A curated list of resources I recommend to my clients and community. I never recommend any company or product that I haven't used. Although I encourage you to do your own thorough research before investing in a program or tool, to ensure it’s a good fit for your unique business (and your personality, too!)
Below is a list of online printers I've used and recommend. Visit each of their sites to get quick printing quotes (also consider shipping!). Note to Minneapolis/St. Paul based businesses: looking for a local printer to work and build a relationship with? Let me know and I will connect you!
A lovely online printer with beautiful paper stock options and really high quality printing that will give everything a high end and classy feel. I use them for my business card printing and any other print materials that I want to make an extra special impression with. They have set print sizes and set quantities you can choose from, and they ship worldwide.
CLIENTS: If you'd like to use Moo for your print marketing materials, I’ll send you print-ready files and you'd order and pay on your own. The ordering experience is pretty easy, though! Visit Moo.com.
A wonderful online printer I use regularly thanks to their quality printing and affordable prices. They have a good selection of paper thickness and coating, plus you're able to order print pieces in any size and any quantity (of course, the lower the quantity, the more the price per piece). They ship worldwide and have a very user-friendly ordering and reordering experience.
CLIENTS: If you'd like to use Smartpress for your print marketing materials, I can create an account for you and set up your order. Then you’ll take care of payment and handle proofing. Visit Smartpress.com.

Having Terms and Conditions and a Privacy Policy on your website (typically linked in the footer of your website) is absolutely necessary to ensure you are legally protecting yourself and those who visit your site, give you their personal information, etc.
