Promoting Other Stores

I am trying to decide a new way to package my orders... business cards, invoices, product samples... blah blah blah. I had the idea to maybe include business cards of other Etsy sellers. If you're interested in sending a few of your business cards to me, I'd be more than happy to send them out with my orders and help promote your store. Let me know!

Re: Promoting Other Stores

I think it is a great idea too, but maybe I should wait until I make a sale before I start offering to send out your business cards. Once I do start making sales, I would love to send out other sellers' cards. Glad to see everyone is so willing to help eachother.

Re: Promoting Other Stores

Hey--what vendors do you use for business cards? I want to get some, but am not sure how to procede. I have heard mixed reviews of vistaprint (but they have a prefab design I really like), good reviews of MOO (but I am not a huge fan of their prefab designs), and my brother is taking a graphic design class and wants to pitch me some ideas...

What did the rest of you do re: business cards?

Re: Promoting Other Stores

I had a graphic designer want to do a trade with me so she made a logo and set up a lot for my store. I also grew up in a printing family so my dad is able to get some printed for me. I have used Vistaprint before. You can upload your own image. I think their pricing is great for what you get. I like working with an actual company though. It's more personal and I think you get a better quality item for what you pay. But in a pinch... Vistaprint works!

Re: Promoting Other Stores

i have used vista prints and logo works. like both of them. also local print shops, like jiffy print,kinko's, etc. may be able to give you a better price and some graphic help.
vista prints probably has the largest selection of pre-fabs and they are very easy to customize, they run specials constantly, etc. there may even be someone with an etsy shop, who knows? check around and you will find something that strikes you right and most places have pretty comparable prices.

Re: Promoting Other Stores

I use Vistaprint and agree with other posts...Quality varies order to order. I called when I was not happy with the edges of my postcards and they re-shipped the order almost the same day.
My sister did my logo and graphics for me and I uploaded them-the prices are not bad at all.
Go to retailmenot.com and type in Vistaprint.com and see what deals are out there. As previously mentioned there are a LOT!
HTH!

Re: Promoting Other Stores

I did my own graphics and decided to use Zazzle.com (since I sell my graphic work on there and also cafepress.com). There's a lot of really cute designs that you can customize with your own info. They might be a little more pricey than vistaprint or others, but they have a MUCH bigger selection of designs to choose from! The quality is really good too. :)

Re: Promoting Other Stores

I'm in on the business card swap! Great idea. I also attend art fairs, so can have all of yours available at those.

I use vistaprint for cards with my own logo that a friend designed. I think I paid $10 for 250 or 500 business cards. They would have been free if I didn't want my own logo, etc. I may have a coupon good for 25% off on it. Alegra, if I can find it I'll convo you and mail it if you're interested in using vistaprint.

Good luck everyone, A

Re: Promoting Other Stores

What a great idea! I never even thought of business cards until reading this thread. I guess I'd better get busy and get some printed :)
