    I need to get a box or 2 of business card printed. How are you using and what are you paying? They are multi-colored and may or may not be just 1 sided.

    I've heard of them, but have yet to try. I'll check out their prices.

    I might want to do some colored flyers too or large/think oversized cards.

    Got a mailer from them this week for a special on postcard mailer cards.
    Not something I need, but for a regular business, the price was right on them.
    My little side business of doing the stainless trim is jumping.
    Was over at the collector car auction yesterday to get some more head's up on the cars as they come in for the sale Monday and was approached by three new clients for the service.
    When I asked how they knew of me, in all three cases it was referals from some poeple I had done work for or a couple of bodyshops in the area I had talked to.
    Looks like I have created a monster with this thing, more work than I may want.

    Vistaprint is AWESOME at just about anything that has to do with marketing.

    That said, my last round of cards came from GotPrint They can do rounded corners and glossy, which Vistaprint couldn't. Shipping was absolutely atrocious, but that probably won't be an issue for you. The cards were perfect, colors were perfect, printing was perfect, no complaints at all.

    Good to know your side-business is doing well. A nice little niche there!

    Accumulatorette is very happy with her cards from VistaPrint

    One of these days I gotta get some cards made up that explain about the Beaucerons, I get tired of answering the "what kind of dog is that?" questions all the time.

    I used Vista Print on a promotion they had. They must have got together and decided to put millions into Google AdWords. There wasn't a website I went on that didn't pop up with a VP add. That being said, they do sneak in charges, but it was still reasonable and fairly easy to use. I got tricked thinking the back of the card came with the premium design I paid for, but they charged an extra $7 for it. That is my fault, so just make sure you look at the charges carefully. I set a budget, it was met and so I clicked purchase. All it had on the back was my slogan and website, which pretty much cost the same as the design on the front. I'll be careful the next time.

    But in the end, each card is less than a nickel and it took 10 minutes to do (after searching through designs for a 1/2 hour).

    Another +1 for VistaPrint, got 500 cards for $10. Its kind of annoying when you go through checkout and they ask you if you're interested in pretty much everything under the sun, but if you just click through without buying anything you can a good standard business card for cheap.
