I am not so sure about the list...I ordered my office goods at VistaPrint and it worked out just fine for me but check out this page....others were not as lucky so I am not sure how responsible they are at that company.

Hi there,
I order business cards from them all the time. I recently ordered post cards and a car magnet...they were free( I just had to pay for shipping) Once you order from them they send you all kinds of products to try for free. My post cards 100 free...since I am just starting the business and trying to keep expenses low I use them all the time.

Hope this helps

I was wondering how well the mailing lists are with Vistaprint especially for marketing and if anyone got any results for it.

Great site. I was amazed of all the complaints. I have used Vista Print for almost a year for their free products and never had a problem. The scary thing is some of the post are very recent.

I have used Vistaprint for business cards and few other items for a few years now and I have never had any problems with them whatsoever.

So far so good with Vista print.. They actually host my website, I got my t-shirt, hat, stationary and some other things from them, so far so good.

I will move to a higher quality of print work from them next time I order business cards. I just ordered my oversize postcards thorugh their free promotion. I was thinking of going with thier option for a mailing list within my zip code, but opted out.

After I try this first attempt with the postcards and they go well, I may try ordering more and using their contact list for marketing to customers, I will let you know how it goes..

I often wonder too if the networking aspect of marketing in this industry is more successful because we can sometimes be catering to the less computer literate clients, thus if we are buying email databases we might likely be targeting customers almost too computer literate, perhaps not our market? Just a thought, networking seems to work wonders and I just wondered if this might be why.

I think creating your own mailing list is definitely the best way to go. You can then guarantee that you're reaching exactly who you need to reach.

I wouldn't use VistaPrint for your postcards though. SLPrintCenter.com is not only cheaper but also much better quality. Their postcards generated more sales than the ones we got from VistaPrint... by far

Where do you gather information from when making up your own mailing list?

I had no idea they had mailing lists available. I will have to look deeper into that while I am looking at their products to order!

I'm about to place an order with VistaPrint for business cards (as soon as my registration is approved by the State and I know for sure I can KEEP my business name! LOL)... thanks for the feedback on the service... and for the comments about the mailing list purchase option... will contemplate that once things are rolling along more for my business...although I tend to think that initially I may just use the list of my own contacts to start...

I've decided that I am not initially going to get a mailing list from VistaPrint. Although I haven't landed a client just yet - I have had great luck in networking myself and making contacts through various business networking sites. I've confident that will go a long way for me.

I recently use VistaPrint for business cards and postcards. The business cards were not of the quality I had anticipated. However, I was satisfied with the postcards.

I think that I will prefer to go with my own mailing list. It's a control thing for me. I can target the audience that I want to reach and know for sure that information was sent to them.

Guess I never thought of purchasing a list for this purpose. I just want to try and get my name out there so customers who need me find me. Hope this works
