VISTAPRINT’S CEBULA NAMED TO CANADIAN TOP 50 MOST INFLUENTIAL LIST

Vistaprint North America Business Unit President Wendy Cebula Ranks No. 45 on
PrintAction’s Most Influential People in Graphics Communications

Vistaprint North American Services Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vistaprint Limited (Nasdaq: VPRT), the small business marketing company, today announced that Vistaprint North America Business Unit President Wendy Cebula has been named to Canada’s 50 Most Influential People in Graphic Communications byPrintAction Magazine. This is Cebula’s first time appearing on the list, currently ranking at No. 45.

“It is an honor to be named to this list, but really this ranking is a bigger reflection on Vistaprint as a company than me personally,” said Cebula. “The nomination speaks volumes of organizational commitment to offering the best marketing solutions and services to our customers and continuing to push the boundaries of online graphic design. In this economic climate, our customers can be assured that Vistaprint will continue to offer high-quality products at tremendous value.”

Now in its seventh year, PrintAction’s “Canada’s 50 Most Influential People in Graphic Communications” is a subjective analysis of individuals in key positions who influence the current business climate. The listing is heavily biased toward thetechnological development of graphic communications, as opposed to its aesthetic properties. Television based broadcasting is largely ignored in favor of Internet-based trends, which have a far greater impact on the printing industry.

Vistaprint offers small businesses peace of mind by providing everything they need to market their businesses. Products include high-quality and low-cost printed products such as business cards, postcards, party invitations, thank you cards and Christmas cards; promotional apparel including hats and T-shirt; and marketing services such as Websites, copywriting, email marketing, design and postcard mailing. Ordering products from Vistaprint is easy; customers just go online, 24 hours a day, design their products and order with the click of a mouse. Products can be designed, ordered and received in as little as three business days.
