I can’t believe it’s the end of October! Where does all this time go?! Our biggest holiday of the year is Thanksgiving– just one month away! We exchange gifts during that time, too, so I really need to be on the ball. I am sadly behind this year, it’s just gone too fast.

One great gift idea I lean toward every year is VistaPrint. I first heard about them when a young man handed me one of his business cards (he was a tree cutter and we had a dangerous dead tree). He said that he got his cards from VistaPrint– for free! I visited the website and was completely wowed by the selection and the prices there, especially by the lovely photo cards that can be customized. (I like the personal touch for my cards). I tried out VistaPrint’s business cards, and was so happy with my purchase that I bought more for me and my daughter. I now go to VistaPrint for all my printing needs. They are reliable, trustworthy, very professional, offer great ideas and designs, and have excellent prices! For example, you’ll see that some holidays photo cards are on sale right now for $3.99. That’s NOT $3.99 each like it is in the stores– that’s $3.99 for a bundle! And you can have the cards with your own photo and your own message, shipped to your door! I think it’s a great deal.

I highly recommend VistaPrint. They have everything! And they do a terrific and timely job. Check out their website for more ideas and information.

You’ve got a great blog, a great template, good content, but you need more readers! What to do? Why not promote your blog offline? This is the “in” thing to do these days– buy business cards or t-shirts and promote your site! I bought business cards for my travel blogs, and I love them! I got them through VistaPrint, one of my absolute favorite printing websites. I first heard of Vista from the guy who cut down a large tree on my property. He had the nicest business cards, and he said he got them for free from VistaPrint. Vista offers free, simple cards for people to try out. I took them up on their offer, and was so impressed with their customer service and pricing that I bought a whole box of customized cards for my travel blogs. I leave my card when we travel, or use them to give to people who are interested in our excursions.

I’m planning on getting some t-shirts printed up for us with my logo, and possibly expanding my new cards to include all my blogs. I highly recommend VistaPrint. They have more than cards and t-shirts, too! They have car magnets, rubber stamps, invitations, stationery, sticky pads, wall decals, calendars, and loads and loads more– and everything is fully customizable. And their prices make me very happy. :) They have some free products if you are timid about jumping right in (but you needn’t be). And I have a handy little promotional code for you for your order at VistaPrint. Ready?

Use the code VPRINT25 for 25% Off your purchase, site-wide, at VistaPrint.

Send your kids off to school with a t-shirt promoting your website, or have a business card with your url on it– how cool is that! I love VistaPrint, and I know you will, too! Check them out!

Well, we went out today for a little car trip! FINALLY! I’ve been so cooped up this summer, it’s awful! We took a drive out to a little museum, and then went to the country to a great park. I’ll be blogging about it on my travel blog.

Choosing where to go wasn’t easy this time. We’ve been to just about every (free admission) place in my county. I didn’t have any brochures for any of the other surrounding counties, and their online web tourism sites aren’t terribly informative. I purposely look for the odd-end, small museum, but BOY they are hard to find. Don’t the businesses know that they’d get much more business if they promoted themselves a little? Sure, if you go to the printing shop, expect to pay an arm and a leg. But things are changing, because now there’s VistaPrint! Brochures designed fast and easy, and inexpensively! I have used VistaPrint services, and I love them to pieces!

You don’t need to own a business to print brochures, either (although every tourist attraction should definitely have them!). You can have brochures printed up for family reunions, picnics, anniversaries, anything! That’s what I love about VistaPrint– they’ll do anything YOUR way. The only limit is your own creativity.

Printer ink is waaaay too expensive. Let VistaPrint take over! And here’s a coupon code for ya– use this code in your order: FreeBrochures08 and get 25 free brochures. I think I may just plan a special event, just to get some brochures printed up! I plan on making some of my own “New York Traveler” t-shirts and magnets with VistaPrint sometime soon.

Hey, have any printing needs? Business cards, cards, notes, stationery, rubber stamps, invitations, announcements (whew!), and more? VistaPrint has it! I love VistaPrint and I have been a customer of VistaPrint for several years now. I’ve had all my business cards printed through them (they allow complete customization, which is what I love best about them) and I encourage all my family members to go through them. Their stationery is beautiful (yes, I am one of those weirdos who still do write letters), and their card selection is really neat. They allow for complete customization. I am a real stickler for that! I must customize, because I don’t like the “cookie cutter” cards and stationery that more expensive places churn out. And VistaPrint is a fast shipper. I’ve always received my stuff in a few days. I am so impressed with the company that I really can’t sing their praises enough.

And guess what? I’ve got a link where you can find vistaprint coupons for you to save even more money! Check it out. I have personally bought stuff from VistaPrint and I love them! I think you will, too!
