Once a staple of any vacation, the postcard has since faded into obscurity due to the advent of technology and instant sharing. One company meshing the best of both worlds, Touchnote Ltd., has a popular app on both Android and iOS that allows users to turn photos into personalized postcards and have them sent for around a $1.49 per postcard. In celebration of the 2012 Olympic Games, both Touchnote and Samsung want users to have the luxury of sharing their amazing moments via a postcard without having to visit a local London gift shop. That’s why Samsung is sponsoring a promo that will allow users to send free Touchnote postcards up until August 31st.

Receiving a thick, glossy, 4.5 x 6 inch card at 300dpi resolution is sure to brighten anyone’s day, and not having to go to a gift shop, purchase a post card, buy a stamp, and find a mailbox is sure to brighten your day. This summer promo appears to be available via Touchnote’s Android app, Facebook app and website. There have also been reports of it being available to iOS users as well.

The entire process, from photo upload to sending, is simple, painless, and best of all free (until August 31)! So, grab yourself the Touchnote app and start sharing your memories with the ones you love (or don’t love, who am I to judge).
