Summer is officially here, and if you aren't already at the beach, I'm sure your thoughts are periodically drifting toward it. But while summer does offer a prime opportunity to relax in the sun and take a vacation, well all know too well that the marketing can't really stop either.
So as true marketing geeks, we wanted to share with you some fun postcards that will inspire you to be a better marketer, even in the hot summer months. Feel free to share these with your coworkers and friends using the social sharing buttons on the left-hand side of this post or via the 'Pin It' buttons below each postcard!

These are very nice -- and I really admire the idea of designing stuff for Pinterest and inviting readers to help share it!

Happy 4th of July! Thank you for the lovely cards - I had difficulty choosing, and it's so nice to know that you can Pin without contravening any licence.

Nice!
You should put them in a video with music, like your marketing quotes!

Best to embed the Pin It button description without the URL shortener. Pinterest has decided that's spam, so if anyone clicks your gorgeous postcard from Pinterest, they get a spam warning. Alas.

Thanks for the tip, Betsy. I tried that for the first card but we are still getting an error. Filed a support ticket with Pinterest and hope this will get fixed soon. Hope you still enjoyed the post!

Awesome postcards. I love them all. It is really great to see you walk the talk of getting traction on Pinterest with cool, shareable images. I hope we can learn from this, create some cool postcards or images.

These are fantastic!

Pretty cards, useful facts, but the visuals end up being gratuitous, letting the cards slip perilously close to the fast-growing category of content as clutter. You'll better serve both your company and your social community by creating better visual+verbal concept combinations.

@Magdalena - it's not a support issue for Pinterest. In order to shut down the affiliate marketing, we've been told they've flagged shortened urls as spam and you're taken to that very unfriendly warning page. Hope that helps.

Pinterest is still led by tight rules of play, like show a benefit but never blatantly show your ad. It will get spammed,damned, and banned.
