Using the Online Print Shop

Video Transcript

One of the questions that we get most frequently from customers is how does the online print shop work? Today i'm going to go over that with you The first thing that I need to do is I need to open up a project to print So i'm going to scroll down my projects and i'm going to select this postcard right here And i'm going to click edit which is going to open this up Now that that's opened up. I just need to click print Okay

00:26
Now the first thing I need to do is I want to review this design. I want to make sure that it looks exactly the way I think it should. Okay now I'm going to choose the paper that I want to print it on and you can choose any paper you like. Now there's a couple of different ways that you can do this. You can either order these to have them shipped directly to you and in that case you're going to order them by quantity and if you're doing that you'll need to select a quantity. In this case I'm going to put in 700.

00:53
That's going to build them at $1.18 a piece. And as I scroll down here, you'll see that my total is $845.30. And that includes the shipping. Now, if you're like most of our customers, you probably don't want to spend time putting stamps and addresses on 700 postcards. Instead, you'd rather mail them directly to your mailing list. So we can do that. So let's scroll up and let's click on Send to Mailing List.

01:21
The first question is, do you want to plan the scheduling of your mailer? Say yes. It's important to note that the date you select is the date they'll begin processing the print job. You need to allow for 1-3 days for the mailer to enter the postal system and then the shipping time. So if you're sending bulk mail, this could take anywhere from 5-15 days. So plan accordingly. In this case, I want this mailer to be in people's mailboxes at the end of next week, so I'm going to select this to process tomorrow.

01:51
Now I can either ship this to my existing database by uploading my CSV or XLS file, or I can do a free mailing list search based on a specific location. So let's give that a try. Now this is going to take a second to load up. Ok so I'm going to start by doing a search based on a zip code.

02:10
and I'm going to pick 92117, which is a neighborhood here in San Diego. And that gave me 21,726 leads to start with. Now, that's more than I really want to work with. So let me try another way. I'm going to actually do a radius around that zip code 92117. Now, this time with a two mile radius, it actually gave me almost 30,000 leads to work from. So.

02:37
I'm going to change this a little bit. I'm going to focus this on condos, duplexes, and triplexes only. And I'm going to focus on renters who are making between $100 and say $5 million. And as far as the home market value, I'm looking for buyers so I'm not really that worried about the home market value.

02:58
I'm going to go ahead and reduce the radius down to 1.8 miles. And there we go. Now we're under that 700 number that I was already looking at. That's sweet spot. So let's go ahead and add that to the cart. Now because I know that this is going to need to go out quickly. I'm going to select first-class postage.

03:19
Now, including my shipping and everything, my total is going to be $1,317.47. And that's the printing, the processing, and the postage to get all 649 homes on that list.

03:34
Now all I need to do at this point is click add to cart. And when I get to my cart it's going to give me the opportunity to enter any promotional codes I may have. And once I've entered those promotional codes if I have them all I need to do is go to checkout. From there you'll fill out the checkout form, provide payment and away we go. Hopefully this video has shown you how easy it is to use the online print shop.
