Things to Make Life Easier (ppp)
In Japan a rubber stamp or seal is called a Inkan. An Inkan is used in East Asia to prove identity on documents and contracts, similar to people in the Western culture using a signature. These rubber stamps are typically made of stone or wood and usually are stamped with red ink.
In our western culture we typically use the rubber stamp for dates, paid in full, shipped or received on packages or documents. Another time saving use of rubber stamps that most people don’t use is one with your name and address. If you are the type of person that sends a lot of snail mail, or maybe has a business selling on ebay, a rubber stamp can save you loads of time.
My wife uses one for her Ebay business, and we got it for next to nothing online from a company called VistaPrint.com. Along with rubber stamps Vistaprint.com offers a wide selection of products including: Business Cards, Sticky Notes, Pens, Brochures, Magnets, Checks, and many other items that can be personalized in any fashion that you prefer.
This is a great way to promote your business, website or event, and can be done at a very reasonable cost. There is a great promotional offer going on at Vistaprint.com at this very moment. On an order of a rubber stamp just mention that you heard about it from Charles Hamel.com, and use the coupon code “Stamp25″ at checkout for 25% off.
My wife mentioned many times that the rubber stamp was such a time saver, so I decided to post about it. Take Care all and have a Great Easter Holidays.
