As stated in the preceding lesson, you can get your logo printed on just about anything. Promotional items -from business cards to complete booklets- are very effective marketing tools. With the inception of the personal computer and specialized software, the possibilities about what can be made into a promotional item are endless. The cost of producing such materials is more reasonable than ever before. All of which makes it a grand time to be in business.
What’s even better is that you can design and order print promotional items online. This is notably important to adult webmasters because of the social stigma attached to our business. The local printer might not be too keen to apply "cocksuckingtrannies.com" on a batch of business cards no matter how much money they’re paid. Any alternative to physical confrontation is always advantageous to folks in our line of work.

Everyone needs business cards, postcards or brochures. We at Cozy Academy have found some swell online resources for purchasing printed promotional items. Some of them are:

5000 double-sided, full-color, laminated business cards for $188.00 is a pretty good deal. Not only can these folks supply you with amazing paper-based promos; they can even design your logo.
PromoPeddler

With over 560,000 items to choose from this promotional printer is sure to be able to supply you with items that are sure to market competently.
It's very important you research an online printing service's TOS before you offer up your credit card. Sites such as CafePress and LogoWorks forbid sexually suggestive and explicit content on their products. The best route is to call any such service on the telephone before you spend money on their products.
As you can see from browsing the above sites and from your own research, it's ridiculously easy and exceedingly inexpensive to have print promotional items made. In fact, the more you buy; the more the price comes down. You can visit your local print shop and possibly get a better deal and definitely receive more personalized service, but is it worth the possible condemnation or embarrassment? Why not take advantage of the wonders of current technology? There’s no time like the present!
