Very Merry Deals at Vistaprint!

As a business owner, I need multiple items printed for Bum Luxury. My first business purchase from Vistapint was 1000 business cards earlier this year. I didn't originally plan to purchase that many, but they pulled me in with their amazing deals. When I got my cards though, my logo wasn't on them. I could swear that I put the logo on the back, but it was not there. I now just write messages on the back so it has all worked out, but I was a bit sad when my logo was missing. 

I decided to try them again when I realized I needed handouts for all the events I was doing this fall and winter. I created a brochure to pass out for people to easily see at a glance what the pros are to cloth diapering, the types of diapers and what Bum Luxury offers. It was simple to upload my image to Vistaprint and my brochure was created. I got 25 for free and when they arrived I loved the glossy paper! Actually I paid $10 for these  because it's a $4.99 fee to upload a design and I uploaded two-one front and one back. I figured that was okay though since the regular price for these is $39.99 for 25.  I also love that the brochures come folded. Some places I've researched make you pay extra for folding. I am cheap and would rather do it myself!

Vistaprint offered free shipping if I spent $50 or more, so I then decided to add more to my cart. I decided to try 50 rack cards, 25 flyers, 100 post cards, 100 handouts, 1 Tshirt, 2 tote bags, 1 pen, address labels and some product stickers. I think that's everything. I spent just over $50-just so I could get free shipping. All these items were actually free, but I paid to upload my logo to them. I was more than happy when my order arrived in less than a week! The tote bags are sturdy and hold a ton! All my print handouts go with me to each show in them. I have only worn the shirt once so far and my logo looks very professional on it. 

I was running out of brochures, so just last week I made another purchase. I just couldn't pass up their Black Friday-Cyber Monday deals! I got 25 more brochures for free, 100% free since I didn't have to pay to upload my logo! I then needed to purchase lawn signs because I'm hosting an event on Sunday and I will be posting them around the neighborhood to point people in the right direction. The smalls were free and the mediums were $5. Love them! Vistaprint has 100's of designs to choose from so I picked 4 different holiday related designs to use.

I also ordered 250 postcards free and then paid $10 for 250 more to advertise my event. I thought about paying for the mailing list and having Vistaprint mail them for me, but then decided to pass. The price for the postage alone is what made me rethink it. Yesterday as I went around spamming the parking lots of local businesses and putting them on cars, I realized it was probably worth the money! At least I got some exercise! 

After many months of waiting, I finally ordered a banner for my event booths. I had received my logo on a disk about a week before my recent move and was waiting to use the larger file size for my banner as my current size said it might be grainy. Unfortunately, after waiting all this time, the file was too large and I couldn't use it anyway! I still need to figure out how to resize it. I ended up trying the photo I already have since the banner was free and am so happy I did. The banner is a great size for my table and very sturdy. I ordered the banner holders, but when my package arrived, it came with some. Now I have a spare in case anything happens to them! 

With my last order, I also got free address labels for the holidays. It was something Vistaprint offered at the last minute. Why not? They're free and I need some new ones since I just moved! Perfect! 

Again, Vistaprint offered free shipping after $50 so I spent $56 and received so much more! I could not be happier with the service I have gotten. The prices are unbeatable-I've checked! 

For a small business owner, Vistaprint is an amazing resource to have for all of your printing needs.

Meet Me on Monday Week 22

Questions:

1.  Monday's are _________?

A day to get the house back in order after the weekend.

2.  What is your favorite kind of milkshake?

Chocolate! It needs to be made with real chocolate ice cream and not vanilla with chocolate syrup.

My favorite milk shake of all-too bad there aren't any Braum's in Arizona. :(

3.  What monthly bill do you most dislike paying? 

I don't pay the monthly bills. If I looked at our account, I might have a heart attack because my husband spends a lot of money on things and he doesn't care about the price. :( We had to make this deal a long time ago that he did all the bills and as long as I could spend money if I needed to we were good, or else I would do the bills and he'd get an allowance. He chose the former.

4.  How many email addresses do you use on a regular basis?

Two-my work email and my personal email. My work email is almost always caught up. I have about 70 emails to go through in my personal account on a regular basis. :( I need to unsubscribe from some things.

5.  What color lights are on your Christmas Tree?

We have white and blue lights on our tree. We just put it up on Saturday. I can't find my tree skirt and our tree topper broke last year, so it's not complete yet.  

This is our tree from 2009...I haven't taken one of our tree this year yet. We have the same lights on it though!

Meet Me on Monday Week 21

Questions:

1.  I wish I had more time to _________?

Wow! I could really create a long list for this. I was just talking to a friend this weekend about how I wish I had time to play video games. I know it sounds silly, but they are really fun and I enjoy them. I make time to read books, but I can't justify making time to play video games!

I started this game in 2002, but have yet to finish it. :( I will one day!

2.  What is your favorite kind of soup?

Hmmm...I guess chicken noodle. I'm not a big soup person, but I loved the Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup when I was sick growing up. 

3.  Where will you eat Thanksgiving dinner? 

This year we are going to Lee's friend's house on Wednesday for Thanksgiving dinner. Lee usually works Thursday evenings so we have to celebrate early. This year he will work early on Thursday, so we are heading to my friend's for the day. This will be my first year not making the meal in quite some time. I think I'm okay with it.

This was our spread last year. Don't pay attention to the dishes in the sink-it was time to eat.

4.  What is your favorite time of day?

Gosh, it's hard to say. I like different times depending on my mood. I could say my favorite time of day is when I eat! Hahahaha! 

5.  Did you start Christmas shopping yet?

Um....I thought about starting my holiday shopping...does that count?
