Title: Business Cards not to be missed!!!
Post by: Deep Clean Newcastle Gateshead on April 29, 2008, 10:25:32 pm
Just spoke to my printers and he says he is happy to run a special for carpet cleaners if any one is interested

Its for 5000 (5k) of business cards full colour 400gsn (Decent card) printed both sides for £99 inc VAT and Free Delivery.

Ask for Martyn Young on 0191 501 8041 he says to mention the carpet cleaners promo so he knows who you are.

Hope this helps some of ya

Sounds like a good deal but 5000 business cards would last me about 10 years!!

I know mark, I just use them as promotional cards and put a 10% discount on the back, leave about 20-50 in all my local shops etc

if you have the artwork in the right format you can get 5000 from printcarrier.com for £55.00. Their quality is second to none.

I ordered 5000 once and ended up using them as leaflets to good effect. People like calling/business cards especially the older generation.  I think they feel its like ID and carrys more weight then a leaflet. They are constantly being told not to buy from leaflets and to check ID. Could do a card with your boat race on it.

Thats a good price, I will have to get rid of my 5000 first, however mine are on 400 art board not 300 gsm so bit heavier, all the same though £55 is cheep

a lot of these offers from 'printers' are just subbing the work to printcarrier.

As Prodry said, Printcarrier will do this job for £55, so some printer are just acting as artwork designers, then sending it to Printcarrier.

I'm not saying this as criticism of any printers, after all the printing is the easy bit, its the leaflet design  that requires the brains & skill.

I know one printer  who does just this, he was bragging the other day that soon he'll be doing all his work sat on a beach in the Caribbean everything will be done by wireless email & the Internet

The trouble with Vista print is , you can only have there designs, and thats ok if you are just starting out, but if you want a re run of what you already have it cant be done! they are based in Holland

Stuart,

You can upload your own logo's & pictures if you want, and when you want to reorder you just wait for them to email you ( which is nearly every day ! ;)) and then log in and reorder what ever is free that week, including previous cards you've designed etc, you just have to get a grasp of how the system works.

It works well for me as i have made the mistake before of ordering thousands of a certain card only to want to change my design or offer etc, this way you dont get no waste.

yes they are based in holland but youcan choose what postage you like, i obviously opt for the cheapest  ;D
