FI and I are starting to make the final decisions regarding STDs. We decided to use Vistaprint postcards and we have our design finalized. We haven't calculated out prices for once discounts have been found, and there is a lot to consider when doing so (what discounts we can find, what aspects of the order they will apply to, etc.). We would appreciate any input on the following things:
80 lb glossy or 130 lb glossy? Does it make enough difference to save the money?
Mailing service? Is it worth it to have Vistaprint mail the postcards, or does it not really save any money? I'm thinking that a discount may be able to be applied to the mailing service, but not to shipping and stamps if I did that myself. But having them do it is so impersonal. Thoughts would be appreciated.
Finally, I know that Vistaprint occasionally has 100 postcards available for free. Do you know how frequently this happens? If we were able to get that kind of deal, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
