Greetings Erika,

I am not sure if you have heard of www.overnightprints.com, but there are an online printing company and they don't charge extra for printing various colors. However, they are limited in the different products they do print. They are great for postcards and business cards. They have great prices too!

Erika - Thanks for joining MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com. Love the logo. Interesting comments about your initially using too many colors. See... that's something most people don't think about! And something new business owners can learn from. Thanks for your honest answers. Feel free to upload video and photos so we can learn more about you. If you have questions, please create a FORUM - and hopefully you'll get lots of response. Of course, the way to help make this site better for all of us is to encourage others to join. It's easy with the INVITE tab at the top of this page. How did you hear about MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com?

Hello Erika,
Thanks for your comments on my page. I do offer private labeling if that is what you would like. You can label them and put your own logo on. Usually I will just ask you to add the text: handmade & packaged by: Hollyrose Aromatherapy in small print on the bottom of the label. Please let me know if this is something that you would like to pursue. Here is the link to sign up for a wholesale account to receive 50% off the retail price: http://www.hollyrosearomatherapy.com/wholesale.php

Thanks,
Holly
