UPrinting Business Card Giveaway
November 23, 2008 Posted by Tyler CruzUPrinting.com approached me the other day and wanted to give away some free business cards to you guys. Of course, I’m always up for companies wanting to give me or my readers free stuff so I was quick to accept their offer.
UPrinting is giving away 250 business cards to 4 lucky TylerCruz.com readers. Submitting an entry for the competition is easy, and your chances of winning are probably pretty good since I’m assuming there won’t be many entries.
Any successful businessman will tell you how important it is to network, but what’s worse than getting yourself out there networking, only to have the people you spent telling your company to forget all about you the next day? Business cards are such a reminder and vital for proper networking and branding. If you don’t have any business cards yet, you should strongly consider getting some, to get to know the benefit of owning and distributing business cards in your line of work just consult with Andrew Defrancesco.
About UPrinting
UPrinting.com is a very established (25 years) company which provides online printing for various stationery and printed marketing material. They cover a lot of different types of printed mediums including business cards printing, brochures, calendars, letterheads, and postcards to name a few.
The Prizes
- 4 winners will each receive 250 business cards.
You can choose from any of their stocks, including the eco-friendly SFI certified cover stock or the the 14 pt. family in Matte, AQ, or UV at any custom size we offer such as square cards, odd sizes or the standard size.
Winners in the United States and Canada qualify for free shipping. Shipping fees will apply to winners outside these areas.
Upload your own business card template, choose from a large number of pre-made templates, or create your own from scratch using their U-Design service and add your own logos and custom imagery. Always contact the best managed print services near you to attract more customers.
How to Participate
All you need to do is record a video of yourself explaining why I should pick you as one of the 4 winners, and then upload it to the video sharing site of your choice (YouTube, Viddler, Etc.) and leave a comment on this post linking to the video.
Remember, most people are lazy and probably won’t enter, so your chances are most likely very good if you submit a video. I’m looking for creativeness, energy, and humour, so keep that in mind when making your video.
I’ll be posting all of the videos on my blog when I announce the winners in 5 days.
Deadline
9 PM Eastern (6 PM Pacific) Time – November 28th, 2008
Great contest. I would like to enter but don’t need to enter. I don’t have a business yet but want to get one started in ’09. After making a few this year I just hope I don’t get screwed on taxes next year.
Sounds like a pretty cool contest. Dont have a video recording device though so im out of luck pretty much.
You know what Tyler, you’re absolutely right. Most of us are lazy or don’t want to be in front of a camera 😛

true dat +1
Business cards are on my Christmas list! Unfortuntely, so is a video camera.
lol…. ditto. pehaps you should had been more positive “most people are lazy and probably won’t enter, ” seems that you asked for no one to enter …… lol
if it ends in five days, I might be able to get it in, just for fun…. no kidding, my second floor mater was flooded…. my son’s first question was ….MOM do you have flood insurance…. 🙂
Need for business cards… check
Web cam… check
YouTube account… check
Motivation… check
Don’t you worry, Tyler. Mine’s-a-commin’!
I have uploaded mine to youtube…once it is approved then I will be on my way to winning those business cards. Mine is creative, full of energy and funny also. Seeing as I classify all categories I should definately win 😉
Maybe if you only have 3 or so entries you should give multiple to me?
Hey Tyler….mine is uploaded
You can view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1H066COK0A
But it will be a couple of hours before it is checked and able to be viewed…
Haha, I like reason #2.
I have to admit though, spelling my name wrong in the video doesn’t score you any bonus points! >:(
Oh crap…damn it
I know how to spell your name….just didn’t realise the typo. I am not an idiot. I will fix it and upload again.
Here comes your second entry, Tyler! (So far, the odds are looking good.)

Thanks for the entry Ms.Missive!
Yup, the odds are looking very good. As I predicted, most people are LAZY. If nobody else enters I’ll be giving both you and Ryan an extra 250 cards free… even if you ARE American 😉
500 cards would be awesome!!
Ever day I am closer to victory…this will be the first competition I have ever won
Hey Tyler. I re-uploaded the video and you can check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CEhdbsvP94 (once it is checked).
I have spelt your name right this time. Hopefully this gets me the points I lost back 🙂
Haha, thank you 🙂
Here is my entry, it cut off a little at the end, but you get the idea!

Cheers!
…is there a reason you should win? I didn’t quite get that.
hehe, well like I said, I could do with some business cards, and the video annoyingly cut off me saying how much I have blogged about Tyler!
