Postcards

Where do I look to have some postcards made up with my name, address, and a custom message? There is no where in this little town and the local office supply looks at me like I'm crazy.

What I want is postcards that say Happy Birthday and is also a coupon for a free session or upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.

Neon, I make my own. I buy them at Office Depot and print them at home. They run about $25 for 40.

If you go to vistaprint.com you can make business cards and they also have a section for letterhead, postcards etc. I've used them a few different times and I've been very happy with the quality and turnaround time.

Thank you for your replies, I will check out these websites and go from there.

Tangirl, you must have some sort of software to be able to design your own?

Neon - You can download the software off of the internet. The company that makes the postcards is Avery and they have a wonderful website with all of the design software that you need.

If you don't have time to make your own try MailLink. I sent out cards in Mid December (Cost less than $200 for 500) and the response has been more than I expected. Tanners I have not seen in many months signed up again! The postcards are clean and professional. Feel free to send me PM if you want more info. Two thumbs up for MailLink.

Visit their website www.GoTanMail.com

I hope this was helpful.

I designed our postcards and bought the card stock from Office Max and ran the copies, bought the labels and printed them up off Suntouch and mailed them. I have 5000 clients in my database so the only pricy thing was the postage. I had fun making them though.

I think that was the best part was designing them myself. And, knowing that I could print them at my leisure and not have to worry about when some company would send them to me.

You can also make different types with one packet of postcards. Such as Birthday, We Miss You, etc., instead of being stuck buying a large volume of only one kind.
