Vistaprint hasn’t got a chance

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

IMPACT recently began offering print services to its clients.  After pricing our services around, we discovered that we are REALLY inexpensive compared to Staples, Kinko’s and even local print shops.

The one thing I keep hearing though is, “I get my cards from Vistaprint“…

Let me take a moment to set the record straight here.  In an apples-to-apples comparison, OUR PRICES STOMP VISTAPRINT’S!  Don’t believe me?  Follow along:

Vistaprint premium cards:

250 cards: $19.99
100lbs paper upgrade: $12.99
Color on the back: $12.99
Uploaded image: $4.99
Total: $50.96 (BEFORE SHIPPING)

Our identical cards?

$25 before shipping.  Period.

Bit of a difference there, ehh?

Now, as a bit of a disclosure, we don’t typically reccommend a Vistaprint-level product to our clients.  We can provide it, but we tend to suggest a product with a bit more sizzle like 14pt paper with rounded corners.  It’s amazing what a difference the upgrade in paper stock and rounded corners can make.

Taking it a step further, IMPACT can design and execute the most elaborate of cards with die cuts, Pantone metallics, embossing or whatever you can imagine to create an awesome custom solution for your business.

Whether you need creative or already have it, when looking for business cards and other print solutions, consider us…  and know that the “value” players online don’t necessarily deliver the value that you are assuming they do…

Some ballpark pricing is available in a past post.  However, please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
