Touchnote Offers Personal Touch to Digital Postcards
Touchnote is the one of the UK's fastest growing apps and has grown exponentially in three years. The postcard-sending company has expanded to America, with CEO and President Oded Ran launching Touchnote USA in Los Angeles.
It's been dubbed the world’s most popular postcard-sending service and provides customers a digital solution to sending something customized and thoughtful. Other products include greeting cards, holiday cards, photo books, and canvasses - all made and ordered via the Touchnote app. Ran says it's simple to use and can all be done with the touch of your finger, right on your phone. After creating an account, you simply upload your digital photo, write a personalized note, and choose the address of the person you want to send. Touchnote turns it into a personalized print, takes care of postage and sends it off.
Ran also touches on how he grew his business so quickly - making $6 million in sales last year and growing revenues 295% over the past three years. He says it's all about finding something people want and creating a solution that makes it easier for them to do something they would already be doing.

Navratil began his career with Nestlé in 2001 and has held various roles, including CEO of Nestlé's Nespresso division since 2024.
Kraft Heinz is splitting into two companies a decade after they joined in a massive merger that created one of the biggest food companies on the planet. One of the companies will include brands such as Heinz, Philadelphia cream cheese and Kraft Mac & Cheese. The other will include brands like Oscar Mayer, Kraft Singles and Lunchables. When the company formed in 2015 it wanted to capitalize on its massive scale, but shifting tastes complicated those plans, with households seeking to introduce healthier options at the table. Kraft Heinz's net revenue has fallen every year since 2020.
