postcards

Hey guys, i need a little help.

Last year, i received lots of postcards from bloggers and this year i want to send them mines. so i found a guy who makes prints. he said they print at least 1000 postcards but this is too many for me. i still wanted to know the price, he wanted 80 dollars and after a little bargaining he said 55 dolars would be ok. although it is more than i want, 55$ seems pretty good for 1000 postcards. i havent done this before, so i dont know much about it.

so what do you think? is it good deal?

bump!

Do they still do that thing that if you join Flickr pro they can print some of your pictures on ten postcards (or something) for free? And then you can also use that service normally. It probably costs a lot more per card, but if you only need a few it's probably less going to waste.

1000 postcards is A LOT!

55$/1000 = 0,05 is pretty cheap. But it's a waste, you just need a few, right?

wow i didnt know flickr does that. thanks!

yeah thats the point. its really cheap, but too much for me :( how did you made the postcards you sent to me?

I think it's $20 for 20 though on Flickr, so you are getting a good deal on the 1000. But if you only use 20, then it goes to waste.

hmmm. 20 is not enough. i need at least 50 postcards. if i use flickr then i should make 60 postcards for $60. when i can have 1000 for $55 flickr doesnt seem much helpful :( i'm confused. i dont want to throw away like 900 postcards.

anyone knowing some other way to make postcards??

hehe :) i dont think it would work for me. i will use one of my drawings and there is no way i can do it again and again by hand :)

I just printed 1000 postcards for myself and it isn't as many as it seems at first. You can put your contact information on the back and give them out for free. Maybe someone wants to hire you for a project.
If I just need a few postcards I do a regular color printout on stronger paper at one of the local copy shops. Two postcards fit on one piece of paper. I use their little paper cutter machine and done!

hey! i found a site, there is a price chart and i can have as many postcards as i want. prices are affordable. but now, i cant decide how many i should have :) because;
100 postcards=$20
300 postcards=$30
500 postcards=$34
...

there isnt much difference between them. i think i'll have 300 or 500. but i may end up with 1000 postcards again :)
