AS Alexandra Stoermann Product Marketing Owner Chose Vistaprint Adobe spark is limited to templates and customizable features and shutter stock has a lot of images and assets but never what I need.

User Testimonials
	Lob	Vistaprint
Likelihood to Recommend	Lob is working well for batched or scheduled jobs where timing isn't as critical. For items that need to be sent quickly, it's still faster to manually produce. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Based on the quality of product and software and amazing customer service, I feel they are a great source or tool for any SMB or marketing team to use to boost sales and drive features and great PR with amazing white papers and postcards, and much more. There are so many things you can do with Vistaprint that you won’t have to look anywhere else. Incentivized AS Alexandra Stoermann Product Marketing Owner Read full review
Pros	Address Verification and NCOA Cleaning Autocomplete for our forms that allow a user to SKIP typing Printing and mailing documents automatically over API Incentivized Salvatore (Sal) Salpietro Chief Experience Officer Read full review	Collaborative creativity. Ease of use. Amazing quality. Incentivized AS Alexandra Stoermann Product Marketing Owner Read full review
Cons	Speed of mail production Additional options for mail types (envelopes, postcards, etc.) Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Would be nice if the sizes of the materials were standard sizing. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Incentivized Salvatore (Sal) Salpietro Chief Experience Officer Read full review	My products aren't coming up - I've used local vendors, Kinko's (FedEx). Local vendors: Apples and Oranges. I use local vendors for projects that I know I need to see a hard proof on. Local vendors have better quality. But also are more expensive. Choose your poison. Kinko's (FedEx): The folks at Vistaprint are more knowledgeable. I only go to Kinko's to use their self printing machines. The self printing machine's quality is on par with Vistaprint.

Return on Investment	Helped us reduce cost on product being sent to addresses that were invalid. Incentivized JJ Englert Founder & Product Manager Read full review	Positive Impact: I don't need a lot of materials for my business. But when I do need them, it's nice to be able to choose from a good selection. And the product is pretty good. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
