Default Speaking of postcards...
Vistaprint has a great deal. I was just on the website and you can order 100 postcards they will mail it for you (you can have a mailing list or they will use theirs) for around $75. So you can get them printed, sorted, stamped and mailed for that price. I thought it was pretty good. I'm thinking about it. I wish I could do just 50 though. Thought I would share.

No problem! I just like the amount of time that it saves from you collecting a mailing list, and sending everything out yourself. They ask for what zip code you'd want the list to come from and that's where I'm a little stuck.

I can see where that would be a problem with so many zip codes in our area! I would consider who your target market is and then maybe check to see where more of these types of businesses are located, or is there a specific area of the city or a suburb that you'd like to target first?

Vista Print did my business cards for me and I was quite pleased with them. At the time they also offered free magnets with the order. I printed my own postcards because I wanted a little larger size then Vista offered. But I do like the work they do for the prize.

Vista print did my business cards for me too. They were free and look great. It's a great tie in with my website. I guess I'm going to stick with the Irondequoit area. I'm going to send the general list for new business out to the local merchants and then do a specific list for the holiday postcard.

Wow Tamika that's a big number! I'm sure you may save quite a bit. I also found another site where you can upload your finished product and they will print and mail for you. The name escapes me now but it might be cheaper. If you want the info I can look into it and let you know.
