<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
