Who is a good but inexpensive company to use that has already pre tanning cards made up. All you would need to due is drop your logo and coupon in. Please exclude Grip and Gotanmail.Thanks

I can get you a postcard designed for around $150. Then point you in the right direction for one awesome printer who is the cheapest and provides awesome results in less than a week.

Simply stated, Separacolor is the best and cheapest that I've seen in a long time. We have them print anywhere between 1000-5000 postcards per month and the results have been great. You can find them on their website - http://www.simplypostcards.com/

Use postcardsale as the coupon code and you will save a ton.

Try going to your local printer. If you give them the layout, tell them to make it look good. Our printer doesn't even charge anything for their work, just for the printing (if you give them a basic layout first). We mail out birthday postcards that give everyone a free tan for their b-day. That have been great advertising (all of our local postal carriers tan with us too). I was in the bank drive thru one day and saw in the car next to me, a post card that had been printed 5 years ago (when we used Printmaster and did it ourselves). Since they never expire, they might sit around for a long time, especially if someone has a package and they want to "save" the free one. We stopped doing it for about 2 years and it was a big mistake. It wasn't in the budget, but we should have made room for it. I brings people in all year long. If they have decided to go to the competition for whatever reason and come back just to use their free tan, they remember how awesome our beds and our cust svs is and they will often use up their pkg elsewhere and come back (this has happened a lot).

I should also add that our employees all hand write the cards. I could get it to print labels, but I prefer the personal touch. Usually if it is a favorite regular, they will add little messages on the cards too. The printer did a great job, they are very colorful and come in 2 color variations. I think it's about $350 - $400 for 1500 cards.

What do you do post cards for?

Did Grip have a banner here or was I hallucinating?

Alan @ TanToday · 4th April 2006, 04:05 PM

They did at one time and then something bizare happened with them so we removed the banner per our contracts with vendors.

When companies have tons of customer service issues that may get alot of people mad at them we have the right to remove their banner from the rotation until they make things right with their clients.
