Newsletter 23.05.07 – VistaPrint
Hello again,
I’ve been asked a few times if Build Me A Website can supply business cards, unfortunately we don’t. But what I can do is recommend a company that I’ve been using for a few years now.
The last time I used VistaPrint I came away with a great bargain. I was ordering 1000 business cards just to test the water before going for a bulk order, as I was completing the order process I was asked if I would like another 500 cards for only an extra £7.50. I accepted the offer which brought the price per card down by around a third.
All new customers can get 250 business cards for free and every couple of weeks or so they send out further offers by email.
One thing I need to make you aware of before you place an order is a little thing they do that catches a few people out. When your creating an account/placing an order there will be a tick box or even just a little bit of small print that refers to VPRewards or ClubPrem, it will cost you £9.95 a month, don’t sign up for it you don’t need it. Its a rewards club, they are suppose to send you details of special offers in your local high street stores and from what I’ve heard the offers are far and few between.
Signing up for VPRewards/ClubPrem can easily be avoided by being sure what you are clicking on as it does say what you are about to do, and you could miss it by just clicking away and not reading properly what it is you are actually agreeing to.
If you do end up signing up for it by mistake don’t worry as its easy to unsubscribe, to be sure just keep an eye on your bank statements after placing your order.
Sorry if that all sounded a bit negative but I would sooner you know about it and not get caught out.
A positive note, your VistaPrint account remembers your previous orders which makes it so easy to re-order more cards. They offer so much more than just business cards, I have a client who has used them for his letter headed paper, flyers, business cards, wedding invitations and lots more.
The card below is if I remember rightly one of the free 250 business cards I received when I opened my account, its not brilliant but it did a job for me and thats all I needed at the time.
VistaPrint are certainly worth a look.
Hope this helps, chat soon.
John
