Why Don't People Send Postcards Anymore?
Traditional postcard sending has declined by over 75% in the last decade. Let's explore why this happened and how modern technology is breathing new life into this cherished tradition.
The Decline of Traditional Postcards: Key Factors
1. Digital Communication Revolution
With instant messaging and social media, people can share their experiences in real-time. Why wait days or weeks when you can instantly share photos and updates?
2. Rising Costs
International postage rates have increased significantly, making traditional postcards less appealing for budget-conscious travelers.
3. Convenience Factor
Finding postcards, stamps, and mailboxes while traveling has become an unnecessary hassle in our digital world.
4. Environmental Concerns
Growing environmental awareness has made some people hesitant about paper-based communication methods.
