  • Holiday Cards

    I’ve been doing some (ok, a lot) of research as to the pricing of holiday cards. I’m personally geared toward the nice 4”x8” that you mail in envelopes. Know what I’ve found? There is a crap ton of variation in pricing. Here’s the best deal I’ve found so far: Holiday 4” x 8” cards at…
