The Challenge: Scaling Handwritten Holiday Cards Without Losing Heart
At Grace Church, our mission is to share the love of Jesus deeply and personally—with every visitor, livestream viewer, volunteer, military family, and donor feeling seen and valued.
Every holiday season, we commit to sending hundreds of handwritten cards filled with scripture, encouragement, and warm blessings. But in a busy ministry environment, this heartfelt tradition became a logistical challenge.
Writing each card by hand required dozens of volunteer hours. Our team often stayed late into the night, hands aching and wrists sore, trying to maintain that personal touch. The process was emotionally rewarding but physically unsustainable.
We faced a difficult choice: either automate and risk losing the personal connection or continue exhausting ourselves to scale this act of love by hand.
The Solution: UUNA TEK® iAuto — Authentic Handwriting, Automated
Discovering the UUNA TEK iAuto Auto-Feeding Handwriting Machine changed everything.
Unlike a typical printer, the iAuto uses real pens and mimics genuine handwriting strokes to produce notes that look and feel authentically personal.
We simply uploaded our custom messages, loaded our thick holiday cards, and pressed “start.” The machine automatically fed each card, writing with precise, graceful strokes that perfectly captured our intended warmth.
What previously took a full week to complete was now finished in just one day—freeing up our volunteers and staff.
Impact on Our Ministry
The iAuto has become an essential ministry partner, helping us:
-
Save Time: Cut production time by over 80%, reducing 30+ volunteer hours to just a few.
-
Maintain Authenticity: Recipients were amazed by how genuine the handwriting looked—even learning it wasn’t done by a human hand.
-
Expand Our Reach: The scalable process enables us to send more cards to more people than ever before.
-
Relieve Volunteers: Staff and volunteers can now focus on deeper outreach and ministry goals instead of manual writing.
