UPrinting to Build Your Brand
Are you a blogger or small business owner navigating the stormy seas of self promotion?
Are you trying to “build your brand”?
I’m no expert, but I do know that it is imperative to make an impression on others!
So, in gearing up to attend BlogHer ‘09 in July, I’m coming armed and ready with hundreds of Mom Most Traveled business cards.
Never mind that I usually blog in my pajamas (like now. really!), I’m a professional and I want to be received as such.
UPrinting.com has a variety of promotional materials available at decent prices. You can get business cards, postcard printing, and even color brochure printing.
I’m still brainstorming about my postcard design, but I think I am going to go with the matte finish or maybe the uncoated. I love the postcards at UPrinting.com are printed with soy/vegetable based inks and recycled - FSC/SFI certified card stocks.
Two Mom Most Traveled readers will each win a 500 Postcard Printing package from UPrinting.com!
1.) To win a set of 500 postcards printed however you would like from UPrinting.com, leave a comment here explaining how you would creatively use your 500 Postcard Printing(You may enter once a day - subsequent entries don’t require you to answer the question).
Please don’t just comment with “Enter me” or “Sounds great”. That totally annoys me. Those entries are not eligible to win.
Two winners will be chosen at random.
This giveaway is open to those with a US or Canadian mailing address.
*Giveaway closed! Congrats to subscriber Shelby Barone and Mabyn (number 26)!*
This contest will close May 20, 2009, 11:59 CST.

I would donate the 500 card printing to my awesome local baby-wearing group to print information cards! Whenever I’m out and about with a baby on my back, I get stopped by people looking for information about it. It would be great to just be able to whip out a card with all the details!

My son just graduated and will be taking over a business. I’d give him the cards to use as a way to advertise the fact that HE is now in charge. Every little bit of free advertising will help.

Our family just started a website/blog called http://www.kidstellit.com The kids (10yrs & 7yrs) write reviews about places we’ve been in their own words. The kids get to learn about starting a new business, marketing, technology and have ongoing opportunities to develop their writing skills. We would use the postcards as a teachable moment with the kids. We would allow the kids to design the cards, work with them on distribution and hopefully as a result they will see how their work increased traffic to the website.

I work for a community theatre, and our budget is really tight right now. We have done postcard mailings, which involves printing the postcards on cardstock and cutting them down to size. I would love to win 500 free postcards that I can use to promote one of our productions. The cards would look better and would save me a lot of time!
