VISTAPRINT’S BUSINESS SOLUTIONS PROGRAM REACHES MILESTONE
3/5/2008 - Hamilton, Bermuda
More Than 100 Organizations Use VistaPrint’s Innovative Solution to Grow their Business and Protect their Brand
VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT), the leading online supplier of high-quality graphic design services and customized printed products to small businesses and consumers, today announced that more than 100 companies are using VistaPrint’s Business Solution program—a 24x7 web-based service that helps large, geographically dispersed organizations provide customized and consistently branded marketing materials across the enterprise.
YTB International, Inc. provides Internet-based travel booking services for travel agencies and home-based independent representatives in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. According to the company’s Vice President of Marketing, Josh Tomer, “With more than 200,000 independent marketing representatives, we needed a service that would allow us to quickly and easily maintain our brand while enabling our representatives 24x7 access to the high-quality, low-cost corporate identity materials necessary to be successful. VistaPrint’s Business Solutions Program enables our representatives to choose from pre-approved business cards with just a few clicks. Our reps love it and we are thrilled with the consistency it provides on our brand.”
VistaPrint Business Solutions delivers a comprehensive and customizable solution for the design, production and distribution of sales and marketing materials including business cards, letterhead, brochures and direct mail postcards. It reduces the cost and brand inconsistency that can arise when unrelated and widely dispersed field sales and marketing agents create their own marketing materials using different products, methods or vendors. The solution is built on VistaPrint’s industry-leading online design and printing tools and provides the same outstanding value and customization options ensuring that sales force organizations can get the tools they need to be successful while conforming to approved branding standards.
“YTB’s results are indicative of the benefits that VistaPrint’s Business Solutions program provides to our customers,” said Chris Grasso, director of solutions development at VistaPrint. “For larger organizations that are graphically diverse or have many individual representatives, the options for providing consistently branded materials were limited, time-consuming and often frustrating before VistaPrint. VistaPrint’s Business Solutions offers a quick and easy solution and our customers are telling us that we are making an impact on their business.”
