There is an extremely helpful communications tool for family members who make decisions about the support and care of their aging parents and who need a simple, convenient, and cost-effective way to communicate with them.

It’s called “Presto” and it consists of a specially designed printer and online service that work together to bridge the technology gap and redefine the way families can share their lives, conversations, and information. And it does this while allowing everyone to still use the methods of communication each one prefers.

Here are the top ten reasons Presto has proven to improve the lives of parents or grandparents and all of their family members, as well.

10. Presto makes it easy to gamble on its claims. With a 60-day no-risk guarantee, you can “bet” that your parents or grandparents will love it, and if they don’t you can send it back for a full refund.

9. Presto is inexpensive. At only $14.99 a month (plus a low one-time cost for the Presto Printing Mailbox), Presto is WAY cheaper per month than adding broadband Internet, plus there are no costs or hassles with paying for a computer or additional software.

8. Presto is a “green” alternative. Even though all emails print out on paper, most parents or grandparents on the Presto system get about 2-3 emails a week. Compare that with the energy used to run a computer and monitor, and not to mention all of their packaging waste, and Presto is a winner hands down.

7. The Presto DailySmile feature connects grandkids to their grandparents by letting them “tag” photos in Facebook or upload them from a computer and automatically deliver one photo every day.

6. The Presto Newsstand feature provides free or very inexpensive content such as articles, columns, puzzles and news from many major media sources to supplement family emails and help Mom and Dad feel connected and informed.

5. Presto only delivers mail from approved family members and friends so no junk mail or spam can get through—ever!

4. The Presto Printing Mailbox connects to an existing phone line and dials out up to five times a day to quickly retrieve mail and automatically print it. So the phone never rings. The Printing Mailbox just plays a pleasing tone when the mail arrives.

3. Presto includes free phone, chat and email support for life (based in North America) which is really handy for adding approved senders to the friends list, for any questions about billing, or to troubleshoot any problems.

2. The PrestoConnect account manager web site lets you monitor Printing Mailbox connectivity, ink and paper status and lets you preschedule messages, reminders or to-do lists for Mom and/or Dad to help them stay independent while dealing with life’s little challenges (some Presto users even set up medication reminders to help their folks).

And the number one reason to get Presto for your parents or grandparents is…

1. No one in the family has to provide any tech support, because Presto truly doesn’t need any. Without the need for a computer, or Internet hardware the most difficult thing to handle is replacing paper and ink. And unlike standard printers, the Presto Printing Mailbox was specifically designed to make that easy for elders.

So there you have it. The top ten reasons we’ve been told that Presto has improved the lives of tens of thousands of moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas around the U.S. Find out more for yourself by visiting www.presto.com.
