Giveaway: 250 Custom Printed Business Cards [CLOSED]

Thursday, October 8, 2009

Just six years ago, I would not have known what to do with a business card printing service, even if someone had offered the service to me free of charge. Things have changed drastically since. Now I need business cards to promote my blog and my businesses, and to exchange with other busy parents.



I have already been fortunate enough to experience the services of the online printing company UPrinting.com . Several months ago, I designed my own 2-sided business cards in the glossy cardstock. They turned out beautifully and exactly as the proof had shown. Let me tell you, since I've tried glossy cards, I'll never go back to matte.


Thank you to UPrinting.com for providing us with both a product sample and an identical contest prize free of charge.



What you can win:
One lucky reader will receive 250 Custom Printed Business Cards (plus Free Ground Shipping)

  • 2"x3.5" or 2"x2" or 2"x3" or 1.5"x3.5"
  • 14pt gloss cardstock or 14pt matte cardstock or 13pt recycled uncoated cardstock
  • full color both sides
  • offset press
  • 3-business day turn-around

    I need some of these, because as a School Nurse in a "not-for-profit" day habilitation clinic I'm always having to write out my # and get it to parents/guardians - and it seems like the paper gets lost, but most people will hang-on to a business card.
