Need Marketing Materials? Try VistaPrint!

As you may or may not know, Waters Designs does graphic work like logos and branding materials for our clients. We’re often asked who we recommend for printing and up until recently, we generally directed our clients to their local printers.

If you’re in need of printed marketing materials, I recommend you give VistaPrint a try.

Until last year, the only thing I knew about this company was that you could order very inexpensive business cards if you chose from their canned designs and it would include the VistaPrint logo on the back. Honestly, I just thought they were a cheap printing company and got what you paid for.

Man, was I wrong!

My perception of VistaPrint changed when I needed some brochures printed last fall. After comparing prices to several online companies, I decided to place a small order and give them a try.

I have ordered several times since. Here’s what I love about this company…

Value: The quality was excellent and the prices very competitive. Once you place your first order and get on their mailing list, they regularly send emails about specials and free offers. Who doesn’t like free stuff???

Versatility: You can create your own artwork (or hire Waters Designs) and upload it to VistaPrint. Or select from their hundreds of stock layouts and images.

Selection: VistaPrint sells business cards, brochures, notepads, pens, folders, flyers, postcards, tee shirts, hats, keychains, lawn signs, car door magnets and more!

Most of our orders arrive within 1- to 2-weeks, as I usually take advantage of their free shipping offers. I believe faster shipping offers are available too.
