Lightr
Service for sending automatic handwritten cards to customers and contacts.
Lightr is a service for sending automatic handwritten cards at key moments, such as new-customer welcomes, birthdays, complaints, winback, events, and seasonal greetings. Cards are written with a real pen by writing robots rather than by people, allowing personalized messages to be sent at scale. The service is positioned around customer loyalty, retention, and engagement.
The platform includes a design tool for creating front and back card layouts, template management, handwriting selection, and recipient uploads with additional variables for personalization. It offers an AI assistant for generating campaign-specific texts, a dashboard for order status and scan tracking, and measurable QR codes per recipient, including email and WhatsApp QR options. Shipments can be scheduled in bulk, with payment due at dispatch. Integrations include a direct API, Make.com, and Zapier, with connections to more than 7,000 apps, and automated sending from a single card.
Lightr is aimed at businesses using handwritten cards for outreach, reviews, retention, onboarding, HR milestones, complaint recovery, and event invitations. A free sample card is available, and automated sending starts from one card.
