Free personalized notepads

A few months ago in Mywritingblog I mentioned an offer of 250 free business cards from the Internet printing company Vistaprint. This offer is still open, by the way, and you can read more about it by following this link.

Well, Vistaprint now has a special offer of free personalized notepads. You can have whatever text you want on your notes, and choose from a wide range of full-colour designs (see the illustration above for some examples). There are 50 sheets per pad, and all you pay is a small sum for post and packing. Vistaprint are using this as a "loss leader" to introduce you to their services.

I've already placed my order, and plan to use my notes as a less formal version of a 'with compliments' slip yet more professional-looking than a post-it sticker. They should be ideal for sending articles and such like to editors I know well, when a full covering letter is not required.

For more details about this special offer, just visit www.nickdaws.co.uk/Vistaprint and click through the ad to get to the information page. Note that if you simply go to the Vistaprint site directly, you will not see the free special offer.

Incidentally, the link above takes you to the UK site, but Vistaprint operates in many other countries as well, including Australia, Canada and the US - just scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the appropriate link.
