Office Supply Freebies: Finding Free Office Supplies

While it is no secret that many companies on the internet and elsewhere like to give out free samples of products as marketing tools, it can be difficult to find something that is worth the time and effort involved in receiving the free merchandise. There are several companies out there that have both useful and worthwhile complimentary products awaiting you for your business use. If you run a business, you know the costs involved and it is extremely difficult to pass up something for nothing, especially when it is an essential item for your business. Let's take a look at some of the places you can get your free office supplies.

VistaPrint
VistaPrint is by far the largest, most widely used, and best recommended companies for free office supplies. They are known far and wide for their free business cards. You only pay shipping and handling which comes to a paltry sum of $5.67 for 250 cards. The free card will have a small, unobtrusive VistaPrint logo on the back and shipping is rated at 21 days, however, in most cases you will receive your cards much sooner. Rush delivery options are also available. What a lot of people don't know about VistaPrint is that they also offer several other items for only the cost of shipping & processing. These items include postcards, a free T-shirt, lawn signs, invitations and announcements, pens, letterhead, rubber stamp, car door magnets, return address labels, sticky note pads,and note cards. Once you order, you will receive further email offers from the company but they will not spam you or sell your address to other companies.
