Default Re: If you are doing mailings with anybody, please read this

WOW.....okay then. With 7,300+ posts, i can see how i got missed as a sponsor. Since everyone is waiting for my response....here goes.

So Vista Print is awesome. Good for them.

Just looking at their pricing and they charge pretty much the same that i charge...as an example. 5,000 oversized postcards (5.5x8.5) But for printing only. NO DESIGN IS INCLUDED.

Good....so you can design it yourself and send it off to them to print them. Great...Go for it. I'm sure everyone can design....or they can call us, pay pretty much the same price, give or take $50 and have it designed for them from scratch, geared towards their customers, Their market, with images of their beds, targeted at the tanning community, from a veteran tanning salon owners perspective, get free advice on what promotions would work great for their setup, create a theme for them, get unlimited revisions to their design until they are satisfied with their piece before they even spend a dime because Vista does all that.......right?

Vista is so big they can guarantee their work.....who says nobody else does cuz they are smaller?

And so if someone is cheaper than Vista, then they aren't mailing it out.......because what vista says...goes....rigggght......and if they are more expensive than vista??? Then they're a rip off....gotcha. So only Vista is the best out there and use nobody else, even though you get better quality and more for your money....for about the same price.

Did i mention that we also include thicker quality cardstock then them as well as UV high gloss finish in that price and not just an AQ gloss like what they include.

I didn't want to point out the differences you get for your money, cuz i'm not about bashing other companies and don't think it's professional....i let my customers speak for me. but hey, i figure if i'm gonna get bashed for offering twice the quality finished product and free design with unlimited revisions for the same price....then i'm the idiot. You're absolutely right. It's my own fault.

I think i'm gonna raise my prices......cuz from what i read above...if i'm cheaper (same price but giving you a lot more for your money) then your jobs are not being mailed out. So this way, maybe if i'm a rip off, then at least your work is being mailed out.

What i like best though....is when we get compared to others from someone that hasn't used our services. That's the best part.

How was that Movieking....? And i didn't even say FAKEM once. I contained myself.
