Default Inexpensive Printing

I found a printing service that offers inexpensive printing they offer business cards, magnet cards , magnet calenders, post cards and a assortment of other printing items . They have monthly specials whom i prefer. Most of their monthly specials require you to pay shipping costs only The last one they emailed me was 250 bus. cards for 7.99 . I hope this is not breaking the rules Jeff . Interested their web site is www.vistaprint.com.

I have used them for cards before. They always have free business cards all you pay is shipping. Reliable company ... never been disapointed with their product or service.

The deal in printing is always in volume. My local guy does 2000 oversize cards on screamin' green astrobrite stock for about $45. At that rate, every 250 costs $5.63. I bet your guy would like a 2000 card order.

I don’t know if any of you use postcards but I just had 5000 designed by purepostcards.com. They have an excellent customer support and a patient design team. The base price for 5000 postcards was $329.00. I paid an additional $225 to have mine perforated so that the recipient can tear my business from the edge of the postcard. The total cost was $649.00. Once I attach the .23 cent stamp to each one, they’ll cost me just under .36 cents each. I have always tried to keep an accurate database of my past & present customers’ information. I’ll send these cards to past customers that I haven’t heard from in a while just to get my card in their hands again, as well as target them to new potential customers. The power of suggestion comes into play when people who wouldn’t have otherwise given windshield repair much thought until they receive the postcard in the mail. This database has been my best marketing tool to date.

Errr..sorry to say this but I've used vistaprint with ok results. I designed my own card and sent it to them. Requested a proof and printed it out..came out great. But when I got my cards, all 1000 cards were pixalated. A set of 250 were misaligned. But overall, it's still usable. I would say you get what you pay for. I'd recommend locally next time 'cause you can always go back and return it instead of shipping it back and wait for the outcome.

I use a local printer for cards and invoices, they have sent me enough repairs to pay for what I've bought from them. Keep your money local it will come to you.

A while back I had my local printing guy blow up my 2.5" by 3.5" oversized card into 4" by 5.5" postcards - both in green astrobrite. I use them for bulletin boards together with some regular sized cards thumb-tacked on top. Also, I use them for reminders and thank-you notes with a white label stuck on for the message.

I have a friend who owns a locksmith service he also uses postcards cure4glass, he says that they are his best marketing tool also. I am going to try it also I think it could be a good marketing tool . For 36 cents you can advertise to many more potential customers including fleet accounts than convential advertising
