Business Card Printing for Small Business

by admin on December 5, 2007

The Marketer: VistaPrint

The Marketing Blurb: "VistaPrint is the easy design and print solution chosen by more than 11 million people worldwide."

What it Does: Anything from Business cards, Corporate Identity items, promotional pieces, return address labels and stamps etc.

The Product Link: VistaPrint

My Experience: If you have been around a while – you’ve probably seen the ads from VistaPrint for 250 free cards and that has prompted you to take a look at some of their templates – and if you are like me – you have probably wanted something more unique and creative.

Something that not many folks know is that you have the option of putting your own business card design in to the online system – and have your cards, brochures or whatever printed. You can do it all yourself if you have a good handle on good design, graphics and branding – or better still – outsource it and then when you get the file back from the designer you can upload it into vista print. Just give your designer the VistaPrint template to work from.

The process is easy to do – easy to follow and at the end you get a very professional product. For example with the business cards, great card stock, coating, cutting and colours make for a great image supported by these cards.

I like to remember that if folks are like me – the save business cards – I have a collection of them from the 80′s that I still refer too.
