<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well... I took the plunge and ordered post
cards and a new round of business cards from them. The business card I
designed with the help of my wife on the got print website would have set me
back $187 for 500 at Staples. From Got Print I am getting 1000 for $25 and
this includes shipping. I for one would like to thank you Fenton for
bringing this company to my attention. Its saved me a few hundred dollars
on my post card and business card orders.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've only ordered post cards. Yes, nice thick
stock, beautiful color, way better and more professional than anything I have
gotten from a local printer for TEN times more money. While your online, if
your having trouble with their design software you can call them on the phone,
they always seem to pick up and help you out.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the prices from this company are
unbelievable! I'm sure going to give them a try... Have you ever
had business cards from them? I'm wondering if they use a nice thick
paper stock for the color on both sides option? You can't beat the
prices! Thanks for the information! </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Terry and Patrick,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried the USPS and was very disapointed
in the quality. I've since found <A
href="http://www.gotprint.com">www.gotprint.com</A> and have purchased
absolutely beautiful cards, etc. for as little as 3 or 4 cents appiece for
2 sided color. I don't know how they do it. You can design everything on
line. About $40. per thousand.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear List:<BR><BR>Yes, you can indeed do all of your
client mailings (reminder cards, holiday newsletter) and chapter
mailings (newsletter, meeting notification postcard) online through
the postal service.<BR><BR>Create your document offline and upload it
to their website. Upload your mailing list, pay them, and wait for the
phone calls. No more labels, stamping, trips to Kinkos or the post
office. A one-sided non-fancy black and white postcard is indeed only
a little more than the 26 cent postcard postage.<BR><BR>You can be as
simple or complicated as you like. Full color? Sure. Text on both
sides of the card? You bet. Bigger postcard? Yup. 8 page newsletter?
Yes. Letter stuffed in an envelope? No problem.<BR><BR>You can even do
mail merge........but using their funky software, not through MS
Word.<BR><BR>The easiest way is to create a bunch of stock
postcards:<BR>- It's been A LONG Time since I last tuned your
piano<BR>- It's been a year since <BR>- It's been 6 months since<BR>-
It's time to tune your piano<BR>- Tune your piano this month and save
___$<BR>- In the past we have tuned your piano in the
spring/winter/fall, why don't we get back into that program<BR>- Thank
you for choosing me to service your piano<BR>- Thank you for referring
me to your friend.<BR><BR>you get the idea<BR><BR>Send your complete
client list to Excel and filter the records to match your postcard
characteristics, copy that to a new file (i.e. Time2tuneMAY.xls)
and then upload that mailing list to the PO. Then match that list to
the corresponding postcard that is saved up there, preview it, pay
them, and start answering the phone in 3 days.<BR><BR><BR>I've given
this Technical in the Bay Area at a couple of the chapters. Email me
privately if you would like a copy of the handouts I prepared for the
class.<BR><BR>Hey, if you don't believe me, ask Mark
Stivers.<BR><BR>regards<BR><BR>Terry Miller<BR>
