Create Your Own Virtual Pure Michigan Postcard

 
Whether you’re having a video conference with friends and family over dinner or with colleagues while working remotely, it’s important to stay connected with each other—even if we can’t gather in person. There are increasingly creative ways to keep in touch virtually, and if you want to send a greeting that will give someone a smile we’ve got the perfect thing for you: personalized, virtual postcards.
