The photo printing service Snapfish sent me an email saying that if I don’t order any prints, they will delete my photos. Which is completely fair. They shouldn’t have to host my photos if I’m not ordering any prints.
To pull on the emotional strings, they included a photo inside the email. Here’s a screenshot of the entire email with the photo:
I love the picture they included! It’s almost as though they hand-selected the image. (It’s a photo of my dad dressed up as Santa some seven years ago when my brother’s kids were young). Here’s the full image:
Now of course, Snapfish has WAY too many people using their service for them to hand-pick each photo for each person’s email. But it would be a bit amusing if they actually did have a staff of people that picked each person’s photo. Yeah, it would be creepy someone looking through your family photos. But it’s also kinda funny to think that someone you don’t know would actually say, “this photo is amusing.”
However it was done, well-played Snapfish. But I’m still not ordering any prints. Thanks.
In Snapfish’s business, people have already uploaded their personal photos to the service. So it doesn’t really feel weird for them to put one in the email to me. I initially wasn’t going to order any photos, but now that I re-read the email, I see they are offering ten free prints with free shipping. I should just order ten prints of this one image. And then mail a print to everyone in my family.
I would love to have that image!
I got ten prints made of the image! I’ll mail you a couple. And right now I’ll email you the digital file.
