Animal rescue groups and shelters need to work at self-promotion. Marketing is just as important to a non-profit as it is for any big business. One great way to promote a group is to design and print a colorful flyer to handout at adoption events and other events. There are a lot of printing companies available online and one of them is a cool company, UPrinting.com. UPrinting offers several different printing services including flyer printing and business card printing, all at very affordable prices. You can upload your own artwork or even design something online.
ENTER TO WIN!
When UPrinting approached me about a giveaway, I thought it would be fun to offer the prize to help promote a cat rescue group, since a lot of groups don’t have a big budget for printing. So here’s your chance to win 250 color flyers for your favorite rescue group! To enter, please leave a comment on this post with the name of the animal rescue group that you would give the prize to. The winner will be chosen in a random drawing and announced on October 7, 2011. One entry per person.
The winner will receive 250 free color flyers (4.25″ x 5.5″ or 4″ x 6″) printed on 14pt glossy cardstock (front side printing only), plus free shipping to US addresses. This giveaway is limited to US residents 18 years old and above.
This giveaway is sponsored by UPrinting, no monetary compensation was given and I will receive flyers for hosting. For more information about flyers, please visit Uprinting.com.

Thanks, UPrinting, for donating these flyers. Free advertising is very much appreciated by any rescue group! I would use the flyers for Homes for Endangered and Lost Pets (H.E.L.P.), the foster-based, all-volunteer rescue group which I volunteer for in the St. Charles, IL area. Meow!
