Iconic Toys for Tots Images a Perfect Fit for the Holiday Season; 50 Percent of the Purchase Price to Go Directly to Toys for Tots
This holiday season marks the first time holiday cards will not only spread yuletide cheer, but will deliver the gift of hope to children in need. VistaPrint Limited (Nasdaq:VPRT) and the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation announce the launch of six custom designed holiday cards for the upcoming holiday season.
The cards feature a number of iconic Toys for Tots images and 50 percent of the purchase price will be donated to Toys for Tots to purchase toys for children in need. The 5x7 folded cards are colorful and vibrant. They are also a perfect way to send holiday cheer while helping Toys for Tots deliver joy and a message of hope to millions of children living in poverty around the country.
“This is a partnership that we’re very excited about, and it’s truly a win-win for both organizations,” said Trynka Shineman, VistaPrint’s chief marketing officer for North America. “We’ve been involved with various charities for four years, but to be able to design and offer unique holiday cards with an organization like Toys for Tots is inspiring and exciting. They are an organization that has been helping less fortunate children for over 60 years, so to say we’re honored to be working with them is an understatement.”
The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation holiday cards were designed by talented VistaPrint graphic artists, who incorporated many of the images commonly associated with the organization. As with all of VistaPrint’s products, the holiday cards can be customized both inside and out with text and photos, for a personalized holiday greeting. Customers can choose glossy or linen finishes and quantity options range from 10 all the way up to 20,000. Matching envelopes and return address labels are also available. Customers can purchase the cards by going to www.vistaprint.com/toysfortots.
“A holiday card campaign is something that we have been hoping to do for some time now, and partnering with an industry leader like VistaPrint made perfect sense for us,” said Major Bill Grein, USMC (Ret.), vice president of marketing for the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. “We were truly impressed with the cards that VistaPrint designed. They really capture not only the spirit of our organization, but also the holiday season as well. We hope that consumers are as impressed as we are, and will take the opportunity to send them out to family and friends this season.”
Independent of the holiday cards, VistaPrint customers will also have the option of donating to the charity. Anyone purchasing non-charity holiday cards at http://www.vistaprint.com/ will also have the option to donate a pre-specified amount of money, from one dollar to up to $100, which will go directly to the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation.
The objectives of the Foundation are the same as those of the overall Toys for Tots program: to help needy children throughout the United States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in the development of one of our nation’s most valuable resources – our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common cause for two months each year during the annual toy collection and distribution campaign; and to contribute to improving communities in the future.
These new cards join a full line of holiday printed products available at VistaPrint; including VistaPrint’s 4x8 folded greeting cards as well as popular products such as gift tags, magnets, return address labels and gift stickers. Customers can choose from hundreds of holiday templates or upload their own photos and designs. Products can be designed and received in as little as three business days and VistaPrint’s printed products are satisfaction guaranteed.
VistaPrint offers small businesses peace of mind by providing everything they need to market their business. Products include high-quality and low-cost printed products such as holiday cards, brochures, custom postcards, and return address stamps; promotional apparel including hats and T-shirts; and marketing services such as copywriting, Websites, design and postcard mailing.
