post. Here's a link to my mail club if that helps:

This month’s theme is patience / growth takes time 🌱

My name is Ana, I am a printmaker and illustrator from Sofia, Bulgaria.My work is mostly inspired by nature and mysticism, pagan rituals and folklore. I am alto into the punk DIY scene and guerilla gardening. I started my mail club (Hands on Mail) in January because I have been fond of mail and receiving postcards and letters my whole life! I have been a part of the postcrossing community for some years also.

My monthly mail consists of a special postcard size linocut print, an analog photo postcard I shoot myself, because I love analog photography! A sticker, a letter with a monthly music playlist and a surprise goodie. I have 14 member so now and I am super excited about it!

Thank you for welcoming me into the community!

Hi! My name is Cristina, and I’m from Puerto Rico. I’m creating a mail club where real stories from people around the world are turned into meaningful, beautifully designed physical letters.

I’d love for you to be part of this journey 💌

I’m currently looking for people who would like to share their stories—or know someone who might. Every story matters, whether it’s beautiful, difficult, strange, or simply human.

To submit your story click on here:

I've been designing and hand making pocket sized (3.5 x 5.5 inch, 48 pages) notebooks and have a lot of ideas for interesting covers and page layouts, as well as a range of different papers to try out. Cost would be $12 per month, which would get you a notebook, and perhaps a couple of add ons once in a while to keep things interesting!

If even one person is interested I'd be willing to give this a try!

The theme was chosen last month via Patreon poll, and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Hello!

I’d love to see any other Mail clubs that have a colourful, maximalist aesthetic. I don’t subscribe to any currently but I’d like to. Oh and I’m in Australia.

This is my March offering - I’m just putting April together 💖
