Cool idea. I can see you guys doing well in the wedding industry. The price seems steep, but I appreciate the transparency of your pricing. It's refreshing.

I think you're right about that. I was coming at it from a b2b saas perspetive, but not everything should be shoved into that box. I guess I spend too much time on x. What do you think is a fair price for something like this?

I charged that much to gauge interest and considering it's a very manual process rn, but I think I can get it down with some automations.

I think the price would need to be closer to $4 or $5 per letter for me personally to recommend it or consider it. My SIL just sent out wedding invitations with stamped seals, and I think she would have paid $5 per letter to mail 50 envelopes. But at $8 a letter, I start thinking about how I can pay someone to print the cards and I can buy a wax seal at Hobby Lobby myself.

I appreciate a different aspect of the pricing page. I love that the "what's included in every letter" feature table includes a checked listing for "hand-applied wax seal". The whole site is very clear that this is the selling point, so in some sense the listing of this feature feels "obvious". But I like the emphasis. It has a similar feeling to Led Zeppelin giving a concert and choosing to include Stairway to Heaven.
