just don't do the home printer thing, the cards look cheap. When I see these types of cards I instantly think fly by nighter, newbie or just plain
cheapo'

Gene,
Vistaprint allowed me to download a pic and put lettering over it. I got color on the front, black/white on the back and glossy for 35$ for 500 cards (they were running a weekly special). I've had cheaper cards before, not nearly as nice. I was able to put some of the service I offer on the back and keep the front clean and attractive. |

Vista print has great cards. You can upload your own designs and pics. Price is cheaper until you add shipping, then it seems to be about the same as the local
places. Once you order though, they send you TONS of coupons for your next orders. They even have free biz cards. Limited number of templates and they put
their logo on the back.

In my past life I was a marketing major. Hated the coporate scene and decided to get my hands dirty. Dont spend too much thought to business cards. Flashy isnt better. What is important is to look professional and modern. If you only list a cell number it looks shady. You have to list an address but do you really want them showing up at your house? I rent a box at the ups store but tell everyone that it is a ups store and that I dont have and dont need a show room. |

Vistaprint is listed in the website ripoffreport.com | #9 | ||

FYI,
The business name "Vistaprint" have many hits on this website. I use this see if there is any problem with a internet business before I do any business with them. Go to this website and read the problems, mainly extra charges to CUSTOMER'S credit cards. This website is also is referred to as the BAD BUSINESS BUREAU (BBB). Gene of North texas.

I've used them alot and have never been charged any extra. The rip off at ripoffreport.com is probably the report!

been using Vistaprint for yrs. Never a prob. Premium stuff is good. Free stuff looks like free stuff. Just got 100 postcards 'free' (7.95 for shipping)
They weren't completely cut, a small white border on some of them. Had to trim them myself. But usefull nonetheless.

I'll be looking at what he has to offer thanks for the Information Stan. ~ Rick

think he outsourced his stuff to eastern europe as i recall [ brochures, w/site, etc ] sound'd like good value, too.
personally we're not fans of ' free biz cards ' ESPECIALLY if the name of the printer's on the back best [the original] you-only-get-10-sec-to-make-a-1st-impression yic-yac ps - WASH THE FRIGGIN' TRK, TOO !
it is said freedom comes in 4 boxes - soap, ballot, jury, & ammo.
