What to print first & why
Start outside: a vinyl banner announcing your sale, your season, or simply that you exist turns sidewalk traffic into door traffic — it's the hardest-working square footage you're not paying rent on. Then work the comeback: loyalty punch cards give every first-time buyer a concrete reason for a second visit, which is where retail actually makes its money. Business cards by the register travel home in pockets and purses. Die-cut stickers go in every bag — free advertising on water bottles citywide. For a sale, event, or grand opening, flyers handle the neighborhood footwork, and EDDM neighborhood mailers put your shop in every mailbox around you.
What it actually costs
Everything is all-in — shipping included, price you see is the price you pay. Vinyl banners: $59 (2×6), $75 (3×6), $89 (3×8). Loyalty punch cards: $54.99 for 500 — about 11 cents per future repeat customer. Business cards: $39.95/100, $44.95/250, $54.99/500. Die-cut stickers: $139/250 or $219/500. Sale flyers: $129/250 or $189/500. Door hangers for the surrounding blocks: $279/500. And when you want the whole neighborhood, EDDM mailers start at $398 per route — print AND mail to roughly 400–800 homes near your shop. Shelf talkers, signage, price tags? Custom quote.
How it works
Upload your design and we run a free pro file check — resolution, bleed, trim — because a banner with a pixelated logo is worse than no banner. You'll get a free digital proof before anything prints, and nothing is charged until you approve it. Sale dates wrong? Phone number old? That's exactly what the proof catches, free. Once approved, we print and ship anywhere in the US with shipping already in the price, covered by our reprint guarantee. No print-shop field trips, no checkout surprises. You run the floor; we run the press.
Frequently asked questions
What's the most cost-effective printing for a small retail shop?
Loyalty punch cards, by the math: $54.99 for 500 means each card costs about 11 cents, and every completed card represents multiple return visits. Pair them with a vinyl banner ($59–$89) for new foot traffic and you've covered both halves of retail — getting people in, and getting them back — for under $155.
How do I advertise a shop grand opening with print?
The proven combo: a big vinyl banner on the storefront ($59–$89), flyers for nearby businesses and bulletin boards ($129/250), door hangers on surrounding blocks ($279/500), and an EDDM mailer (from $398/route, print and mail included) hitting 400–800 nearby homes. Stagger them so the banner goes up two weeks before doors open.
Is EDDM worth it for a local retail store?
If most of your customers live within a couple miles, yes — EDDM reaches every mailbox on nearby postal routes without buying a mailing list. At $398 per route covering roughly 400–800 homes, print and mailing included, your cost is well under a dollar per household. It pairs best with a specific offer and a clear expiration date.
Do I get to approve my order before it prints?
Always. Every order includes a free pro file check and a free digital proof, and you are not charged until you approve the proof. That's where wrong sale dates, old phone numbers, and off-center logos get caught — before 500 copies exist. Printing errors on our end are covered by our reprint guarantee.
Is shipping really included in the price?
Yes — every price you see on this page is all-in, shipping to anywhere in the US included. No freight surprise at checkout, no "handling" line item. Combined with the free file check, free digital proof, and pay-only-after-approval policy, the number you see is genuinely the number you pay.
