VistaPrint Holiday Photo Cards review

Regular readers know that I like Vistaprint and recommend them highly. I think their products are some of the best values in stationery products out there. Many people don’t know that along with business cards, post cards, note cards, calendar magnets, business card magnets, window decals, address labels, rubber stamps and pens, VistaPrint also offers holiday photo cards.

VistaPrint has many styles of holiday photo cards. They have flat photo cards, folded photo cards and foil accented cards. They even offer collage cards that can show up to six pictures. All of the cards can be personalized with your own photos and text of your own.

Cards are easy to customize. The first step is to select your card from the hundreds of available designs. Then upload your picture (or pictures). The recommended resolution is a minimum of 300 ppi, and the maximum size the picture file can be is 10 mb.The next step is to enter the greeting you want on the front of the card. Then specify if you want the back of the card to be blank or contain text. That’s it! That’s all there is to making personalized photo holiday cards at VistaPrint. When checking out you’re shown any matching related products and given the option to add them, as is standard with any VistaPrint purchase. Last, choose your delivery option and pay and you’re finished.

I love photo cards. They seem so much more personal then text cards. I’m running late this year, I have to get to work on our holiday cards today or tomorrow. Have you written or sent our your holiday cards yet?

Use car magnets to get attention to your blog locally

If you’ve had a blog for a while then you’ve found yourself looking for different ways to increase your traffic. As you learn what works and what doesn’t you keep looking for better ways to bring in even more traffic. You visit other blogs and leave comments. You participate in memes. You update frequently. You may have even gotten some business cards made from Vistaprint with your blog url on them, and handed those out. All great ways to spread the word, but they require some form of one on one contact. There is another way to bring more traffic to your blog that you may have overlooked that doesn’t require that level of contact. I’m talking about car magnets. Think about it. As you drive around town you stop at a light and do what? You look around. So do the other people around you. Let’s say one or two people see the magnet and check out your site. You’ve gained two new readers. Maybe they’ll mention your blog to friends and you’ll get some more. And so it continues every day. We can all use some more traffic, couldn’t we? I know I’ve met lots of people online but I bet there are more people online that know about my blog then there are locally.

Vistaprint makes all sorts of personal and business products. Those that I have personally gotten myself are business cards, pens, post cards, calendar magnets, business card magnets, window decals, address labels, rubber stamp and note cards.(I think that’s all of them but it’s possible there are more. I LOVE Vistaprint.) Vistaprint products can be personalized and they’re always adding new things. I receive their specials in my email and always look forward to the latest sale announcement. If you’re in the mood to shop right now, use coupon code CarDoor25 to receive 25% off car door magnets at Vistaprint. Have fun shopping and happy advertising. I’ll look for you around town!

Do you order checks online?

I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. I love Vistaprint. They have all sorts of personalized and customizable stationery items for both personal and business use. I myself have ordered quite a few things from them including return address labels, a rubber stamp, small magnets, large calendar magnets and post cards. Today I ordered some other items including sticky notes, thank you note cards, a pen, a hat and a portable stamp. I have no doubt that I will be pleased with the quality of everything, as always.

What you might or might not know that Vistaprint is now selling both personal and business checks. If you’re tired of paying your bank an arm and a leg for checks and are looking to save money and order checks online then you might want to take a look at Vistaprint. Like other Vistaprint products, the checks that they carry can be customized. They offer a nice selection of styles to choose from for both personal and business use. You could even try and coordinate your checks with your business card for a really professional appearance.

Vistaprint is offering a discount on check orders right now. When you’re finished shopping, use coupon code “checks25” when you check out and you will receive 25% off your check purchase. Be sure to sign up for their email specials while you’re there, they usually offer some unbelievable deals. I’ve loved Vistaprints products for a long time. I bet that if you try them you’ll love them too.

Promoting your blog in person

While I was in the waiting room out in Philadelphia today I was speaking with two other parents. In the course of the discussion I happened to mention that I have several blogs online. One of the women sort of tilted her head and asked me what I meant. I explained what a blog was and she told me she’d never read one but it sounded interesting. She asked how to find mine and I gave her the url to this blog. But then I decided it might be helpful if I were prepared for this question if it, or one like it, arose again. I think I need a new set of business cards. Without a doubt I’ll get them from Vistaprint.

Vistaprint has the biggest selection of affordable personal and business printing needs. They carry everything you can think of to help you promote whatever it is you want to promote. I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s worth mentioning again. I have personally been thrilled with any Vistaprint product I’ve ever ordered. I’ve ordered large postcards, large calendar magnets, small magnets, business cards and address stickers. Over the years Vistaprint has expanded their product line to include rubber stamps, checks, pens, clothing, note cards, invitations and announcements and car door magnets. Their products are easily personalized, with customization of designs, fonts, images, colors and text available. If you need to promote something without spending a lot of money, go check out Vistaprint. Be sure to check their page for specials, they usually have some good ones.

Vistaprint, affordable printing for everyone

I fell in love with VistaPrint years ago, and have been satisfied with every item I’ve gotten from them. They may have started out with business cards, but over the years they’ve expanded to become a complete one stop shop for personal and business printing needs.

Vistaprint recently expanded their product line. In addition to the post cards, small and large magnets, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, flyers and brochures they’ve added even more! They now carry notepads, note cards, checks, invitations, announcements, holiday cards, stickies, runner stamps, custom pens, tshirts, hats, return labels and car door magnets.

At one time or another I have ordered more than half of the products Vistaprint carries. The quality has been fantastic, and the value can’t be beat. Everything can be customized. Some of the customizations available include design, font, text color, text placement and images. Many of the different items they offer can be ordered with matching designs, making it easy to create a professional appearance without spending a fortune. If you need to order some products for business or home, check out Vistaprint. At any given time when you go to their site they have several products that you can try out for free or at a nice discount. And, if you sign up for their mailing list they’ll email you specials too!

Vistaprint rubber stamp special

I’ve used Vistaprint to get free post cards, small magnets, business post cards and return address labels. The quality of everything I’ve gotten from them has been terrific. Other popular products that Vistaprint carries include stickies, invitations, stationery, pens, tshirts, car door magnets, letterhead, cards, checks and marketing brochures.

What people might not realize is that Vistaprint now offers business stamps. Like most Vistaprint products, the stamps are customizable so you can get them to look exactly the way you want. There are different styles to choose from, I promise they carry something for everyone there.

I ordered a cheapy stamp from another company last year that I never got to use, not even once, because it arrived dead in the box. I ordered a stamp from Vistaprint this morning and I know from experience the stamp I oprdered will work. As usual, while I was on their site I found four other things I wanted to order as well. I created some pens and notepads too. If you’ve never been to Vistaprint, you don’t know what you’re missing!

Vistaprint is offering my readers a nice discount if they order a rubber stamp. All you need to do is shop and upon checkout use coupon code “Stamp25” and you will receive 25% off your stamp order. Happy shopping!
