12 new horse photo online greeting cards added

Two wonderfully generous ladies sent me a few gorgeous horse pictures that I turned into free greeting cards that you can send over the Internet.

Carolyn Grant has a rare black, Egyptian Arabian stallion named, “Saud El Zaghloul”, nicknamed “Z”. He is a dream – tall, dark, handsome, and exotic! Yep, good looking Arabian horses make my heart beat faster. Wish I could see him in the flesh. I added six new horse ecards from five of Z’s photos. They are posted in the following ecard categories: Arabian Horses, Friendship, Wise Words, Happy Holidays, Birthday, and Beauty.

“Z is doing great & just came back from The Miner Institute, NY, where he goes for the breeding season. We are enjoying long trail rides now and we are training over fences again. He’s happy,” says Carolyn Grant.

Deb Komro of Madison WI sent me some great horse pictures. Galloping photo of her paint horse, “Comanche” who has one brown eye and one blue eye. She also sent me a photo of her past paint horse, “Commander” who had a large white blaze on his face. A wonderful photo of “Miss Sonny” a palomino (color) Quarter Horse galloping and a delightful picture of friend Kristen Traino and her Percheron draft horse Sophie. Deb’s friend Kouros Farro took some of the photos using a Nikon camera. Deb’s photos have been made into cards for the following card categories: Thank you, Happy Birthday, and Friendship.

I’ve already put on a lot of miles on the photo e-cards you added to your website. Everyone loves them!!! Thanks for everything! You are the best!!!
- Deb Komro
P.S. I will recommend your website to family and friends!!!!

Free Ecards are a nice, and easy way to invite your guests to summer parties, dinners, or other events. Send them to your family, friends, clients, and hopeful clients. Most people like to receive greeting cards so they can be used as a marketing tool for your horse business – let your customers know that you are thinking about them and truly appreciate them. Use them to invite people to your horse events, shows, horse events, and even to remind them about their class schedules.

I meet a lot of nice people over the Internet. One of them is Fred Aronowitz, a horse and business owner who discovered my horse business blog and emailed me that he liked my logo and business card designs. Fred owns ColorPrintingPros.com, a full color printing business and he feels he can offer my equestrian logo clients and site visitors a better printing deal knowing that horse people like you desire their printed items as polished, good looking, and robust as your horses.

Fred mailed me samples of his 4 color printing and WOW I am impressed – what eye candy – the colors are clean, crisp, and bright and even the tiniest text is sharp and readable. I really like the substantial feel of the cards, because of their extra thickness and the glossy coatings make the colors POP. Color Printing Pros’s standard paper stocks are heavy 14 Pt card stock with a free upgrade to 16 PT, if you wish, on all cards (except their short run specials.)

Most printing companies charge extra for these heavy card stocks and extra for coatings. Free overall UV coating is included on all card stock and free aqueous coating is included on all book and cover weight stocks. Their standard book weight stock is 100Lb gloss so you don’t need to pay for an upgrade to have your flyers and stallion sheets look and feel great.

For letterheads and envelopes (yes they print these), they use quality 70# bright white opaque smooth finish paper which will reproduce your full color logo beautifully. You can also bleed the color to the edge of the paper – this is generally not possible with many stationary printers or with self printing from your computer and printer.

If you are looking to make your cards unique then consider their matte/dull coating, optional spot UV coating or even their metallic silver ink. If there is something you don’t see on their menu, call or email them for a custom quote. They are open to working with and willing to make suggests on what might work the best for you.

If you only need 100, 250 or 500 copies, click on their ‘Short Run Specials’ for some incredible savings. Short runs are not short on quality – you receive impressive printing, not just quickly make copies.

Fred admits that ColorPrintingPros.com is not the biggest printing shop on the Internet and that fact is a HUGE plus in my book, because I have had my fill (and then some) of the so called customer service of large companies. I prefer working with smaller businesses that don’t treat me as just a number. Fred says that he views his business as a living entity that he is continually working on to improve.

Fred assures me that no matter how small your job is, it is as important to them as it is to you. That they are experienced professionals that understand design and know printing and that they are willing to offer advise and suggestions just for the asking. They can also provide you with design and production services as well. Or if you are creating your own designs you can download some of their free user-friendly layout templates which are available in EPS, JPG, PDF, or AI file formats and for all their print products. http://www.colorprintingpros.com/template.php

Free file technical review

I really like the fact that you can check your design files with their Free file technical review before ordering so you can be sure they are made right and will print great. They also have free online proofing and if you require hard proofs, they are available at a very fair price.

ColorPrintingPros.com also offers items that many of the larger printing companies do not like – bookmarks, door hangers, booklets, posters, CD covers, and others. The also offer more options to add a unique look to your sales and marketing items.

I always tell people to compare prices, services, and value before placing a printing order and I recommend asking for print samples.

A little about Fred Aronowitz

I am a very passionate horse person and avid rider who spends most of my free time with my best friend, “Buddy”, my 16.3 gelding that I rescued from the track. I am the owner of ColorPrintingPros.com and I am exploring how I might grow my business in a more horse and equestrian oriented direction. I believe I can provide expert advice on the printing of sales and marketing literature. I believe we offer a better product with more options to separate our customers from everybody else. About ColorPrintingPros.com

My horse, Buddy, is very athletic and loves to work. He was trained for the track but had a fetlock injury and was put out in a pasture with lots of other horses. He was not alpha. I found him when he was 4 and in very bad shape. He was a couple of hundred pounds under weight and his feet were a mess and he had sores all over. The injuries have completely healed and the fetlock shows as a bit of swelling and is now visible as a blemish only. I bought him because he had a kind eye and seemed very willing. The previous owner had no interest in him and he was virtually left to fend for himself. Buddy is now eleven and a best friend as well as part of my family.
