Lob
Lob is working well for batched or scheduled jobs where timing isn't as critical. For items that need to be sent quickly, it's still faster to manually produce.

Adobe Spark is limited to templates and customizable features and shutter stock has a lot of images and assets but never what I need. I like being able to use what I have and Vistaprint will tell me what will work and what won’t work in case of resolving issues or not and the others aren’t as easy to use as well.

Return on Investment
Lob
  • Extremely positive reducing cost of managing the mail production process and spending on paper, printers, and printer supplies.
  • More secure than sending spreadsheet to a mailing house.

  • Positive Impact: I don't need a lot of materials for my business. But when I do need them, it's nice to be able to choose from a good selection. And the product is pretty good.
