Christmas is just around the corner. I've had a couple of people ask if I can do Christmas Cards. So I've started looking for suppliers. Most seem to be geared toward the consumer with samples online listing their price. I called the local lab they have a book of samples, but again it is for their customers not something I can take and show to my customers.

I'm not realy interested in printing them myself.


I wish SmugMug offered cards (I didn't see any at least). If you offer cards how do you do it? What do you use for samples? Online or local?

Thank all

Mitch

    I really shouldn't be discussing this info with you... since you're local to me... you're technically considered "Competition" hehe

    but... I've done alot of research lately on this topic, and since I've gotten sooo much good help from this forum, I feel it's only appropriate that I share what I've learned.

    I am currently offering Holiday Cards....

    I've found Mpix to be the best cost on the cards. I've used them before... pretty quick turn around time, and excelent quality.

    I'm still kind of new to the AZ area, so i'm trying to get a feel for the market....

    here's a link to how i've set things up. The templates that you will see are courtesy of Mpix. They provided a pdf document so that I can browse through them and show clients. (still need to add the copywrite info on the template page giving credit to mpix)

    Let me know if you have any other questions. deal.gif
