Email Machine for Grandma and Grandpa

 

I hear it all the time, “Eee-mail machine?! What in the world would I want with eee-mail machine?!” I’ve heard this many times from people relating what their mom or dad thought of the idea of being given an email machine like Presto as a present to stay better connected to their extended family.

Usual excuses include: “I don’t need an email machine.” “I’ll never use it.” “It’s too expensive.” “It’s too big.” “I’ve gotten along just fine this long without it.”

What goes unsaid is: “I won’t understand how to use an email machine.” “It sounds complicated.” “It will be just another hassle.” “I will be bothered all the time by it.” “I don’t want to be a burden.”

But here are actual quotes taken from different people who wrote to Presto after it was “forced” upon them by their kids: “Best Present Ever!!!” “LOVE IT!!!” “Wonderful!” “I’m thrilled” “Brought me back into the land of the living.”

What we have found from tens of thousands of Presto users is this…

1. Elder parents don’t understand what an email machine is, or its benefits.

2. Their adult kids are the ones who typically push Presto onto them.

3. Resoundingly, elders who are given Presto say it is the best present they have ever received.

We also know people love Presto because…

• Presto consistently scores 9’s and 10’s on customer satisfaction surveys.

• Almost no one discontinues the email machine service because they are unsatisfied.

• Our 60-day money back guarantee is rarely ever used.

So my advice to families is this: take the bull by the horns. Show up at Mom and Dad’s house with a Presto Printing Mailbox this Holiday, plug it in, and in a short while show them the photos that you emailed to them from home when it prints out automatically from this magic email machine.

Comments

I think that in this day and age email is the best form of communication between families as the postal service has really become unreliable and with this technology one can send photos and know that the person on the other side will get them and they won't be lost in transit.

Is the FREE machine digital or analog?

There is only one Presto Printing Mailbox, and it is a specially designed color printer that receives mail from the Presto Mail service when connected to an analog telephone line (plain old telephone service). In my house, I have a digital broadband triple-play service from Astound (my mother-in-law has the same from Comcast). In both our cases, the digital service is changed to analog outside the house, so that all of the phone lines throughout the house are analog, and Presto works great in both environments.
