Lets all place a vistaprint order...

[bigdave]

Don't worry, I've not gone completely mad but I genuinely believe it will benefit us all to place a business card order with vistaprint.

I've been musing this one over for a couple of days now and can't think of a better way to show prospective clients what sort of product they'll get for free/very cheap, than if you present them with a vistaprint printed card.

Thoughts?....

I've just looked at the Vistaprint website. There's a choice of "280gsm premium paper with a blank backside" - or standard paper with a printed backside - which would you choose ?

[Corrosive]

which would you choose ?

Ooh, ooh... Paper for me. That sounds durable. :icon_yucky:

I have about 500 vistaprint cards from when I started out abut 2 and a half years ago...never used them. But yes good idea - actually gained by showing a customer the difference between their odd sized, 250ishgsm card to a 85x55 400gsm matt laminated, only costs them about £15 more per 500 I believe

We have a small supply. New clients sometimes arrive clutching Vista print cards saying I know this is awful - can you redesign / produce a proper card? At least you can use the information on the card.

Vistaprint refugees is the internal term. So sad. Often they say... I know, I was trying to save money... now I've had to pay twice.

I suppose the role is to obtain cheap cards - see if the business succeeds - then do it properly. The danger is a reduction in chances of success from the outset by burning credibility.

Mr Young - I cannot believe you even admited that!

I have a chap who does my picture framing, i often show customers his vista print card and ask them what they think.

I had a chap in a few weeks ago who asked for business cards then explained to me that he had a cheaper "quote" (vista print £5) i explained and showed him what he would get.

When you hand someone a Vista print card it basically say's that you have no idea about business and are winging it.

I've just been trhough and 'designed' some cards on vista print. got as far as completing the order and it said they want £6 for postage!! I don't want to prove a point that much!! I'll just pinch the ones my sister had done! lol
