Last week I received an email from vistaprint offering free products. I’ve used vistaprint before in past business attempts but this time my experience has been extremely different. This time I feel as though I’ve got a lot to gain if I can operate a successful business.
I thought to myself “what is the harm in looking?” So I followed the link and started playing around with a few different designs and came up with one that I’m happy with. I’m someone who has always liked stationary and to see all the options available to me was a little overwhelming. There were so many items I could use to help advertise and operate my little business. Still being a student and a single mum on a limited income I don’t really have an advertising budget yet. I devised a way to get as many free items as I could. All I have to pay is for postage.
I’m in love with freebies. But I can’t help but wonder how this company can afford to give so many products away for free. Surely people like me who only order the ‘FREE STUFF’ can’t be good for business? But I’ve managed to walk away with hundreds of dollars worth of product for very little. I’m so excited I can’t wait for everything to be delivered so I can just get my hands on it and admire it all.
I want to place another order claiming more free stuff but with an addictive personality like mine is it wise to fork out more money than I can afford right now? But then my own argument back to myself is, that you have to spend money to make it. My business needs recognition and I need to get advertising material to help promote it.
I ask the question; can you ever have too much stationary?
