Stationary, Business Cards and Labels Oh My!

I have been selling Avon out of my home for almost five years now, and the biggest expense I have is stationary. We all know marketing can be the difference between a good business and a popular business, no matter what the size. Business cards, mailing labels, coupon cards and giveaway calendars can be the face of your business for potential and existing customers. I started out printing labels and business cards at home, but it proved too time consuming and expensive. A package of 350 Avery labels is $30, plus ink and the time you spend formatting your template. I got 420 labels for $24. The design was much better than anything I could have achieved on my own, allowing my professionalism to shine through to my customers. I had matching business cards made up and it only cost me $30 for 500 cards. Avery wanted $33 for only 400, and again I would have to fight with the printer. I sent Christmas cards to all 200 clients last year, and it only cost me $50 to have them all printed up with envelopes! My advice to those of you who want to streamline your paper-marketing needs is to use Vistaprint. You can order online and have your order shipped anywhere in the world. I know this sounds like I have shares in Vistaprint, but I dont! I just really like the ease of it all. Anyway, give it a try.
