My 1st UPrinting.com Giveaway!

Recently I joined a new blogger program called the UPrinting Blog Sponsorship Program.  This program gives me the opportunity to tell of you all about UPrinting's products and services and offer a number of items as giveaway prizes! 

UPrinting's motto is 'Spread Your Message' and this is exactly what UPrinting allows you to do.  UPrinting provides you with a number of products that are completely customizable, including Business Cards, Labels/Stickers, Posters, Postcards, etc.  For each product, you have the choice of using UPrinting's designs or adding one of your own!  You can easily create your own design by using one of the templates offered by UPrinting.  These templates make it simple to create a design that reflects your style 100%.  Plus, you can use these templates with a number of programs (e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, Microsoft Publisher, etc.).  Not familiar with design programs but you still want a one of a kind (OOAK) design?  A number of Etsy shops sell premade OOAK and custom designs for business cards and more!  If this is something that would interest you, you may want to check out my Etsy shop - EUC Designs.  Additionally, UPrinting shows just how user friendly they are by offering FREE samples of a number of their printing papers.  This allows you to pre-order samples so that you can ensure that your custom product arrives just as you imagined it!

Finally, as you look through UPrinting's website, you will notice that their prices are very competitive compared to other online printing businesses.  For example, you can get 250 business cards for only $20 + shipping (dependent on options chosen).  Or, buy 100 custom Birth, Wedding, or Event announcement postcards for only $33.60 + shipping (dependent on options chosen).

UPrinting.com is an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau and Inc. 500 | 5000.

Now for the fun part - the giveaway!


What can you win? One winner will receive a package of 250 business cards from UPrinting.com.  The business cards in this package are completely customizable to your preferences and you can choose from the following options:

  1. I would use the business cards to promote my “JACK of ALL TRADES” business. I was layed off and have been doing odd jobs. Several people have asked me for a business card but of course I dont have any yet.

  3. I would use the business card as a sort of social card, as I currently do not have a job, but still need something for those opportunities when you want to network. I would put information about my Facebook and LinkedIn pages.

  4. As for other UPrinting products, I think the greeting cards would be a great thing to try. My family loves to do the whole family portrait and letter thing during the holidays, and this would be a simple but easy way to do it.

  10. My boyfriend is s huge support for me in everything I do creatively, and being an artist himself, I'd love to be able to show him my support for his creativity by printing some of his very own business cards. They will have his name and contact info, and will offer the recipient a multiple choice of his services: Art, Music, or Etc. I'll be crossing my fingers!
