BUT, there is a trick to this. You see, Vista Print offers these products for free because they know once you're on the site placing an order you are more likely to spend on "upgrades," extra products and fast shipping - which is where they make their money. However, if you follow my tutorial below, you'll get the biggest bang for your buck...
Step 1:
Visit VistaPrint.com and join - which is free...
Step 2:
LOG OFF! They don't offer the good stuff to you on your first visit! So just log off and give it a day.
Step 3:
VistaPrint will email you every few days with "sale" emails. THIS is what you want! Whenever you get the email from them go through the list of FREE items they are offering you. While each email is going to be different here is a list of basics that you can usually get and that are AWESOME for growing your business!
- Business Cards
- Post Cards
- T-Shirt
- Small Rubber Stamp
- Car Magnets
- Mailing Labels (I use these as sticker Ads)
- Magnets
- Sticky Notes
- Lawn Signs
Take some time to design your products, make them perfect!
Step 5:
You DO have to pay for shipping, although the products are free. Do NOT let them upsell you on the shipping!!! While they say the "slowest" shipping takes a long time to arrive, it rarely takes more than 5-7 days to arrive. So unless you need your products this week, do yourself a favor and use the slowest route this will save you HUGE on shipping costs!
Step 6:
Enjoy your growing business when you use these products!
Key Points & Other Tips-
- Vista Print makes their money on upsells by charging more than they are worth, so don't go for the stuff that's not free or hugely discounted!
- You do have to pay shipping, so always go for the cheapest option.
- Occasionally you will have the option to earn free expedited shipping when you spend so much, usually this is a good deal. So take it when you can.
- Take the time to create the best products you can, these products will speak for your business even when you can't!
