Inexpensive notary signs at VistaPrint.com

Lots of us have been happily ordering high quality business cards from VistaPrint.com for several years.

VistaPrint has recently added signage to their line of product offerings.

I just ordered a waterproof plastic lawn sign measuring 12"high by 18"wide. That's approximately the same size as two letter size sheets of paper side by side. My sign says in big letters on three lines: Notary Public inside building

The sign is temporarily free at this URL:

If you want the stand, that is $3 extra. I declined.

I chose 3 week shipping for around $7. (I have found that clicking on 3 weeks usually gets me the product in around 10-12 days.)

I plan to tape the sign inside a window of the building in which I perform notary services. Next month when roads are no longer icy, I plan to offer Saturday notary services in at a border town south of Vancouver, Canada. I'll tape the sign inside my car window parked outside the building to help clients locate me.

Car door magnet signs measuring 11.25"wide by 8.5" high are temporarily free at:

Remember to take them off your car when you go through the car wash.

I recently received some printed postcards I ordered to announce Saturday border town services. I got 100 free and paid around $7 for shipping. The cards look great and are printed on heavy stock. I had my local Small Business Administration help me build a tightly targeted recipient list of clients mostly likely to drive to me and use my most lucrative services. SBA does not charge for these types of research projects. Put your local office to work!

I always wait for VistaPrint's email sales announcements for free products. To get on VistaPrint's emailing announcement list, enter your email address above the Sign Up button near the bottom of the left column of the home page www.VistaPrint.com

Good luck with your own marketing projects! LauraV www.ProfessionalNotary.com

Laura, thanks for the info.

Blessings, Elizabeth

I've done very well with the car sign from vistaprint.com. I could have done a better job with the message on the car sign; should have put my CA Notary Commission number.

People don't know how a notary commission works i.e. when we hire a contractor we want to see a business license number on their truck.

I think I will re-order and put the above info on the sign.

I always leave them on the car when I have the car washed; what is the problem with leaving them on?

Hi, Joan

The problem with car magnets is that dirt and grit can get between the sign and your car. It can scratch the paint off your car.

That's why I never use magnetic signs.

You can purchase a clear clingy vinyl sign here http://www.weddecal.com

You can have any words you want on the sign.

You put it on the inside of your car. No adhesive: it simply clings so you can take it down anytime.

Thanks for info. Do you agree that having your commission number on your car ad is a good idea?

What has been other notary/loan-signer with car signs and what worked and didn't work?

Joan,

From experince Laura is right about the magnet signs.

I would not put my commission number on the sign. I would take me framed commission with me and display it on the desk or table I was working at.

I get at least 2 emails from Vistaprint every day. Maybe it's time I actually looked at one of them.

Laura,

VistaPrint is great, I order my business cards from them as well. Usually when you complete an order they send you a coupon for 25% off the next order.
