Suggestions? Sure do! If the post office needs money why not sell a spot on the postage stamps? Pay a million dollars and get your face on one issue of stamps. Second issue, double the price and no more spots for former buyers for the next few years.
Or maybe instead of faces company logos. Or cancellation stamps with a persons name on it if they buy a special envelope.

With todays computer technology, it should be possible for anybody to make their own custom stamps. (Not currently advised unless you want a visit from the USSS.)

I would have no issues with sponsored stamps. If companies played it right, they could feature retro logos as an exploration of the history of their company or the art of marketing. Heck, why not offer a nickle discount for a sponsored stamp....
NASCAR sponsors? NFL helmets? New fall TV shows? New movie releases? I don’t care.
