The notes were definitely flowing in Nashville recently, and not just the musical kind! Nashville hosted a packed week of excellent events from late April into early May 2025. From April 27th to 30th, Click2Mail was proud to be in Music City as a sponsor for the National Postal Forum, connecting with leaders in the mailing and shipping industry. Just a few days later, on May 2nd and 3rd, we continued our Nashville presence by sponsoring the Diversified Mortgage Expo, a key conference for the note investing industry. We had a fantastic time engaging with attendees as trivia sponsors, testing their knowledge with fun mail-related facts, and hopefully leaving them with a little postal wisdom.
Beyond the conferences, Nashville offered a vibrant backdrop for the event. We enjoyed the city’s renowned hospitality, including a delicious dinner at Lainey Wilson’s Bell Bottoms Up bar. The local musical talent was truly exceptional. It was also amusing to see the convergence of different music worlds, with heavy metal fans in town for a Metallica concert mingling with the country music and line dancing bachelorette parties. Nashville truly knows how to host a party!
One of the most rewarding aspects of the Diversified Mortgage Expo was connecting with our existing Click2Mail clients. Since our service is designed to be self-serve and easy to use, direct interaction with customers is a rare treat. Meeting them in person served as a wonderful reminder that behind every mailing there are real people and businesses we are helping. It reinforced our core motto: we make mail easy.
During conversations with one client, a recurring word caught our attention: “paper.” In the direct mail world, “paper” is, of course, a constant topic of discussion – the weight, the stock, the finish. We asked our client why “paper” was so significant in the mortgage note industry, and learned that it’s the term commonly used to refer to the mortgage note itself – the crucial legal document that serves as the borrower’s promise to repay the loan. It was a fascinating parallel and a neat moment of shared appreciation for the tangible nature of important documents, whether they’re mortgage notes or direct mail pieces.
The Diversified Mortgage Expo was a valuable experience, offering insights into the dynamic world of note investing and providing us with the chance to connect with clients and industry professionals. We look forward to future opportunities to engage with this community and continue demonstrating how Click2Mail makes sending essential mail effortless.
