Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT), the company that provides high-impact personalized products and services for small businesses and the home, today announced another avenue for customers to spread holiday cheer with an exclusive designer collection. These designs were selected from a bevy of concepts submitted during an internal competition among Vistaprint’s talented internal design team. The unique cards feature designs based on creative industry trends that are expected to be popular for the 2009 holiday season.
“Sending out holiday cards is a time-honored tradition during the winter season, and people want to send a stylish greeting that is unique and really stands out,” said Jeffrey Prus, vice president of content and user experience at Vistaprint. “Our customers can distinctively express themselves with our designer collection, which was specially created by our own talented designers, and the best designs were hand-selected by the management team. Not only are the cards high-quality and fully customizable with photos and text, but they are also a great value.”
Earlier in the year, Vistaprint’s management team issued a challenge to the company’s internal design team with a unique contest. The premise was to design an original concept for a holiday card that captured the trends of the season and showcased the designer’s individual personality and style – the winning designs, as selected by the management team, would be sold exclusively on the company’s site. Out of the dozens of submissions, the team selected several designs and expanded on them for the collection. To see images of content, please visit Vistaprint’s Flickr page.
“We all used this challenge as a way to share with our customers their individual design styles. The team pushed their designs to meet current trends while introducing their unique personality, and in the process set new trends for this holiday season,” said Megan Morahan, consumer products art director at Vistaprint. “I’m amazed with the team and what they accomplished in such a short time.”
This collection is comprised of both photo and non-photo design templates that are sure to make an impression among the holiday cards received by friends and family and is available exclusively in 5”x7” flat high-quality matte stock, starting at $11.48 for 10 cards. Much like the company’s other products, the designer collection holiday cards are fully customizable and easy to order. Customers simply log onto www.vistaprint.com/designercollection. Once a design is selected, they can customize their cards with family photos and text and have the cards delivered to their home in as little as three business days.
In addition to the designer collection, Vistaprint offers consumers convenience by providing printed products they can hold confidence in. Products include high-quality and low-cost printed products such as graduation announcements, postcards, return address stickers, and Christmas cards; promotional apparel including hats and T-shirts; and marketing services such as
