Are you. . .

  • Throwing a summer bash in a few weeks and want cute invites?
  • Going to a conference this summer and need new business cards?
  • Moving to a new house and want to share your new addy with pals?
  • Having a bambino and want to spread the new baby news with friends and family?
  • Feeling like you’re drowning in kid photos? Want to organize them in a photo book?

This New For Us Friday I’m not sharing a new fruit or veggie or activity or craft we’ve tackled over here.

I’m not sharing out-of-this world news or anything really that royally crazy. But what I am sharing had me super-excited and dancing around in my kitchen.

It’s about my brand-spankin’ new business cards from Tiny Prints. Love them.

And our friends at Tiny Prints are giving away $75 worth of products to a teach mama reader this week, good for anything at all–invitations, business cards, birth announcements, photo books, you name it.ย  With free shipping. How awesome?!

I know there are a million other companies to turn to for these types of things, but Tiny Prints is top-notch and is the one place I believe trumps all others. And I’m not just saying this because Tiny Prints has partnered with we teach this past year. I’d say it even if we weren’t partners.

Here’s why:

  • Tiny Prints Love: I haveย  really hard time making decisions, so when I sat down for the gazillionth time to make my business cards, I logged on to the Tiny Prints site and literally tried five designs before I found one I wanted to go with.

 

My happy, happy business cards right next to my happy, happy ‘thank you’ note from Tiny Prints.

Very easily, I uploaded several images that I thought I’d use, and those images were saved for every design I tried. So awesome.

I went with the Bold Bliss in deep turquoise, but each design I tried–the Unique Style, Modern Geometry, Chic Band, Fresh Logo, and Retail Expert–are all still saved in my account in case I want to use them next time.

Once my design was saved and I gave it the ‘go’, a day or two later I received a phone call from my Tiny Prints representative who had some questions about my design. She was working on my card and noticed that I left a comment in the comment box.ย  Really!?? Someone looks at that? I was pleasantly surprised!

She agreed with my request adjust the default font size for the ‘teach’ and ‘mama’ and helped find fonts to mirror what I use on my site.ย  She worked to find just the right one and just the right size.ย  She also suggested I change a few things on the inside so that it was more symmetrical and looked better; she made the fonts and colors jive, and honestly, she was just as excited about the final product as I was.

What sets this company apart from others is not necessarily the wide range of styles and incredible quality of the products but the outstanding customer service.ย  Really? A phone call? And a ‘thank you’ note two days after she and I spoke? W. O. W.

Overall, hereโ€™s what I love about Tiny Prints:

  • the customer serviceโ€“aware, professional, and thoughtful–you don’t get that everywhere;
  • the variety of designsโ€“thereโ€™s something for everyoneโ€“and then some!;
  • the quick, customizable processโ€“with a few clicks, photos are uploaded, fonts are changed, and the product totally rocks;
  • the affordabilityโ€“you can find something for every budget here–no joke;
  • the easy-to-contact, easy-to-find helpโ€“you can find Tiny Prints on Twitter, or on Facebook, or on the Tiny Prints blog ;
  • the thank you noteโ€“YES!โ€“the woman I worked with actually sent me a Thank You note for working with Tiny Prints. I want to hug her. . .
  • the qualityโ€“these cards are true quality–they’ll hold up through my conference travels and speaking engagements, and (of course) when my kids steal them and use them as tickets;
  • the customer serviceโ€“did I mention the customer service? It’s fab and it makes a difference to know that the people really care about your design, want to uphold the integrity of your idea, and want to see you happy.

We wish:

  • that everyone would check out Tiny Prints–because really, everyone will love them.
  • that I would have used Tiny Prints before now–what was I thinking?!

UPDATE: This contest is closed and the winner has been notified–random.org chose #54. Thank you!!!

GIVEAWAYS: $75 at Tiny Prints and free shipping!

Do you want to win $75 at Tiny Prints to use on party invitations, business cards, thank you cards and birth announcements?

  • All you have to do is leave a comment here (with email address!) explaining how you will use the $75 at Tiny Prints.
  • For extra entries, you can share this post with a friend (just tell me who you shared it with!)ย  OR Tweet this: Win $75 from @tinyprints to use on invitations, business cards, or announcements on @teachmamaย  http://teachmama.com/?p=2877 #weteachย  #giveaway

OR

  • Like teach mama on Facebook–very easy!

This contest ends on Friday, June 24, 2011 at midnight ET.

 

fyi: Tiny Prints provided me with my rad business cards at no charge, and they are providing the $75 gift card for a teach mama reader.ย  This is an unsponsored post; the ideas are all my own, influenced only by my experiences working with Tiny Prints.
