Berlin, May 14th 2020 – The Deutsche Post and the postcard app provider MyPostcard are now also partners in the field of individualized postage stamps. The company, MyPostcard, is offering customers the chance to create their own individualized stamps over the DeineBriefmarke.de platform. The stamps can be used to send postcards and letters, which are then sent via the Deutsche Post’s logistical network.
The personalized stamp business in Germany and the Deutsche Post AG’s product, “BRIEFMARKE INDIVIDUELL” (the individual stamp), has been exclusively in the hands of Deutsche Post for over 10 years. Now for the first time the two companies are partnering in this particular field and MyPostcard has been given the opportunity to make personalizable stamps available to existing and new customers via www.DeineBriefmarke.de, while working in close cooperation with the Deutsche Post. In fact, this is the second round of a successful partnership with the Deutsche Post: The two partners have been working together since 2018, when MyPostcard acquired the FUNCARD app from the Deutsche Post.
Ole Nordhoff, Chief Marketing Officer Post & Paket Deutschland from the Deutsche Post DHL Group, emphasizes this: “We are pleased to have found an agile partner in MyPostcard to make our successful business concept, the personalizable stamp, available to their customers too. We are confident that this expanded customer base will generate additional growth for our product.”
Deine Briefmarke offers the chance to immortalize your favorite photos and designs as real self-adhesive stamps and share them in many different ways. It’s not just possible to create your own individual stamp, but also to create a set of branded stamps. Oliver Kray, founder and CEO of MyPostcard says, „For the first time it will soon be possible to choose limited edition stamp designs from hundreds of profiles; from brands and organizations to artists, illustrators, actors and musicians.” Already, countless profiles are live. License holders include Benjamin Blümchen and Bibi&Tina; the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam; artists including Ruthe; musicians like the Amigos; Leipzig, as the first German town; and organizations like AllOut.
Oliver Kray, CEO of MyPostcard expands on this: “Given the long-standing and very successful nature of our partnership with the Deutsche Post, we’re all the more pleased to take it that step further in the form of DeineBriefmarke.de. Our goal is to bring general demand to the next level and to establish the product among private as well as business customers by offering added value and tailoring this unique product to their needs. This is a new and unique market which we are opening up side by side with the Deutsche Post. We are proud of and grateful for the trust they’ve placed in us.”
