“Check” It Out

I have to order new bank checks. Have you noticed your bank increasing the price of printing bank checks, or is it just me? I forked over $50 for two boxes of printed bank checks a few months ago! Yow. That bit the budget big time. I used to get checks through some mail-order service, but after switching to another bank, I had to re-order through the bank first (to get the routing number printed, etc). Those checks are just about used up, so now I can get my own style. :) And is it just me, or do the mail-order check printing companies look a little scammy? There are so many scams out there… I’m too nervous to order from them. I really don’t like my financial information circulating across the globe, even if it is a small sweatshop in China or India. :-p

Well, now that I am in the market for ordering new checks, something just dawned on me when I went to visit the site– VistaPrint checks! I love VistaPrint! I order through VistaPrint for my business cards and customized gift cards… I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of getting checks through them until now, duh! Isn’t this design lovely?

The fonts are customizable, and they have dozens and dozens of check designs. They even have three-to-a-page checks and computer checks in sheets for the business. And you can do everything online, instantly– and special monograms are only 99 cents extra! The checks are a fraction of what I was paying my bank. I love VistaPrint!

I highly, personally recommend VistaPrint. I’ve been doing business with them for years. They are a reliable company– they’ve grown tremendously over the past few years– and they consider customers to be their most important asset. They have a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all their products. And they have a ton of products! T-shirts, magnets, calendars, invitations, holiday cards, and tons more, for both business and personal use. VERY cool. “Check” out VistaPrint, I know you will like them!

Good Prices on Address Labels

I was scrabbling through my desk drawers the other day, in search of an address label for some mail I was sending. I haven’t sent mail in a while, and hadn’t noticed I was low on those address labels. Because I have my own small business, I try to make my correspondence look as professional as possible. I even have my own little logo for my correspondence- that circle with New York State in the center, and “New York Traveler” around the circle. It’s a nice eye-catching logo, I think. I’m going to have some new business cards printed up with the logo, to distribute to various tourism sites and companies that I have contact with. Every little thing counts!

One of the BEST places to get address labels, business cards, and just about everything and everything pertaining to printing needs, is VistaPrint. I have been giving VistaPrint my exclusive business for years. I love them! I first encountered them when a friend (an arborist) gave me his business card. It had a great design, and he said he got it free from VistaPrint.com. VistaPrint has a promotional offer for free business cards, you just pay for shipping. I tried them out, and I was so impressed that I ordered several hundred more at regular price, for my business.

Since that time, VistaPrint has expanded, and they now offer TONS of stuff: rubber stamps, t-shirts, mugs, stationery, all sorts of home office paper supplies, invitations, calendars, and more. Their selection is impressive, and their customer service is superb. I highly recommend them for any printing job you might need. They frequently have promotional offers and good deals on items. You can upload your own images for special customization, and I have found it very easy to order frme the website, too. It’s just a great company, all around.

So next time you need something for your office– be it as small as return address labels or as large as company polo shirts– check out VistaPrint!
