Presto subscribers have asked if we could develop a way to more easily get photos to their Presto Printing Mailbox users. That easier way is now here -- announcing a new free service: Presto DailySmile™ which lets you deliver a photo-a-day from Facebook or your computer to a Printing Mailbox.
If you are a Facebook user, you just tag photos from your albums or those you have access to, and they will automatically be added to a DailySmile "Photo Queue." Photos from that queue are then automatically delivered to your Presto user one per day.
For people who don't use Facebook, just upload photos from your computer at the Presto DailySmile website ( http://www.PrestoDailySmile.com ) and they likewise will be delivered one per day.
Facebook users who use Facebook Mobile will be able to add photos to their queue from their cell phones. And, you can even subscribe to certain albums which will post any added photos directly to the DailySmile Photo Queue.
It's tremendously easy to set up a week's, month's, or year's worth of photos and once you set it, you can almost forget it (because you get daily delivery confirmation emails and an “out of photos” alert email).
Since many people under a certain age primarily use Facebook to stay in touch with friends and family, Presto DailySmile can go along way in connecting grandkids and their grandparents. And it's free!
Visit http://www.PrestoDailySmile.com and sign up now. See how easy it is to keep the love flowing to your Presto user.

Presto has this phenomenal product and service that is in essence an email machine that delivers email for seniors. It is resoundingly loved by Presto subscribers (adult children) and users (seniors) as is evidenced by customer satisfaction surveys we have conducted and user reviews on Amazon.com and Drugstore.com.
But what is the best way to inform people who could benefit from Presto and how it helps combat elder loneliness and facilitates long distance caregiving? Presto has advertised on television, on radio, in newspapers, in magazines and online. We have been on The View, The Martha Stewart Show, Montel, iVillage and many other TV and radio shows.
All of these things have brought us success, but they are expensive for any company to pursue. We've also done lots of direct mail and email campaigns and these, too, have been successful. But in this economy, it's very difficult for any company to continue to have expensive advertising campaigns.
So I thought I'd open up this question to you! What do you think we should do to spread the word about Presto to people who could use it? Please put your comments below. I'll send something nice in return for any one we use.
