Vistaprint.com frequently sends out e-mails and catalogs advertising all their products at low prices. Ever wonder what your group could do with 250 business cards for just $4? Find out here….

Business cards:
Bio cards with pic of an adoptable animal and their bio on it, so people can take them home, or take it to the adoption counselor during an adoptathon. Include personality traits (termperament), home requirements (no kids, no cats, tall fence), special needs, and other info.
Wish List- great keepsake item for people to keep in their wallets, include your group’s name, contact info, and top wish list items for donations, either new items or items from homes and businesses.
Donation Receipts- Use this as an on-the-spot donation receipt, have a blank for item’s name, item description, with a signature spot for your treasurer or volunteer to sign that they received the item.
Education cards– Leave a biz card on cars or at homes with info about keeping pets out of hot cars in the summer and inside homes during winter.

Notecards:
Thank you cards- for volunteers, put your group’s logo on the front and a memorable verse.
Memoriam cards- Leave blank inside, or just have a small inscription about legacies. Leave space to HANDWRITE a thank-you to the family for the donation in memory of their loved one.
Congratulations- Congratulate the family on their recent adoption, or the 1 year anniversary of their adoption!
Cards for sale- Create notecards with your logo on them, or a sympathetic photo of an adoptable pet, and sell them at tabling events or at your shelter location. This works great for Christmas, but can easily be adapted to a belated birthday card using a sad animal face, or a friendship card with two animals snuggling together.

Postcards:
Unique item that can be cost effective, larger than the average business card, and colorful/ glossy enough to stand out from the crowd. Use this option for a wish list, event information to be mailed to attendees (as a save the date card), use as an adoption promotion, list important information about area services (spay/ neuter clinics), or a host of other ideas.

Magnets:
Group’s biz card as a fridge magnet with contact info
Wish List and donation items- Keeps the list and your name in front of them
Humane Related Days- Remind them to celebrate animals all year long.
Poison Prevention- List poison hotline #, local vets #, list of items poisonous to animals
Emergency Pet #s– include local vets with 24 care, ASPCA poison prevention line, # to report abuse, local shelter #s in case pets are lost

Bookmarks:
Wish Lists- Keep your name and needs in front of people! This list could also be easily folded in 1/2 and kept in a wallet, it just has more room for a larger list!
Book titles for Humane Education- Create a list of books for various age groups that have good humane education themes.
Kids’ Bookmarks- Train the next generation of rescuers to spot abuse, take action, and learn how to properly handle animals!

T-Shirt Transfers:
Bandana- Great for putting a logo or Adopt Me on a bandana for foster pets
T-shirts- Excellent for volunteers as a uniform, or even for adoptable pets to wear on a doggy t-shirt
Aprons- A Cobbler’s apron is a great cover-up for volunteers to wear while tabling or at an event. One size fits many, and they can be used by several volunteers during shifts.

Static Clings, Vinyl Decals and Bumper Stickers:

Take your message to the streets with your group’s logo on windows and bumpers of cars!

Many of these product items can be purchased at office supply stores for just a few dollars each. Think outside the litter box and use some office supply items to keep your group’s message and logo in front of people!
