As part of the relationship Vistaprint has also agreed to sponsor USAWP and underwrite a portion of its marketing efforts in 2010 by providing USAWP with free Vistaprint products that will allow USAWP to promote its events more effectively – including its recently launched Splashball™ initiative for 5 to 9 year olds and its Olympic teams – on a national level, helping drive interest, participation, and attendance.
Through Vistaprint’s Business Solutions platform, USAWP club administrators can log onto a specialized co-branded website to create custom printed products like business cards, banners, posters, and brochures that maintain the overall look and feel of the USA Water Polo brand. Products are discounted for club administrators and can be received in as little as three business days.
“In talking to USA Water Polo regarding its needs for consistently branded marketing materials that would be accessible by local clubs, it became apparent that our Business Solutions platform was a perfect fit,” said Karen O’Connor, director of solutions development at Vistaprint. “They have been a great partner to work with and we’re excited to see the results. We also look forward to seeing what kind of impact sponsoring such a great organization will have on our brand awareness.”
“We’re an organization that is working hard to grow our sport, from the youth level all the way up to the US National team,” said Chief Marketing Officer for USA Water Polo, Inc., Jennifer Rottenberg. “We needed a partner who would enable our local clubs to quickly and easily access high-quality marketing materials they could use in everyday promotions, and Vistaprint provided the solution we needed.”

VISTAPRINT OFFERS MORE REAL ESTATE WITH FOLDED BUSINESS CARDS
Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT), the company that provides high-impact personalized products and services for small businesses and the home, today announced the launch of folded business cards. This new twist on the classic business card is now available across all 20 of the company’s sites around theworld, and gives customers even more flexibility when spreading their message.
Folded business cards are perfect for business owners looking to make their business cards stand out or consumers who want to flex their creative wings with different designs and elements. On top of the traditional space on the front of the card, Vistaprint’s folded business cards offer customers the ability to incorporate more information and marketing messaging onto each card. Some common uses for the extra space allotted with folded business cards include: listing services offered; inserting coupons; and offering tips for customers. Job seekers have also used the space to print up a high-level resume on the inside. Those who want to showcase artistic talents can add more graphics and visual elements that can stand out from the standard business card.
“For nearly a decade, Vistaprint has been providing customers with high-quality business cards,” said Josh Berg, senior product marketing specialist at Vistaprint. “But over the years our customers have been asking for ways to make their cards stand out and truly showcase who they are. Our folded business cards allow our customers to do this by offering additional space for anything they can think of. This gives the cards a sticky factor, increasing the chance of the recipient following up.”
Vistaprint’s folded business cards fold to the size of a standard Vistaprint business card, and nearly double in size when opened. These cards are available in both 80 and 100lb paper stock with many designs offering matching inside designs to the front side of the cards. As with all of Vistaprint’s products, ordering folded business cards is easy. Customers simply log on to www.vistaprint.com/foldedbusinesscards, upload their own design or select from thousands of design templates, and customize their text or add a logo. Existing customers can also have their folded business cards match their previously ordered products for a consistent brand image. The process takes just minutes and customers can have their order delivered in as little as three business days. Quantities start as low as 250 for $29.99.
